From the Quinault Rain Forest and the vast beauty of Olympic National Park to the coastal cities of Oregon, there’s enough breathtaking beauty courtesy of Mother Nature to convince nearly anyone they’d love to live there. If you live there, though, we’re sure you’re more than familiar with the rain. The phrase “when it rains, it pours” is an understatement for a healthy portion of the PNW. That presents a set of issues when it comes to structure longevity and construction.
If you’re from the PNW, you’re likely more than familiar with the vast water damage affecting hundreds of homes and businesses. It can cause all kinds of damage and even make a presumably safe structure dangerous to inhabit. In addition, the consistent rainfall can limit usable time on the job site when building and even cause premature damage or corrosion to your building materials if they’re left out in the elements. Though you’re likely well aware of the damage the PNW’s rain can bring to metal objects, a pre-fabricated metal building kit is the perfect solution for a long-lasting and resilient structure in the Pacific Northwest climate.
Moreover, a metal building is a phenomenal solution for Northwestern states that don’t share the Pacific coastline like Idaho’s snowy plains and mountain-laden regions.
Understandably, you might hesitate to spring for a metal building in one of the wettest climates in the U.S. Corrosion is certainly no joke and can be devastating to metal components. However, modern coating solutions like G90 Galvanized steel offer an effective layer of protection between your building materials and the elements. G90 Galvanized steel has a thick zinc coating that acts as a barrier to fend off corrosion of your building’s components. In addition, modern insulation solutions also help to prevent the accumulation of moisture in the structure to ensure the structure is safe from corrosion and degradation.
Metal structures offer an unprecedented amount of flexibility in their uses. Whether you’ve got a small clearing between trees on your property or a sprawling space to fit a warehouse or riding arena, the clear-span framing of a metal building allows the maximization of the building’s footprint. With no interior support columns interrupting the floor space, even a smaller metal building can offer a substantial amount of usable storage, shop, or commercial space. Whether you want to add a recreational or storage building to your private property or build a large retail or warehousing facility, a steel building is a blank canvas for virtually any discipline.
