Customization Options for Your Garden Shed

American Metal Buildings is proud to offer a wide selection of customization options on our structures, giving you the power to tailor a building to your specific needs. And to give you an idea of just how vast these customization options are, we’ve listed a few of them below:

1. Size : With a wide variety of building sizes, you’ll be able to choose a structure that’s just right for you. These can range from a tiny equipment shed to an enormous warehouse facility. The only limits are your budget and your imagination!
2. Roof Styles : You’ll have several roofing systems available, each with its own aesthetics and environmental capabilities.
   1. Regular Roofs : A regular roof has rounded edges and horizontally placed panels. It’s an excellent roofing system for buildings located in areas with mild climates.
   2. A-Frame Roofs : An A-frame roof features overhanging awnings, a sharp roof peak, and horizontal panels. This roofing option works well for climates with the high wind but minimal rainfall totals.
   3. Vertical Roofs : Vertical roofs are our strongest option and are built to withstand high winds and heavy rainfall. This roofing system features vertically arranged paneling that allows debris to fall from your roof, keeping it clean with minimal need for maintenance.
3. Colors : Your backyard garden shed doesn’t have to be drab and lifeless! Instead, add a splash of flavor to your building with our wide range of color options. And if you prefer a more subtle approach, you can also change the colors of your trim, roofing panels, and even wainscoting!
4. Steel Framing : Most residential metal buildings use 14-gauge steel framing as the industry standard. However, if you live in an area that frequently sees storms, high winds, and heavy snowfall totals, you’ll be able to upgrade to our thicker 12-gauge framing!
5. Anchors : The anchor system your building needs will depend on your chosen foundation type. Our installation teams will use auger-like anchors for dirt build sites to secure your building to the ground. However, for concrete foundations, we’ll use bolt anchors that will be drilled into your concrete pad.
6. Certifications : The certification system is a standardized process ensuring that a building can withstand the wind, snow, and seismic loads in a particular area. In most localities, building inspectors require metal structures to be certified before they’ll issue structural permits.

A Wide Array of Applications for Garden Sheds

A key feature that makes our metal buildings so useful is their versatility. These structures can be used in various settings, from residential applications to commercial facilities and beyond. And to give you an idea of the ways these structures can be used, we’ve listed a few of them below:

1. Art Studios : Whether you’re a painter or a seasoned woodworker, metal buildings offer the space you need to house and organize all your equipment while still providing a comfortable area to work. Additionally, metal buildings are rated to withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, making them an excellent choice for fire-prone activities like welding and glass blowing.
2. Entertainment Rooms : If you’ve always wanted a home theater, a man cave, a she-shed, or a family game room, metal structures are excellent. The interiors of these structures can be finished and transformed into a wonderfully cozy area to enjoy time with family and friends.
3. Home Gyms : If you’re all about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but you don’t want to break the bank on costly monthly gym subscriptions, why not build your own? These metal structures can be completely customized to make room for heavy exercise equipment, weight racks, treadmills, and more.
4. Home Offices : Whether you’re running a side hustle or just maintaining the family finances, having office space separated from your home environment is essential. And metal buildings are a great solution! These buildings can be finished to make wonderful office spaces.
5. Kid’s Playhouses : Not only are metal buildings a great way to protect your important valuables, but they can also be turned into fantastic playhouses for your kids!
6. ATV Storage : If you have all-terrain vehicles, storing them is important for keeping them in working order. And there’s no better way to do that than with a steel building. These structures can be adapted and customized to fit your ATV storage needs.

The Many Benefits to Owning a Metal Garden Shed

4. Save Money : Steel buildings are some of the most economical construction methods on the market. These structures are designed to last for years with minimal maintenance requirements, saving you money before, during, and long after your purchase.

Essential Things to Consider When Purchasing a Metal Shed

Purchasing a metal building is a big process, and you’ll want to perform the necessary research to ensure that the process goes smoothly! To this, we’ve put together a small checklist of things you’ll need to keep in mind when purchasing a metal structure.

• Cost and Budget : The first and most crucial aspect of any building project will be your budget. You’ll need to carefully plan out what you need and what you’ll be able to afford.
• DIY or Pro Installation? : When you purchase a metal building, installation is typically included. However, if you’re an avid DIYer, have a background in construction, or simply want to take on a new weekend project, you may opt to install the structure yourself.
• Building Dimensions : Another crucial factor in your metal building purchase will be to determine how large of a building you need. For example, are you looking for small equipment shed, or do you need a larger facility for storing vehicles? It’s important to know what you need before starting the process.
• Permits Required : Another aspect that will need to be covered is the permitting for your structure. Before purchasing a structure, you’ll need to contact your local building officials to determine what steps you’ll need to take to secure a permit. This is extremely important as failure to do so can result in fines and significant penalties.
• Site Preparation : Before installation, you’ll need to ensure that your build site is thoroughly graded, level, and cleared of debris. If you intend to use a concrete foundation, you’ll want to ensure that it has had ample time to fully cure before installation.

Garden Shed Prices

American Metal Buildings is proud to offer a wide range of metal buildings at affordable prices. However, our structures are complex and can vary in price based on several factors. These include:

• Steel Costs : Raw steel is a valuable commodity that fluctuates based on public demand, shipping costs, and logistics. These fluctuations can affect the final price of your new structure.
• Customizations : At American Metal Buildings, you’ll have a wide selection of custom options for your building. However, these customization options often require additional steel or resources to construct. This can affect your building’s price.
• Manufacturers : We are happy to use a wide range of manufacturers to ensure that you can purchase a premium metal building from American Metal Buildings no matter where you call home. However, some manufacturers’ rates do change, and depending on where you live, your structure might vary slightly in price.
• Installation : If you live in a remote location that’s difficult for our installation crews to reach, you may be charged extra installation fees for the resources needed to complete the job.
