Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., had the pleasure of fabricating and supplying this pre-engineered metal building for a customer in Charles City, Virginia, in August of 2003.
Rugged, damage-resistant and relentlessly durable, the steel garage building now serves multiple purposes for its owner.
Comprised of hardwearing, premium-quality steel components, the building boasts an open, clear-span design that eliminates interior obstructions while freeing up more space for work, storage or other needs.
Pre-Engineered Steel Building Specifications
Like all of Sunward Steel’s prefabricated metal buildings, this one was relatively simple and easy to construct, as all building components arrived at the build site in carefully labeled packages to streamline and shorten the erection process. Once erect, the metal building stands 40’x60’x14’ in size, and it features a bright Blue exterior that offers undeniable curb appeal.
Overhead, a Galvalume steel roof with a 2:12 pitch and custom Black trim further enhances the structure’s aesthetic appeal while protecting its interior against damage and the elements. Additional customizations include (10) framed openings, among them (3) overhead openings enclosing (3) overhead doors, (1) 3070 opening enclosing (1) 3070 door, and (6) 5’8” skylights that let plenty of natural sunlight stream inside.
To enhance durability with respect for the surrounding landscape and climate while ensuring adherence to local building codes, engineers added an 80-mph wind speed rating and a 25-pound snow load at the time of construction.
Affordable, Long-Lasting Construction Solutions
These days, premanufactured metal buildings offer numerous advantages in comparison with alternatives, making them an increasingly popular option among those looking to purchase structures for residential, commercial or industrial use. Ideal for storage areas, garages, mini-storage centers, factories, gyms, equestrian arenas and numerous other types of enterprises, metal buildings are often cheaper and easier to raise than wooden structures, which can considerably lower construction costs.
This particular pre-engineered steel garage building has served its owner well for more than 16 years, and it is highly adaptable, should the need arise to alter its size. Steel buildings are also sustainable, and the fact that the steel used to build them is completely recyclable offers another added benefit for buyers.
