VersaTube pre-engineered steel buildings are affordable, and practical for so many building applications. From carports and covered walkways to RV covers and barns, they’re an excellent solution. But you may be wondering just what, exactly, makes steel such a good choice for your construction project.

So here you are. The top five advantages to building with steel!

1. Low Maintenance

You’re busy. You don’t want or need another thing to maintain. And with a high quality steel building from VersaTube, you won’t have one. Unlike with a wood building, with a steel building you don’t have to paint it every few years. Plus, there’s no termite control or mold to worry about, no warping or rotting, either.

2. Cheaper to Insure

Because they resist damage from storms, vermin, snow and other sources much better than traditional wood frame buildings, steel buildings typically cost much less to insure.

3. Easy to Remodel

Steel buildings - especially those from VersaTube, with our Slip-Fit Technology - are much easier to remodel than other buildings. If you have an old wood shed that’s just not big enough, you’re better off buying a second shed or scrapping the old one altogether and purchasing a larger model. But with a steel shed from VersaTube, you can actually make your existing shed longer, taller or both with our kits.

4. Environmentally Friendly

You might not realize it, but building with steel is an environmentally friendly choice. The milling process uses very little water and it doesn’t give off toxic fumes. Plus, once your building reaches the end of its life cycle (a long time from now!) you can actually recycle it!

5. Offers Energy Savings

Not everyone purchases a VersaTube building for a garage, shed or walkway. A lot of our customers have done some amazing things that require electricity and climate control - and that requires insulation. With a well-built pre-engineered steel building you can use high-grade insulation and achieve great energy savings.
