Prefacbricated Steel Building Upgrades

By Chris Dotson

These days are much more complex then say your classic military quoset huts that looked like cans buried in the ground, steel buildings have made some advancements since then. And funny enough, you've seen the show on tv that pimps peoples ride, well were here to pimp your steel building. And if you are looking to save some green on this process we have what is called the "simple box" metal building, no bells or whistles.

Say you have some money though and you are looking to really show off your steel building, to the world or to show the competition your no small game, well you might wanna check out some of out steel building upgrades and accessories.

I'm going to go over several upgrade options that are available and the terminology associated with them so you will know what to ask for when you're ready to compare metal building prices.

Something you will see on the inner portions of colonial style homes is Wainscoting. This is also done on the outside of prefabricated steel buildings as well.

This is done by you picking out a color of sheeting you want to be applied from the ground up, to a standard of three or four feet, then you are able to choose a different color for the rest. This is a great way to say match your steel garage or barn with your house, by using the same color as the house trim as the wainscot color.

Another upgrade that will make your metal garage more attractive is overhangs. They can definitely improve the look and performance of steel barns. Overhangs are simply extensions of the roof. Large overhangs can be added to prefab metal buildings to create sheltered areas and increase outside storage capacity. If you choose to add overhangs to your building, adding soffits (the underside of the overhang) close everything in and add to the attractiveness of the look you're trying to create.

Wanting to add something really unique to your building to make it stand out above the rest, add a Cupola. This is nothing more than a simple mini building that will sit on the peak of your own building. There is also a weather vane to add some additional style.

These steel building accessories and upgrades I've described are just a few of the options out there available to create a unique and beautiful addition to your property. So when you're figuring out your overall budget, remember to include a little extra to make your steel building stand out above the rest. - 29971
