Larry purchased a 25’x48’ SteelMaster building and is making the most of it. One might even assume he is making a toast to it. After all, he is a successful oenologist and the proud owner of a SteelMaster building.

You just never know what is inside a SteelMaster building, and this is part of the beauty and security of owning one. Although SteelMaster steel arched and metal prefabricated buildings are easily spotted by the trained eye, others may just gawk with envy over what an amazing-looking storage facility you have on your property.

Larry told us, “Our SteelMaster building is a great building. We absolutely love it! I even added two roof vents and a Janus roll up door to it”.

Larry and a couple of friends constructed his building. Inside he boasts a small, private label winery. “We only bottle 60-70 cases of Cabernet per year, and it is all sold exclusively to a Las Vegas hotel/casino as their private label premium cabernet wine,” Larry responded.

Sorry, but it is difficult not to get excited and perhaps a little bit envious over the sheer genius and creativity of SteelMaster customers. Larry was kind enough to send us progress photos of the construction and completed shiny new building. All kidding aside, this is one brilliant man. However, we noticed there are no photos of the inside of his building.

We offered Larry a “plug” in this story for his wine label. He emailed us and wrote, “The Vegas casino that sells our wine has asked us to keep the name a secret, so you will just have to dance around the name in your article,” adding a little smiley-face.

A couple of things are for certain. Larry knows he does not have to worry about termites taking over his building and his private stock barrels inside. He can rest assured his building will withstand just about anything Mother Nature’s fury lashes out, including fire, freezing temperatures, and hurricane force winds.

SteelMaster is familiar with keeping secrets safe and takes pride in knowing our steel buildings have earned the favor of not only the FBI, Public Works, DEA, and the Army Corps of Engineers, but also all branches of the United States Armed Forces. The SteelMaster metal building line serves the government well, especially in its ability to quickly assemble, disassemble, relocate and then reassemble as needs dictate.

SteelMaster has provided safe and private storage for recovered treasures from ocean depths, a crashed UFO or two, and Quonset huts for extra-terrestrial beings. Well, maybe not, but it certainly is fun to think about!

SteelMaster’s steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including homes, farm buildings, garages, workshops, agricultural storage, Quonsets, airplane hangars, RV storage, roofing systems, carports, military buildings, commercial warehousing, and industrial storage as well as a wide variety of custom building applications including athletic facilities, retail stores, churches, bus stops, smoke shacks, doggie dorms, and correctional facilities.

We do know that helping Larry Smith keep his secret label Cabernet private and secure, and his resounding, “Great Building!” regarding his SteelMaster storage building is another mission accomplished.

SteelMaster is celebrating its 30-year Anniversary this month. This milestone marks over 40,000 satisfied customers with SteelMaster buildings constructed worldwide on six continents, in over 50 countries, and throughout the United States.

• Your SteelMaster structure will arrive on a flatbed truck that is approximately 80 feet long. The trailer is 53 feet long and holds between 7 to 12 buildings. There is no offloading equipment on the truck, so the buyer is responsible for offloading.
• The truck driver will introduce himself and finalize paperwork and payments (if required), then provide you with a bill of lading and a construction manual.
• An average building up to 30′ wide x 30′  long can be offloaded by 3 to 4 people in approximately 70 minutes or less.
• The average weight of a single panel is approximately 40 pounds. The panel length is typically 36″ to 120″. The single heaviest component will be your door header or door post, if included with kit.
• If you have a forklift or other equipment available, offloading time will be significantly reduced. If you purchased a building that exceeds 5,000 pounds, it is recommended that you obtain equipment to make removing the pallets from the truck easier.

That’s all there is to it. Just get a few friends to help you out, and you will be ready to start building your SteelMaster before you know it!

When Tina Winnett realized she desired somewhere other than her exposed parking space to store her brand new, shiny white vehicle, she did what most of us do when we need facts with pictures from an infinite source of wisdom. She “googled it”.

SteelMaster’s designs and prefabricated steel and metal arched buildings and carports are plastered all over the world-wide web, so Tina had little problem honing in on what she wanted.

Tina summed up the reason she chose SteelMaster by saying, “I recently purchased a new vehicle and realized I needed to protect it from bird droppings, sap and debris where I park under an oak tree. I Googled carport images on the internet. The minute I spotted the SteelMaster carport, I knew I had found the look I wanted. I immediately went to the company website, and was impressed by the affordability, quality and sturdiness of the steel, the warranty, and finally by the conversation I had with SteelMaster’s Senior Project Specialist, Michael Suozzi. I learned that that upon completion, the carport could even withstand all types of weather conditions. Michael told me about some customers in Alabama with SteelMaster carports that withstood the devastating tornadoes of April, 2011. After going through three hurricanes here in Lakeland, Florida in a six-week span in back in 2004, and a recent tornado that dropped trees and snapped a power pole in my back yard, I decided this was the carport I needed.”

“Although it can be easily assembled, I decided to hire a contractor to erect the building. When he first started assembly, he had some reservations about the sturdiness of the carport because the bolts had to remain loose up to a certain point. Once he began tightening everything up, he was very impressed,” said Tina.

“I love the look of the carport and have received many favorable comments from friends and neighbors. Obviously, it serves the purpose for which it was purchased, and I am convinced it will withstand whatever mother nature sends my way in the future,” Tina added confidently.

“SteelMaster buildings are engineered for life,” said Michelle Wickum, SteelMaster’s Director of Marketing. “Our Steel Arched Buildings are designed to meet the wind loads of their destination whether located in Florida, Alabama or the Caribbean. Our buildings are made with consideration given to climatological factors in order to provide protection from water, freezing temperatures, fire, and even hurricane-force winds.”

“Statistical weather data plays a huge role in each customer’s design process,” adds Michelle. “Our company’s use of Galvalume Plus Coating not only provides our carports with strength and superior corrosion resistance, it also makes SteelMaster Buildings maintenance-free for life.”

SteelMaster’s steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including carports, just like the one Tina Winnett now enjoys. SteelMaster designs also include projects for homes, farm buildings, garages, workshops, agricultural storage, Quonsets, airplane hangars, RV storage, roofing systems, carports, military buildings, commercial warehousing, and industrial storage as well as a wide variety of custom building applications including athletic facilities, retail stores, churches, bus stops, smoke shacks, doggie dorms, and correctional facilities.
This month, SteelMaster is celebrating its 30-year anniversary. With more than 40,000 satisfied customers with buildings throughout the United States, located in more than 50 overseas countries, and on six continents, SteelMaster is a stand out, and remains the leader in Steel Arched Pre-fabricated Buildings world-wide.

Below is a two part video series from one of our customers in the Catskill Mountains of New York. They recorded the construction of their Quonset Hut home from the very first step of digging the trenches and pouring the footings to the completion of all the arches. Once they added custom endwalls to complete their home, they also entered our last photo contest and were named a finalist. Check out their videos below…
