Industrial Steel Buildings Are Perfect For All Your Storage Needs

03/18/10

With their versatility and strength, industrial steel buildings are suitable for just about any purpose. They provide an affordable yet durable solution whether your needs are for light manufacturing space or storage for farm equipment.

Industrial steel buildings come in several different design structures that are easy to assemble. The P series utilizes the more traditional design of straight sidewalls and arched roof and offers the greatest possible amount of usable space by raising the arch up to the top of the sidewalls. This gives you enough room for a backyard workshop or garage. The A series modifies the P series design by offering a 4 to 12 pitch roof for maximum strength and durability in high wind and snow areas. This design can also be utilized as a backyard workshop or garage. S series buildings have high, straight sidewalls and a curved arch roof that protects from heavy rain and snow accumulation. You have 100 percent usable vertical and floor space by virtue of the high sidewalls; this design grants you the ability to house small manufacturing, industrial and commercial operations or fire and airport fueling stations within its walls. You can even store a recreational vehicle in an S series industrial steel building.

This brings us to the Q series industrial steel building. Q series buildings, also known as Quonset huts, are some of the strongest structures in architecture because of their rounded corrugated arch design. These huts, named for Quonset, Rhode Island, the location of the naval base where the hut design was developed, were used extensively during World War II to house troops and equipment in the field. The design was so popular that some returning soldiers purchased the surplus huts to use for their personal housing after the war ended. These days, Q series industrial steel buildings are used for such diverse purposes as airplane hangars and to house grain; their ability to resist tornados, hurricanes, and heavy rain, snow and wind make them ideal storage facilities.

Industrial steel buildings are also popular with farmers. They provide unequalled protection for valuable farm machinery, grain, crops, horses and livestock. Nothing can serve this purpose better than an industrial steel building. Much more durable than the traditional wooden pole barn, these buildings are also maintenance free. Their size allows them to house large quantities of grain, crops and hay.

As you can see, industrial steel buildings are versatile enough to suit just about any purpose. You can even turn one into a guest cottage.
