Prefab Commercial Steel Building in Rico, Colorado
Metal Building Outlet supplied this pre-engineered commercial steel building in Rico, Colorado, in April of 2015.
Attractive, spacious and versatile, the metal building now functions as the Rustic Aspen Furniture store and has ample curb appeal thanks to a Saddle Tan exterior, Rustic Red architectural trim and 4’ of stone wainscoting. Durable and low-maintenance, the furniture store has a clear span that creates an open, column-free interior and maximizes space for furniture and staging.
Engineered for the variable climate characteristics of southwestern Colorado, this steel commercial building complies with all local building codes and stands strong in the face of heavy snowfall, extreme temperatures and other hazards associated with life in the region.
