metal building

[red hott farmer]

Hello!!
We me and my wife are looking to build ourselves a workshop, office commercial kitchen included and storage area in a "Barn" work building. We have plans and the Slab and walls already poured. for our 48 X 60 Barn-workshop. We were gfoing to build ourselves. but time is getting short and My time would do better Gardening. I live in West central Georgia Zone 7b Has any one had a "barn" built Metal- and been super satisfied. Referals would be nice!
thankyou!.

Hey.

Instead of using plans, get a predrilled metal outbuilding kit...all you need to do is screw it together. There are plenty of shapes and sizes offered on Ebay.

Don't know about Georgia, but here in Texas, there are lots of firms around that build anything you want in a Metal bldg. We had a similar situation about 15 years ago. Had a 30 by 80 foot bldg built with a commerical kitchen in one end, then a restroom (has to be separate from the commercial kitchen) storage area, both above the commercial kitchen and floor level and then a workshop. The only thing I would do different would be to build it 40 by 100 feet. Recommend flooring above the commercial kitchen for storage. Requires a taller building, but that height is very handy and cheaper for storage. Can go up for very little cost compared to all ground floor space.

The firms here, build their own bldg. and are not putting up a manufactured bldg. Be sure and check with existing owners of bldgs. to make sure of their abilities.

They have some nice looking buildings. Haven't tried one myself but they seem to be pretty well built and easy to put together. Also check out the clearance buildings. I got a price from them on a building and they were pretty prompt in their reply.

We built a 25'x40' steel building ourselves. We got it from U.S. Buildings. You just assemble it and up it goes. We put it together in sections on the ground first and then we had people from our Mustang Car Club come over and they helped hoist the sections up. It took us 2 afternoons to put up and another day to tighten all the screws. Took three of us to do the screws. Bill was on the outside, I was on the inside laying on a scaffold and my sis-in-law on the ground moving the scaffold.

We are very satisfied with ours. You can get them without the end walls, if you want. That's what we did and then built the ends how we wanted. One end has a regular house door and a window and the other end has a regular house door, a garage door and a window.

We got ours from www.Freedomsteel.com

40X60 cost us about $16,000.

Nice building, I put it up myself. [I did hire one guy for three hours with his crane to lift the arches].

But for a building that one guy can do by himself, these are great!
