Choosing the Right Roof Based on Your Region’s Weather
The weather in your area will have a massive effect on what type of roof you'll need for your new metal building. Some designs are engineered to be more capable of withstanding extreme weather like high winds, rains, and heavy snowfall.
Regular Roofs
Regular roofs can easily be identified by their rounded edges and horizontally arranged paneling. This option is the most inexpensive roofing system available but isn't designed to handle extreme weather as well as other options. This roof type works best in regions with a moderate climate and calm weather.
A-Frame Horizontal Roofs
A-frames, also known as boxed-eave roofs, feature horizontally placed panels on a traditional peaked roof. This roofing type serves as a great mid-level option that's sturdy yet cost-efficient. This roofing system is designed to handle areas with heavy winds but with little precipitation.
Vertical Roof
This roofing system is the premium choice. Named for its vertically oriented paneling, this design allows rain, snow, and debris to slide off the roof effortlessly. Vertical roofs are engineered to withstand the harshest weather and are the prime choice for anyone living in a region that frequently experiences extreme weather.
Why Vertical Roof Barns are the Strongest Roofing Option
There are many reasons a potential customer would choose an A-frame vertical roof style over more economical options. The first is due to sheer strength. This roofing style is our strongest roofing system available. Their vertical panels allow rain, snow, and debris to easily fall from the roof, saving you time, money, and plenty of headaches throughout the structure's life.
The second reason is aesthetics. Vertical panels are pleasing to the eye and offer a more traditional look for your barn. Some customers prefer the look of peaked roofs over more modern designs. This type of roof works well in almost any climate but is exceptionally sturdy in regions that experience heavy winds and substantial rainfall.
The Many Uses for Vertical Roof Barns
Metal structures are some of the most flexible construction methods available. They come in a massive range of styles and shapes, ranging from smaller carports to large warehouses and industrial buildings. And why are they so popular? It's because their uses are virtually endless! Below, we've outlined a few popular applications for vertical roof barns:
Equipment Storage
Keeping your valuables and equipment safe is the whole name of the game! If a building can't protect your essential items safe from winds, rain, and water damage, it's not worth having. That's why our metal barns are among the most reliable options for protecting the things that matter the most.
Animal Shelter
These building types also make excellent animal shelters, keeping your furry friends safe from the heat and cold while still offering plenty of square footage for them to be comfortable. These buildings can also be customized with insulation, drywall, lighting, and composite floors for an added touch of comfort.
Business Offices
Our metal barns aren't just for residential use! With the ample available floor room, you have plenty of space to set up a smaller office space. The interior of these buildings can be finished out, making them indistinguishable from other wooden and brick building types. And with endless customization options, you can design an office that fits your exact needs, no matter the business or industry.
Workshops
In addition to the bevy of possible uses, workshops are an excellent function for your building. Take your relaxing pastime and give it its own space with a metal barn! Steel buildings are resistant to water and fire, making them great to house and use flammable tools and equipment. This makes metal buildings an excellent option for glassblowers, welders, and metal sculptors.
Agricultural Storage
Did you know that the majority of new agricultural buildings are constructed from steel? That's because they're strong, inexpensive, and can last for years! These metal buildings are a fantastic way to store larger farming equipment and crucial food supplies for your livestock.
Retail Establishments
Like the agricultural sector, metal buildings make up nearly 80% of all new commercial construction projects. And don't let the metal fool you; these buildings are ideally suited for retail stores and restaurants. They offer substantial square footage for inventory, kitchens, and displays – everything you'd need to run a commercial business. And the exterior is highly customizable, allowing you to design your building's aesthetics to match your business!
Popular Sizes for Vertical Roof Barns
When choosing your new metal barn, you'll want to first settle on a particular size. Our metal buildings can be built in many different sizes to suit your exact needs. Below, we've compiled a few of our popular size options:
42x36
A 42'x36' metal building is a perfect size for a horse barn. Equine enthusiasts will love the ample square footage that allows your horses to bed down, rest, and escape the harsh elements. And with metal buildings being so adaptable, you can easily add to your structure should you ever need to expand.
44x36
This size option is a little larger, offering a little more space than the previous size. The dimensions of this building make it great for storing cars and equipment. You can easily add several garage doors and transform this structure into a small automotive repair shop.
48x31
A little wider than it is long, this building size is an exceptional size for agricultural use. It has plenty of square footage for storing grain, keeping animals, or protecting larger equipment.
42x46
42’x46’ buildings are more square in terms of overall footprint. This building is large enough for both residential and commercial use. In fact, with a few finishing touches, you can quickly transform our metal buildings into a finished retail space.
42x30
With a bit of finishing work and customization, this building could function well as a greenhouse or indoor garden area. By adding translucent roofing panels, you can bring in the abundance of light your plants, fruits, and vegetables need.
Enhance Your Metal Barn with Endless Customization Choices!
Our metal barns provide many customization options, allowing you to tailor your new building to your exact specifications. You can adjust everything from the paneling colors to the trim and wainscoting! To give you a better idea of all the customization options available to you, we've listed a few of them below:
Size
Whether you’re purchasing a smaller garage or a large warehouse, you’ll need to know how big it needs to be in real-world dimensions. You’ll also want to be aware of how much interior space it provides. This is especially important if you intend to store large vehicles or equipment.
Color
Choosing a good color scheme can make all the difference between an ordinary metal building and something eye-catching. And with our large selection of paneling, trim, and roofing colors to choose from, you can ensure that your building stands out!
Wainscoting
Wainscoting is a fantastic way to inject a little bit of extra personality into any metal barn. It will allow you to add secondary colors and textures to your building for a splash of character. Choose between a wide variety of colors and choose one that works for you!
Paneling
This is what separates you from the elements. Paneling is an essential aspect of your new metal building. Our premium paneling is available in many colors and can be arranged vertically or horizontally, depending on aesthetic taste.
Windows and Doors
Your building needs windows and doors! Depending on your intended use, you may need several doors and windows of various types. Adding windows and doors will improve ventilation and allow plenty of natural light to shine through.
Gauges
The strength of your metal barn is dictated by the thickness of its steel. Our buildings are designed to be strong enough to exceed the wind, rain, and snow certification ratings in most states. However, depending on your region and the severity of your weather, you may need to choose thicker gauge steel with reinforcements.
Certifications
Metal buildings are produced to pass load-bearing certifications for wind, rain, snow, and even seismic loads. Facilities in areas that frequently experience severe weather will most likely require higher-level certifications.
The Benefits of Owning an A-Frame Vertical Roof Barn
Metal buildings with vertical roofs are some of the strongest construction methods available. They are:
Easily Built
Steel structures can be built in just days! They’re designed for fast, efficient installation, saving you the headaches typically found in many construction projects.
Cost-Effective
Vertical roof barns are some of the most inexpensive building types on the market, engineered to save you money before, during, and long after the installation is complete. Steel is a cheaper commodity than wood and is naturally resistant to water, rust, fire, and pests. This alone will save you enormous amounts of money over the life of your structure.
Durability
Not only are our structures cost-efficient, but they're also some of the most durable building types in the world. Steel is tough yet flexible enough to handle heavy storms, rains, snows, and even earthquakes.
Aesthetics
Your new metal barn isn’t just another ordinary building! You can design your building to meet any color scheme, and it can be customized with both modern and traditional touches to meet any aesthetic you choose.
Versatility
Not only are our buildings strong and long-lasting, but they can also function for almost any purpose under the sun! From residential carports to giant warehouses and commercial structures, these buildings can do it all!
Minimal Maintenance Requirements
Our barns require very little maintenance! They’re durable and naturally resistant to water, mold, mildew, and fire, making them a breeze to keep up year after year. With our buildings, you’ll save money each time you don’t have to replace panels or roofing shingles!
What to Consider Before Purchasing a Metal Barn
Prior to purchasing your new metal structure, there are several essential factors you'll need to consider to ensure a quick, streamlined installation process.
Installation Site and Building Permits
Your first step will be to contact your local building inspector to determine which permits you'll require. Once you’ve done this, you’ll want to inform our building specialist about the certifications mandated in your area.
Certified vs. non-certified
If you intend to install a building that’s larger than the equipment shed or in an area with severe weather, you will want to make sure your building is certified to handle it. Non-certified buildings are built with the same materials as certified models, but they are not guaranteed to withstand any inclement weather. Non-certified metal buildings are fine for calm regions with a moderate climate.
Preparing for Installation Day
Before installing your new metal building, there are numerous details you’ll want to cover to ensure a quick, safe installation process.
Choose your foundation type
Metal barns can be installed on several types of foundations. Many people will choose a concrete foundation for their building, but a dirt foundation may be a better option if you intend to use it for horses or livestock. Letting your building specialist know what foundation you have will help them pick the appropriate anchor type for your structure.
Plan Your Building Site
When undertaking any construction project, you'll want to choose a cleared, level, open tract that's easily accessible and correctly graded. You'll also need to make sure you have at least 3' of clearance on each side and that any debris or vegetation is clear from the building site.
Level Foundations
You'll want to make certain your installation site is level and properly graded. If you intend to use a concrete foundation, you'll also want to ensure that it has been fully cured before the installation day. If your build site is not level and fully cured when our installation crew arrives, it might require a reschedule, and additional labor fees may be charged. Furthermore, if your installation site is in a remote area or difficult to access, you may be charged additional fees.
Mark All Utility Lines
Taking the time to mark any exposed or underground utility lines might save a life! You'll need to clearly label all live electrical lines so that our installation crews can easily identify them. This keeps you and our workers safe!
Vertical Roof Barn Prices
Liberty Metal Structures has a huge selection of different building types and customization options that gives you the power to build your structure your way! However, it is vital to note that several factors may alter or raise the final price of your metal barn. Let's take a look at some of the common aspects that affect our pricing:
Material Costs
Raw steel can fluctuate wildly in price depending on demand, shipping costs, and even significant weather events. These factors can all conspire to increase the final cost of your structure.
Customization Options
Our buildings are engineered to be highly customizable. However, these custom options will affect your building's price tag. Increasing your building size, adding reinforcements, and installing premium doors and windows will all affect the overall cost of your structure.
Location
The location of your building site will have a tremendous influence on the final cost of your metal building. Regions that often experience severe weather will require more load certifications and structural reinforcements. This can affect the final price.
Terrain
The accessibility of your installation site will also play an integral part in your overall building price. Remote areas, like mountainous regions, will cost more to install.
