Prefabricated Steel Automotive Storage Building in Morehead City, North Carolina
Metal Building Outlet sent this pre-engineered metal storage building to Morehead City, North Carolina, in March 2024. Used to house car parts and engineered for its coastal environment, the building has a heavy wind load and wind-rated walk doors that offer superior protection from the area’s strong gusts.
Designed to attach to an existing building already on the property via its left end and back side walls, this building addition streamlines automotive business operations, making it easier for employees to access the car parts they need when they need them. Key features include a spandrel beam that adds extra support and stability to the back side wall and gutters and downspouts that divert the area’s heavy rainfall away from the steel building’s exterior walls and foundation.
The automotive storage building’s clear span interior and high, 18’ ceilings maximize usable storage space, while its rugged steel construction provides reliable protection for the auto parts and other business assets kept inside.
