Some of the things our Ohio steel building buyers love about steel buildings!

Easy to handle: Safety precautions are always a necessity, but overall, there aren’t many pieces to a steel building that are difficult to handle. The steel tubing is not as heavy as you may thing, and the sheet metal can be easy to deal with.

They are fireproof: steel buildings cannot burn, so things are kept safe from this risk. It makes it a great place to store historical or expensive cars, to work on crafting projects, and more. This also adds to the longevity. In areas where summers are hot and fires are common, and the fact that many unexpected fires occur as well, makes it a place to build where you can have peace of mind that the contents inside and the building itself aren’t going to be affected by an external fire.

Energy efficiency: steel buildings can be insulated with a spray insulation that is very energy efficient and the insulation can also seal up leaks or spaces, keeping the needs for cooling and heating to a minimum.

The buildings are termite proof: Owners of a steel building won’t ever have to worry about structural damage due to an infestation of bugs eating away at the building materials because there are no bugs that will eat through steel.

Inexpensive repairs: If the steel building is in need of repair for one reason or another, you can simply attach another piece of metal over the damaged area. If the damage is larger, it is inexpensive and simple to replace the entire section.

Endless Possibilities: When the average person thinks of a steel building, they think tin garage, tiny metal storage shed, maybe even an dusty airplane hanger, but there is so much more to steel building than meets the eye. You can create nearly any type of room or building that your mind can imagine like a guest house, a man cave, even a distillery.

Common Customer Questions About Steel Buildings

Do I need a permit for a steel building? In some cases yes, but not always. For example, some locations and townships do not require a permit to erect agricultural buildings. To be certain, check with your local government offices before buying a steel building. Most of our partners in all areas we serve will happily give you advice on the steps required to be sure and who to speak with.

Do I need a foundation for a steel building? At the very least, you will need concrete piers for the columns to sit upon. Most building crews will pour a full foundation, but if you are using the building on a farm or ranch and plan to have dirt, gravel, or sawdust floors, a pier system may be all you need. One option is to combine piers with a concrete footing around the perimeter of the building.

What foundation thickness do you recommend? Foundation thickness must be determined by a an engineer or your local building codes. For example, in the southern half of the U.S. tend to be 4 inches, while the thickness can exceed 8 inches in northern climates. Hot summers and cool winters tend to mean err on the side of caution and thicker lasts longer.

How long does it take to build a steel building Due to each customer's specific needs, delivery time of the required sections can take as much as 6-8 weeks. Common designs may be ready to ship the same week. Build times vary due to size and type but can be as short as 1 week.

Are steel buildings insulated? We offer several types and r-values of insulation specifically designed for steel buildings that help control condensation and can also be used for climate controlled buildings. Typically, a climate controlled building has 6" of vinyl-backed insulation in the roof and 4" in the walls. All the insulation options can be customized for higher climate control, efficiency or on the other side for cost savings on the steel building.
