Even though building with pre-engineered steel is a cheaper, easier, and faster it still takes careful consideration as to some of the materials you will choose. One decision in particular is the choice of the right frame for your project. If you have questions about choosing the right frame, or just want to refresh your knowledge, then this new blog from us at Discount Steel Buildings is for you. Should you use multi-span or clear-span? When are side-ways bracing and purlin bracing necessary? Answers to all these questions and more are addressed in this new blog series. Come back next week as we get started.

We here at Discount Steel Buildings offer a variety of building types. One in particular can be of use to just about anyone: Garages for cars, trucks, and other vehicles.

Fire consuming a steel self-storage building is unlikely as steel is fire-resistant. Use of surveillance systems assists in adding to the protection of these structures. Finally the protection premiums for your pre-engineered steel building can also be minimized because of the incombustibility of commercial quality steel. Your insurance agent would be delighted to learn that you are going to build your next project out of steel. At Discount Steel Buildings we understand how important your property is—so, our steel buildings are all built with this type of resilient and durable quality. We want the property that you would have stored—either by yourself or your customers—to be protected as if it were our own stuff!

What’s involved time-wise in a steel building project? Thankfully, steel self-storage assemblies are quick and simple. Pre-fabricated and pre-engineered at the production facility they are then shipped to the jobsite. Pre-welded, pre-punched and pre-drilled helps to reduce labor costs (which when you are using traditional building materials, the costs can be quite substantial.) As soon as the structure is delivered it is able to be promptly assembled. Therefore, there is a considerable advantage to designing and building with pre-engineered steel as your building will be more-than-likely be built on time (and possibly, ahead of schedule). Most builders of self-storage units do so with commercial business purposes in mind. If that is your situation, then the sooner your self-storage units are built, then the sooner you can begin to start seeing a return on your investment by bringing customers to those units and your customers starting to pay rent.

When assembling self-storage units, the raw material of choice remains with premium quality steel. High winds, heavy snows, and seismic activity show little impact on buildings constructed with premium quality steel. Steel self-storage facilities can be finished with an aluminum blend to allay corrosion. Premium quality steel is an economically viable alternative as it sustains small structural overhead expenses. Where are you going to store your most valuable property? Put it in a place that is strong enough to keep it safe from the threat of theft and protect it from the elements. Yes, they will last a long time and require so little maintenance that you will have more time to invest in your most important business endeavours.

Over the next few weeks, we want to focus on one of the building types that we offer here at Discount Steel Buildings and that application is for Self-Storage Buildings.

Continuing to be widely recognized as the preferred type of building material, steel structures are on the upswing in the construction community. What has led to this popularity that sets steel so far apart from traditional building measures? The answer is simple: affordability and sturdiness. When it comes to the preference of the builders of storage units, the choice is obvious as well: steel. When these structures are built with steel, they are more water-proof than wood and resilient against high-winds and pest attacks. In addition, they require very little maintenance. When customers store their valuables in these units, they can rest assured that their belongings are well protected.

Today, steel buildings are no longer resigned to look like they are made of metal. A warehouse does not have to look like an oversized tin shed. Rather, when you purchase a pre-engineered steel building from Discount Steel Building you have the choice from a variety of materials to give your building the professional look you want that will drive customers in and to keep them coming back. Think of it as your little secret—that your modern looking building has been framed with 26-grade steel, making it very strong and durable!
