I would like to know how well is the steel frame buildings for an automobile workshop. I have seen this in a lot of places.I am planning to start a garage of my own.

Recently I found a company online that do sustainable steel construction in Canada. They will be energy saving. But, I would like to know if there are any advantages to the steel buildings?

I am a mechanic and the garage I work has concrete walls. They are tough and sturdy. But, steel buildings are so popular these days. I would appreciate your opinion.

Thank you.

If you are a do-it-yourselfer, go to http://roshmetal.com/ . On their website, within minutes, you can design your building and price it. When you are ready you can buy a package with the steel and insulation from them. I purchased a 42'X90', 16' height at the eaves, 1/12 pitch, from them in 2004.

For $23,000 ($6 sq. ft.) they provided everything above the concrete except the garage doors - all the steel, 3" insulation for the walls/ceiling, and the plans with Engineer certification that my state required. I provided the foundation, the concrete floor and anchor bolts.

I erected the building with the help of my 80 year old dad, a 25' scissor lift and a farm tractor with a front end loader. The building has six bays that are 15'X42' with each bay having a 12' wide X 14' tall garage door. I lease out four of the bays and use two of the bays for storage for my cabinet shop. I am retired now, but that extra space sure is nice and the four leased bays bring in income that helps defray expenses of my now idle cabinet shop. The cabinet shop is a concrete block building built in 1984 - if I could do it over it would be a steel building.

I am a wood guy so everything around me is wood, but because of the fire danger I do not feel comfortable making a wood shop building out of wood.

Good afternoon my dear friends, is someone here looking a way to clean the snow in your field? John deere snowblower attachment x300 can be easily installed in your John Deere tractors. I got it here and guess what, John Deere has introduced a longer limited warranty for those types of equipment.
