re: Metal building homes in louisiana

I can tell you from experience Hurricane Laura flattened tons of metal buildings in Lake Charles.

If you do one do a steel frame commercial grade. The cheap pole barns are all gone in Hurricane Laura. Some steel frame buildings are gone too. Once the doors go the whole thing goes. So get commercial grade doors. The ones with living quarters did better bc I think the studs from the living quarters tightened the building up. Mine is rated for 140 mph winds and it survived with minimal damage. My 2 neighbors both lost their steel frame buildings but neither of them had living quarters. My neighbor said his 16 ft roll up doors were flapping like flags in the wind until the whole building went.
