They are relatively easy to repair should they be damaged by cattle or a tractor. Metal buildings can provide storage for crops until they go to market, can provide a safe home for farm animals, serve as a shop for tools and maintenance work, or even provide offices for employees to use.
Government and Public Buildings
Steel buildings are capable of extending over wide, open spaces without columns or internal support, or can be divided into smaller rooms as needed. Along with budget pricing often required for community centers and local government buildings, steel building often provide the best designs according to the building's specific needs.
Warehouses and Factories

Whether storing product or holding production machinery, a steel building allows for regular doors for employees and loading bay doors for trucks. The can be insulated, heated, and air-conditioned as needed. They provide a large open space for the building's primary function, but can also host smaller rooms as needed for offices or product display areas.
