Some of the things our Shreveport Louisiana metal building buyers love about steel buildings!

Durability: The materials used in metal buildings can withstand even the most severe of weather conditions. Large balls of hail, lightning rods, and high-speed winds are no match for a metal building. Not only do they hold up well in all types of weather, they also stand the test of time and will last decades without showing much wear and tear, if any. Ease of maintenance: There are no worries of roof shingles that need to be replaced, deteriorating exterior materials, or hard-to-clean surfaces on a steel building. A simple hose-down periodically will keep your building clean and have it looking excellent.

Simplicity: There are few materials involved with a metal building and the structure itself is extremely simple. They are easy to put together in a short amount of time because of their simple nature. On a prepared slab, a 1200 ft. structure can go up in as little as a few hours.

Flexibility: You can build nearly anything with a metal building. Doors or any type, windows, even plush interiors can all be part of these types of structures with a little planning.

Affordability: The materials used to create a metal building are far less expensive than the concrete, lumber, brick, etc. needed to construct other types of structures. The property taxes are also much lower because the value of the metal building is likely to be seen as less valuable than many other types of constructed buildings.

Quality Steel Materials:Metal Buildings are unmatched in outdoor strength and durability. But a metal building also offers great resistance to wear and tear from the elements compared to other building materials like wood. A well built and insulated steel building will last decades with minimal need for maintenence.

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.
