Metal Building Outlet supplied this pre-engineered metal building for a buyer in Longmont, Colorado, in early January of 2016.
Designed with extreme energy efficiency in mind, the building is constructed using premium-grade steel components. It stands 50’x80’x12’ in size and has a 3’ open masonry perimeter.

Inside the building are (4) commercial walk doors with accompanying levers, and it also boasts high R-value, R-40 insulation in the roof and R-25 insulation within its walls. The insulation was included to reduce energy expenditures associated with the building given the often cold temperatures experienced through Longmont and the surrounding region. High wind speeds and snow loads of 140 mph and 30 lbs., respectively, were also included during construction due to the heavy snowfall and variable weather patterns common in the area.
