Constructing a metal building might seem like a demanding project out of scope for many, but as the Fernwood family showed, the DIY spirit extends to projects big and small. Carl Fernwood and his family were looking to add a garage to their property, where large machinery could be stored.
They chose to work with General Steel to complete a DIY metal building, and the final product was a highly functional, professional garage that will safely shelter the family’s valuable machinery. Fernwoods chose General Steel for a few reasons.
The Fernwood family had the tools and skillset to complete a DIY metal building from start to finish, making General Steel’s prefab building system an ideal fit for their project. Much of the labor to construct and erect the building is taken care of before delivery, including pre-punched framed openings and welded connections. The simple bolt-together construction provided an authentic DIY solution.
The steel-framed openings and sectional doors of a General Steel structure allowed for easy access for their machinery. In addition to access features including sectional doors, roll-up doors, and walk doors, General Steel buildings include options for windows, skylights, trim color, insulation, and more. These components reflect your practical and aesthetic preferences.
Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material, ensuring that the Fernwood’s DIY metal garage will thrive even under the most extreme circumstances. That strength is backed by a 50-year structural warranty that only General Steel is capable of offering. Security was a top priority for the Fernwoods, and General Steel offered the most dependable solution.
The prefabrication process creates a big advantage for the consumer – allowing them to not only choose a building package designed according to use, but also efficiently complete construction process that saves time and limits costs.
