Prefabricated Steel Personal Shop Building in Olathe, Colorado
A resident of Olathe, Colorado, wanted to customize a steel building to use as a personal shop and ordered this prefabricated steel shop building from Metal Building Outlet in October 2024.
Boasting 2,400 square feet of flexible interior space ideal for performing work, completing tasks or storing vehicles, tools or large equipment, the building offers unmatched strength and durability, creating a safe, reliable space the owner can utilize during all four Colorado seasons. Equal parts practical and attractive, the steel personal shop has Solar White exterior walls with contrasting Black architectural trim, giving it a clean, contemporary look that boosts the appeal of the entire property.
Multiple door openings in several sizes make the shop and everything stored inside easy to access, while a hardy, corrosion-resistant roof sits overhead, providing protection from the elements. The metal shop also boasts four 4’x4’ windows that let in in plenty of natural light while reducing reliance on artificial heating systems during colder months.
A 1-psf collateral load in the roof is an additional building customization, allowing for the suspension of HVAC systems or similar equipment from the ceiling. Durable, spacious and multifunctional, this personal shop building meets the owner’s needs while requiring little more than an occasional power-wash to maintain its exterior appeal.
