Preparing Your Site & Building a Quality Foundation
You’ve ordered your custom metal building, chosen the perfect colors, and surveyed the perfect spot! But, before your dream can become a reality, you need a strong foundation that will protect your investment in any weather. Do you need an asphalt pad, or will simple gravel support be enough? There’s a lot to consider!
Site clearance and preparation must be completed before professional installation can begin, and, depending on your local ordinances, you may need a permit. While all the factors involved may seem overwhelming, our fantastic customer service experts are here to help!
Read on to discover which foundation is the best choice for your metal building:
![concrete]()
Concrete
Concrete is an excellent choice for your foundation due to its durable and stable nature. While it is more expensive than other options, when it is professionally installed, you can rest assured that your building will be secure! Depending on what you are storing, concrete provides a dry, raised floor to protect your belongings from the elements.

Depending on what you are storing, concrete provides a dry, raised floor to protect your belongings from the elements.
Our experts advise that you hire a professional to pour your concrete foundation. They can communicate with you about your building’s requirements, know when to pour concrete with reference to temperature and humidity, and ensure it is properly set before your building’s installation day.
Once your beautiful custom metal building arrives, simply bolt and anchor it to your new foundation!

Asphalt
If you prefer the appearance of asphalt, you’ll be happy to discover that it is slightly cheaper than concrete. However, if you have a large metal building, you may need to upgrade to concrete. Asphalt is a very durable option, making it popular with commercial and personal consumers. Bear in mind that it requires regular maintenance and yearly sealant to prevent cracks.

As with concrete, anchoring your steel building to asphalt is simple and will provide an excellent, stable foundation.
![Ground]()
Ground
Perhaps, your prefab building is small, your lot is level and dry, and you are comfortable with a simple ground foundation. We recommend clearing all brush and debris from the site several days in advance and keeping an eye on how the bare soil responds to weather and water. Your judgment matters when it comes to your project, and our experts will be happy to discuss different anchoring and installation options!

Gravel
Are you searching for a quality budget option? While it may not be your first choice, gravel is a great beginning foundation. As with all foundation options, be sure your space is level and cleared of all debris before delivery. We recommend purchasing enough gravel to provide a buffer zone around your building and allowing it some time to settle before adding a second layer. Once your gravel is leveled and tamped down, your building can be secured atop with drive anchors.

The best part of a gravel foundation? It is easy to pour a concrete foundation over the gravel in the future when your time and budget allows! In the meantime, a properly leveled gravel foundation will keep your building secure.
Liberty Metal Structures is committed to our quality products, and that includes ensuring they are resting on the best foundation! A proper foundation is essential to your building’s structural integrity. Of course, this means that our buildings cannot be installed simply anywhere. Without proper base anchors, our professionals cannot ensure the safety and durability of our structure. There are some spaces our experts are unable to install our buildings listed below:
INSTALLATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR:
- Floating Docks
- Uneven Surfaces or Land
- Slopes or Grades over 12 degrees
- Raised Blocks or Other Structures
- Our experts cannot install over three feet of insulation
Make sure your ground is professionally levelled before the unit can be install. We will not be able to install the structure if any of the following are indicated at the construction site.

As climate change alters the global landscape, savvy consumers are turning to sustainable methods for their modern lifestyles. Cleverly designed reusable items, methods for composting, and other green initiatives are increasingly popular with the average citizen as we all search for ways to care for the Earth. Eco-friendly designs can even be found in the construction industry. Metal buildings are environmentally friendly in many ways. The U.S. Green Building Council created the LEED® rating system to evaluate and certify buildings. Now in its fourth iteration, the LEEDv4 system is used to rate “green” buildings on a variety of factors, from materials to sustainability to indoor environmental quality.
Steel buildings by Liberty Metal Structures are expertly sealed to reduce air leakage and comply with the LEED Energy and Atmosphere category. Metal buildings reduce energy usage through heat reflection and by accommodating high-performance insulation. Another LEED factor is construction material, its reduction, and waste management. Metal buildings are prized for their engineering and total recyclability. LEED also evaluates interior air quality; since metal buildings are shop painted, VOCs are not leeched into the air over time, which is a concern with wood structures. The combination of scores in all these categories is used to certify buildings as “green” or sustainable.
When you’re considering the purchase of a custom building, you may not think of metal buildings right away. Traditional methods often favor wood or brick and leave metal for skyscrapers and industrial plants. However, as metal buildings prove to be versatile and affordable, the savvy consumer is choosing to value energyefficiency and durability. Metal structures enjoy lower insurance premiums than their timber competitors due to their safety ratings. Metal buildings can be installed in half the time for a far lower price. The benefits of owning a metal building are short-term, long-term, financial, and environmental. There’s an incredible world of metal buildings for you to explore!
Your new metal building needs proper building site preparation because the long-term structural integrity of the project depends on it! If your structure is built on an incorrectly prepared site, the building may be fined or cited by a building inspector. Worse, a shift in the soil may compromise the strength of the building. If your building is not properly certified, you may not be able to sell the property in the future. For all these reasons and more, it is imperative that you correctly prepare your building site before your new metal building arrives. The good news is that you will find this relatively easy to do!
The Options are Endless
Flexible workshops, gorgeous garages, versatile studios, and more! From eco-friendly homes to meticulously fabricated warehouses, there are so many varieties of metal buildings!
Don’t be overwhelmed! Read on to discover the unique benefits of different structures and how they can work for you!
