Metal Buildings

Video games. iPads. Cell phones. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram

Whatever happened to riding bikes? To days spent playing tag? Hopscotch? Chasing lightning bugs as the sun went down? Laying in the backyard, finding shapes in the clouds?

Today’s kids, well, too many of them are indoors way too much. Goodness knows there are a lot of reason why. But when you remember your childhood, chances are many of your best memories are of days spent outside.

Jumping off the dock at the lake. Swimming at the local pool. Climbing the neighbor’s tree. Packing a picnic lunch and eating outside.

That last one - that’s a biggie. Lunches outside. Sometimes, if you were really lucky, you even got to eat outside at school. Those were really special days, filled with good memories.

Today, it’s easier to recreate than you might think.

A pre-engineered steel single slope shelter from VersaTube makes it possible - and comfortable. (After all, we’re a little older now. And we appreciate that shade.)

Single slope shelters can easily be installed at your workplace to provide a comfortable, shaded lunch and break space. Many people choose to place them over concrete pads, but they work just as well over gravel, asphalt or other surfaces. Add some picnic tables, and you can start recreating those outdoor lunches you loved in your younger years in no time. (We say “in no time,” because in just 2 weeks you could have the kit at your door, and most kits take only a couple of days to construct!)

Once you have the single slope shelter, you don’t have to stop there! Use it for meetings - everyone works better with a little fresh air once in a while. Use it for special events - how about a BBQ for the team? The options are limitless, really.

So go ahead Let your imagination run a little wild - just like it did when you were a kid.
