Manufacturer gives 5% off. I’m giving additional 5% (California ONLY) Discounts apply to all buildings, all sizes. Many colors available. Some areas may require extra bracing and anchors pending on local building codes Listings are always the main photos. All others are available options. Examples of what you can do. Please message us for a quote. We need to know your zip code, will it be anchored to dirt, asphalt or concrete and what are your size requirements. Standard widths are 12, 18, 20, 22, 24 and up. Standard widths are 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 etc. Standard height can vary due to location but most start at 6 feet on the sides which will accommodate most standard vehicles. We’ve been selling steel structures for over 20 years and cover most parts of the continental US. Prices vary due to building codes. Some locations require extra strength for heavy snow loads and some to meet hurricane codes. We also sell for all the manufacturers in the US so when you give your zip code and size requirements, we’ll find the best fit for your needs. Some manufacturers are great in some areas and yet I wouldn’t use them in others. 20 plus years of experience teaches us who the best is, who the cheapest is and who should be avoided. Save yourself some time by not checking with every source on the Internet. Most dealers only sell for one or two manufacturers. We sell for over 40 nationwide and will offer the best price for any structure. Manufacturers don’t sell to the public but through a Network of dealers. We can’t change the prices…the manufacturers set them. Where you’ll find cheaper pricing is where people cut corners by selling a product that may not meet your current building codes. In that event code enforcement can and will force you to take it down or pay steep fines so deal with someone that understands the building industry.
