Metal Building for Camp
Posted on 4/4/16 at 10:24 pm
Posted on 4/4/16 at 10:24 pm
Would anyone who's built out the interior of a steel framed metal building share their experience with it? Looking at all options for building a 1500 sq/ft camp on pilings. Wondering if the steel building route is cheaper or about the same in the end. Also, are there any moisture/mold issues you have to worry about?

Land based camp off of paved road. But I guess everything south of Houma could be considered marsh, so yes. :-)

I wonder how fast the saltwater will rust out the building

I've been wanting to do this for a house.
There is a great example on rosedale road halfway between Rosedale and Port Allen.

I know a family who did this and built out the interior themselves. From what he told me, it goes together fairly simply but you'll need willing help.
Not sure on exact cost, but I think it was considerably cheaper.

Cousin built one just north of Cameron / Grand Chenier. When he had the shell up he sprayed the entire interior with Isonene insulation. some walls he left and painted, some he covered with hardy board and painted that. Been up on the pilings 3 years and from what he tells me it shows no signs of exterior pitting or rust. I know its early yet but I've seen salt/brackish water work pretty quick. He is having some surface rust on the seams of his water tank though.

Personally I havent done this but have designed many a metal building that was turned into living space. Its rather simple really. Erect the metal building and finish it out on the inside with your stud walls against the perlins. Box out around the metal beams and throw up a ceiling. Whaalaa

As long as you do a typical construction for this, no issues should arise.

See post above. Right before you get to 413 coming from rosedale.
Nice place.
Always wanma stop and ask the guy who he had build it, but I never see him outside without his kids.

From what I found looking into it you aren't saving any cost doing this.
Posted on 4/5/16 at 12:26 pm to FelicianaTigerfan
The savings are long term.
40 years of effectively zero maintenance, energy efficient if spray foamed, cheaper if you want large vaulted living spaces, and effectively hurricane proof unless a tornado touches it.

Good a place to ask as any.
What do y'all think of pole barns vs metal frame for a backyard shop? No saltwater involved

Unless you need to park large equipment in it, go metal. It's basically the same price for small shops. I've got a 20x40 that I filled with four wheelers and mowers and golf carts...and then I had no where to work.
Built a second cheaper one for all the crap.
Always go twice as big as you think you need.
