Tips for Securing your Metal Building

Metal buildings are strong and sturdy, as long as they are properly installed. Whether or not you live in an area prone to tornadoes or severe weather, securing your metal outbuilding is very important. Whatever type of metal building you own, a storage shed building, garage, carport, barn, etc. there are some easy tips to help keep it secure in severe weather. 

• Start with a Solid Foundation. It’s so important it’s become a well-known adage: a structure built on a solid foundation will stand strong. The same applies to your metal storage shed building. Concrete provides a solid foundation for metal buildings and is one of the most common floor types. It’s ideal for parking vehicles and basic storage and can also be coated with a protective layer for easy cleanup. 

• Be Sure your Building is Properly Anchored. With a concrete foundation, your building can be anchored solidly with bolts that screw directly into the concrete. The security of your building depends on two pieces, the quality of the concrete and the quality of the anchor bolts. This is where it really pays to have a skilled team install your concrete and the building itself. 

• Purchase a Quality Building. Another key element to having a secure storage shed building is the quality of the building and the materials from which it’s made. A solid foundation and strong anchor bolts won’t help if the building itself comes apart at the seams. Vega Metal Structures manufactures quality metal buildings and pours solid concrete foundations so that you can be sure your building will stand strong. 

• Choose a Good Location on your Property. At the risk of sounding like a real estate agent, location is everything. Take the time to choose the right spot for your metal building on your property. Trees actually offer a lot of benefits, such as blocking wind, absorbing water, and providing shade. As long as the trees are healthy and sturdy, installing your storage shed building near or under trees can be extremely helpful. Just be sure to keep branches trimmed back from encroaching on the building and causing damage. Also be sure to install your building on a high spot where the ground slopes away from your building for water runoff.
