Accurate Measurements For Prefab Sheds

What measurements matter most of all in a shed? The available interior space is the most important, but that’s not always what’s advertised. Sometimes, you’ll find what’s known as “nominal size” being shown rather than actual size of steel building. This is a common way in which a shed’s dimensions are overstated, potentially leaving you with far less room than you need.

Nominal size is the length and width between the most distant spans of the roof, while the actual size is the length and width of the interior corners. Remember, you’ll always need the corner-to-corner size rather than the eave-to-eave size when determining how much room you’ll have because the roof of a shed often protrudes outside of the shed’s corners.

High-Grade Steel For Sheds

 

Thin and flimsy steel is used far too often in metal sheds. If you’re going to invest in a prefab shed, you’ll need one that can withstand the elements. That means having a roof that can withstand snow, and walls that can withstand high-speed winds. If you use flimsy, low-grade metal for construction, the shed could topple when faced with serious stress. Instead, opt for 22-gauge steel or thicker to ensure the structural durability of the shed.

Twenty-two-gauge steel is the minimum requirement for a hardy shed, but that’s just the beginning. If you live in a particularly troublesome area that could be subject to heavy snows or hurricanes, you may want something even stronger. Regardless of your area, however, commercial-grade steel is always a necessity. Not only can it hold up against the elements, but it offers long-term quality and reliability that other materials can’t match.

Prefab Sheds With Arch Design

Sheds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but if you want to get the most out of your building, there’s nothing quite like the arch design. Steel-arch buildings are known for their durability when it comes to protecting against outside elements, but they also offer interior benefits that let you get the most out of every inch of your building.

When you get a storage shed that implements the arch design, you don’t have to deal with interior trusses or overhead obstructions. Instead, you’ll have free rein to make use of all the interior space of your shed. This is particularly useful if you’re trying to ease your budget by getting a small shed or you’re planning on stacking toolboxes or any materials necessary for a workstation.

    When I was looking for a smaller steel garage/port, I was extremely fortunate to have a salesman named Jude Cassimy help me with that I was looking for. He showed me exactly what I wanted and gave me quotes very quickly. Jude had great communication and was extremely thorough in trying to help me. Although I decided to go a different direction, Jude continued to have great service and provided support with questions. Metal Pro Buildings clearly has a high standard when it comes to business and customer service. Thank you!

  • We were very satisfied customers with very quick turn around with our multiple scenario quotes for a project at the Toronto Cricket Club. Jude Cassimy in sales answered all calls, gave sound advice, and knew local by laws and engineering aspects to help us make an informed decision. I would certainly recommend Metal Pro from my experience. Steve Pataki Director of Facilities, Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club
