VersaTube Steel Horse Barn

So you need a pole barn and think that wood is the way to go? Who can blame you – there’s nothing quite like the sound of hammers hitting nails, the buzzing of circular saws and sawdust in the air to make one feel like an early pioneer out building their own cabin. And those boring weekends spent at the beach or on the golf course will finally be a thing of the past – you’ll be able to spend your spare time and money maintaining your wood building. You do know that right? A wood building requires regular upkeep or it could soon look like one of those quaint abandoned barns and sheds seen dotting the countryside. You know – the ones with the peeling paint and missing boards.

Of course, you could get the same sensation of building something with your own hands, but have your weekends free when the job is complete. The solution is quite simple: choose one of VersaTube’s many metal building kits. We offer numerous style options for our steel buildings and they’re all DIY-friendly. The components are all pre-engineered and sized so you may not hear any circular saws during the erection and definitely aren’t going to see any sawdust, but you’ll still be able to hone your DIY skills with wrenches and drills.

And if you need a special configuration for your pole barn, forget about meetings with architects and worrying about complying with local building codes. VersaTube welcomes custom designs and their in-house engineers make sure the building works. All their steel buildings meet local and state building codes. A few other advantages when you choose a metal building instead of wood:

• Moisture resistance – What do you get when you combine water and wood? If it’s not protected by paint, stain, or sealant, your wood building may soon decay. VersaTube’s metal building kits feature galvanized components designed to be rust free and their panels have three clear coats for the ultimate in protection.
• Insect free – If you want to keep the termites in your neighborhood full and happy, go ahead and install that wood pole barn – they love a good meal. There aren’t too many insects that like to eat steel, and if you find any, worrying about your metal building might be the least of your problems.
• Modern appearance – While the look of raw wood studs and structural components might be attractive to some people, most prefer the clean modern interior appearance you get with steel buildings. As an added bonus, you won’t have to worry about splinters.

Wood buildings are an important part of the past, but if you want to move into the future, enjoy the low-maintenance advantages of metal building kits from VersaTube.
