Prefabricated Steel Commercial Shop in Beaufort, North Carolina
Metal Building Outlet sent the building kit for this state-of-the-art steel commercial shop building to a pier- and dock-building company in Beaufort, North Carolina, in May 2024.
Designed for its coastal location and climate, the building has a high wind rating and attaches to an existing building already on the property, creating a single, unified place to store materials and conduct business. A valley gutter covers the spot where the two roofs meet, helping prevent water from seeping through, and gutters and downspouts along the shop’s roofline further encourage proper drainage.
The metal shop addition’s exterior features striking Old Town Gray paint and complementing Cool White trim, resulting in a professional appearance that blends well with the surrounding seaside landscape. The commercial building also has wind-rated walk doors and several overhead garage doors that make it easily accessible and easy to move supplies in and out.
Durable, functional and easy to adapt to meet the business’s changing needs, this prefabricated steel commercial building is a smart choice for an enterprise operating in a coastal environment.
