Steel Buildings


Metal building kits offer an affordable way to add a structure to your property. These structures often increase the value of the property and add useful space for the owners.

A fantastic feature of these buildings is that they are prefabricated, meaning they arrive with all the parts you need for assembling the building on-site by adding a few pieces together.

When evaluating prefab metal building kits, you have many types and options to choose from. You can get one of these kits for a carport, garage, RV shelter, barn, and much more. Each type of metal building kit comes with options for sizes and features to help customers get the most out of their building.

Options for Metal Building Kits

You have many options when it comes to metal building kits. Some things to think about are how weather-proofed you want the space to be and what kind of appearance you’re looking for.

Metal building kits are manufactured and assembled in a factory. And then, they are delivered to your location, and the installation takes place. Before the manufacturing team can get started, they need to know your specifications as steel building kits are built to meet your needs.

As you build your custom building, you'll see the metal building kits prices adapt to your preferences. Here's a look at some of the options you can select for your metal building kit.

Regular Roof

You can select to have a regular roof on your building. This is a simple and cost-effective option if you don't have any special needs for the building. A regular roof will serve you well for a carport. It will safely house your car or RV and provide protection from the elements.

A-frame or Boxed Eave Roof

An A-frame or boxed eave roof adds further security for the contents of your metal building. In this style, you’ll enjoy how the A-frame blends in with the design of your home because most homes are also built in this style. Using this roofing option, you can also adjust the height and size of your metal building to meet your needs. Additionally, this roof type has the potential to better protect your vehicle and therefore prolong its life and usefulness.

Vertical Roof

For areas that undergo severe weather, a vertical roof is highly recommended. This roof style helps rain, snow, sleet, and ice fall down the vertical panel to the ground instead of collecting or causing damage. Not only are these roofs are practical for areas with extreme weather, but they are also very attractive. They have a nice trim around the edge and clean lines that are pleasing to the eye.
