Contrary to myth, metal buildings are as safe in electrical storms as are wood frame or concrete buildings. The structure is thoroughly grounded so that there is no danger from lightning strikes or electrical mishap.

One nice advantage to choosing a metal building is that costs decrease as the size of the building increases. This means that you can make your decisions based on how much square footage you need rather than on a budgeted dollar amount.

Compared to traditional framing methods, metal frame construction is considerably less expensive. Because there are fewer materials, costs are kept under control in all phases, including roofing.

Choose metal buildings when you want a product that is sturdier and more durable than wood. Metal buildings can withstand high load conditions with little or no movement in the structural components or panels.

If you own land near a lake or river, convert it to a moneymaker by installing metal buildings for boat storage. Add siding, indoor partitioning, and locking doors and potential customers will be able to easily store and remove their vessels all year long.

Depending on your needs, a metal building can be constructed as you see fit. If you simply need a covered area, walls are optional. If you want to be able to use the structure all year long, add walls and insulation for the greatest versatility.

Your new metal building is available in a variety of colors and color combinations. The paint is applied at the factory, and has a longer life than paint applied to wood sided buildings, thereby removing these costs from maintenance schedules.

Because of the construction techniques used in building metal structures, interior walls needn't be load bearing. This means that you can expand or contract rooms and offices as needed without worrying about damaging the structural integrity of the building.

Metal buildings are significantly more environmentally-friendly than traditional buildings are and they leave less of a carbon footprint. This makes them perfect for those who are seeking or have Green of LEED certification.

Metal buildings are as energy efficient as wood or brick-framed structures. Steel buildings can also be outfitted with energy efficient windows and doors, all of which make for an economically smart purchase.

Post frame buildings are exceptionally low maintenance. Generally speaking, periodic pressure washing or hosing off is all that is needed to keep it looking its best.
