Advantages of Metal Barns
Steel barns are superior to buildings made with wood or other materials for several reasons:
- Strong & Durable – Metal barns won’t rot like wood and can withstand regular use and challenges from Mother Nature including wind, rain, snow, and lightning – they’re even more earthquake-resistant. The metal paneling is coated with aluminum or zinc compounds to help prevent rust and prolong panel life.
- Minimal Maintenance – Metal is easier to clean and needs less maintenance than stick-builds or other structures. And since the color is infused into the metal during the fabrication process, you won’t have the same peeling or fading paint issues that you’d face with a wooden barn.
- Safer Protection – Steel isn’t susceptible to termites, critters, or pests, and won’t harbor mold or mildew. Steel is also much more fire-resistant than wood. A metal barn is a safer way to protect your horses, livestock, and other items.
- Multipurpose Uses – The versatility of steel for building design allows for more clear-span interior space and customization options, too. It’s also easier to expand your metal barn as your space needs grow and change.
- Cost-Effective –Thanks to the superior strength, durability, and fire resistance of a metal barn, your insurance costs may actually go down if you choose a steel building over other options. That’s another cost benefit you get by choosing a structure from American Metal Structures!
Steel Barn Applications and Uses
One of the first things you need to decide when choosing a steel barn is how you plan to use your structure. Consider how much space you’ll need to accommodate your animals, feed, farm supplies, or anything else you’d like to store. Make sure to factor in the length, width, and height of the items you plan to shelter or store. Whether you need a barn for farming/agriculture needs, vehicle protection, or just some good, general storage space, we can custom build in any size to fit your needs. Our metal barn buildings also make great places to host social functions, cookouts, wedding receptions, and more!
