Steel Building in Fort Lupton, Colorado
Metal Building Outlet delivered this metal building to a client in Fort Lupton, Colorado, in January 2023, and it now serves agricultural purposes.
The metal farm building has a wide clear span and high ceilings that create plenty of space for growing plants or storing agricultural equipment, and a hardy Galvalume gable roof sits overhead, providing reliable protection from the Colorado elements. The steel agricultural building has customizations throughout, including insulation blankets installed in its roof and walls.
The roof of the building contains R-19 fiberglass insulation, while 4” of R-13 insulation line the walls. The insulation blankets have rugged WMP-VRR+ facing on the interior-facing side, which helps protect the blankets from damage while controlling condensation.
