Steel buildings have come a long way from the old military quonset huts that looked like half a soup can buried in the ground. Just like the tv show that helps people “pimp their rides”, there are so many accessories and upgrades available these days to pimp your steel building. If you’re looking to keep your steel building prices low when you request your quotes, then you can limit yourself to what we call just a “simple box” metal building, no bells or whistles added.
But if you’re trying to keep up with the Joneses in your neighborhood, or want your farm to stand out so your new steel barn doesn’t look like the run of the mill cookie cutter building, then you’re going to want to become familiar with the possible upgrades and accessories available for prefab steel buildings.
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.
Wainscoting for instance has mostly been done in a colonial style home, this is where wood panels are used to line the lower portions of the inter walls. We are able to do this same thing on the steel building as well but on the outside of the building.
You can pick one color of sheeting to be applied from the ground up to a standard of three or four feet, then a different color of sheeting to be applied from the top of the wainscoting to the eave of the prefab building. It’s a great technique to use to match your steel garage to your house by using your house trim color as the wainscot color.
Another thing you might want to look into to add attractiveness to your structure are overhangs. Not to mention they are a great way to improve the performance and looks of a steel barn. A overhang is nothing more than a say, rook extension that shoots out over the ground to add additional storage space. If you do choose to add this overhang option it is usually a good idea to add soffits as well to close everything in and add to the attractiveness of your building.
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.
