Metal Buildings

Where you located? Majestic Metals in Gonzales are good to deal with.

try inland buildings, we buy five to six buildings a year from them and they are usually same day response with detailed quote

I'd love to have a property with a good 30x50-40x50 on that beotch. That would be sweet. Put a camper in it, store shite, use it as a getaway, hurricane evac etc.

Cool thing is this one goes in my
backyard- I didn't drink the Koolaid and move into the adjacent golf course- but found a couple acres down the road. Area is still nice and no HOA

Remember this is Post Frame construction... so the posts have to be in before the slab is poured.

When Mallet puts the buildings up they put up all the posts and skirt boards around the bottom. They install the aircraft cables from post to post then pour the slab.

After the slab is poured the put on the sides and the roof.

I told them I was pouring my own slab so they gave me all the aircraft cable and a diagram. I installed those myself and poured the slab through the 2 roll up doors.
On a 30 x 40 shop it wasnt too bad. The concrete truck chutes reached a lot of the area.

I have basically begged Ideal Steel to quote what I want

Whom did you speak with? Where you located?

They have 3 people from your hometown and you calling people 3 hours away?

What that cost?

My building is a 30' x 40' with the Premium Package
Premium package adds skirt board protectors, post protectors, 50 year treated wood, choice of colored metal, rat guard around the bottom, and fascia around the top.

I added 12' eave height (10' is standard)
I added an additional 8' rollup door on the side. (standard is 1 x 10' rollup door and 1 walk in door)

Total cost was around $10,700.
I poured the concrete for around $2,200

They wanted $15,900 for them to do it all so I saved about $3,000 pouring my own concrete.

My wife's cousin had a building from somewhere out of town put up in Lockport. They delivered the building one day and put it up one day about 5 months later, they weren't to happy. I'll see it who it is for you.

My house already has a shop with an RV pad that I'd like to cover. Since I already have the slab what would I do? Thought about a metal pole barn type deal.
