Good Regular
Curved-eave arched roof · horizontal panels
The factory-standard roof: rounded eaves and panels that run front to back. Economical cover when you want shade and rain protection without a gable peak.
Metal buildings
Metal storage buildings
A metal storage building is an enclosed American-steel box whose job is inventory, equipment, and household overflow — not necessarily a daily-driver parking stall. Same 14-gauge frames, 29-gauge sheeting, and three roofs as our garages, scaled from a backyard unit to commercial length. Delivery and professional installation are free on a level site.
Roll-ups go on any wall so you can stage product. Walk-ins for people so you are not opening a 10-foot door for a toolbox. Horizontal siding is the factory look; vertical siding is the upgrade. Roof and walls pick from twelve colors independently.
Installation available in most states. Kits available. Steel does not rot the way a wood storage barn does. A deposit holds the order; the balance is due at delivery.

Roof styles
Good, better, best — three roofs
Vertical is the durable choice when you are storing hay, inventory, or anything that hates a leak.
Good Better A-frame
Boxed-eave gable · horizontal panels
A classic peaked roof with boxed eaves. Horizontal panels stay the factory look; the A-frame sheds water better than a Regular arch.
Best Vertical
A-frame boxed-eave · vertical panels
The same A-frame shape with panels that run peak to eave. Rain and snow travel off the roof instead of across seams — the most durable roof we sell. Required in the designer when length is over 36 feet.
Designer rule: if length is greater than 36 feet, Vertical is required so the roof can shed water on a long run.
Walls and siding
Enclosed box, doors sized to the inventory
Specify the building around the largest thing you store. Windows are optional — many storage customers skip them for security.
Open sides
Open only if you want a covered staging yard. Most storage buildings stay enclosed.
Top half-walls
Sheeting on the upper half of each side. Shade and wind break up high while the lower opening stays clear.
Bottom half-walls
Sheeting on the lower half. Blocks splash, debris, and low wind while the top stays open for light and air.
Fully enclosed
Full enclosure with roll-ups sized to boats, pallets, or trailers. Lean-tos add covered overflow.
Horizontal siding (factory standard)
Panels run front to back, matching a Regular or A-frame horizontal roof. This is the default orientation in the factory and the lowest-cost wall look.
Vertical siding (upgrade)
Panels run bottom to top. Pair with a Vertical roof for a continuous “stripes down” building, or mix it on walls only. Vertical sheeting sheds water at the laps instead of across them.
Ends: open, gable, or closed
The front and back are independent of the sides. Leave them open for drive-through, add a gable (peak filled, opening below), or close them fully and put a roll-up on the front.
Doors and windows
Walk-in doors, roll-up garage doors, and windows go on enclosed sides and ends. Adding a door in the designer will close that wall automatically so the opening has something to sit in.
Colors
Twelve colors, roof and walls
Pick a roof color and a wall color independently in the designer. Names vary slightly by plant (for example Patriot Red vs. Barn Red) — the swatch is the same twelve codes. Request color samples if you want chips in hand.

From the shop
What these options look like on a real building
Photos overlap garage and commercial catalogs — a storage building is often that same shell with a door package aimed at inventory.
Why a storage building
What people put in them
Household overflow
Seasonal gear and garage overflow when a shed is too small and a parking garage is the wrong door package.
Boats, ATVs, trailers
Door width and leg height first. Dual ends for drive-through if you tow through the building.
Contractor inventory
Lockable, clear span, roll-up sized to the truck. See commercial if customers walk in.
Farm parts and feed
Keep it dry. Vertical roof in snow country. Chemicals want a lock and a certified package if the county asks.
Archive and records
Skip extra windows. Plan insulation and HVAC yourself if the contents are climate-sensitive.
Home gym or backup shop
Same shell as a workshop, specified around storage until you are ready to add power and a lift.
Backyard-small? See metal sheds. Vehicles first? See metal garages. Warehouse occupancy? See commercial metal buildings. Roof only? See carports.

Metal storage building questions
What is a metal storage building?
An enclosed steel building specified for things, not necessarily for commuting cars. Same Carport.com system as a garage: 14-gauge American frame, 29-gauge panels, three roofs, openings on any wall — laid out around inventory, boats, or equipment.
Storage building vs. garage?
A garage is optimized for vehicles and a residential door. A storage building uses the same shell when pallets, parts, or a boat are the primary contents. Overlap is normal; choose based on door size and whether you need a driveway-facing bay.
Storage vs. shed?
Sheds are compact backyard units. Storage buildings run up through garage and commercial footprints. If you are storing a household of bins, start shed; if you are storing a business, start here or on commercial.
Can it be commercial-sized?
Yes. This catalog includes long enclosed buildings. For occupancy, storefronts, or warehouse traffic, also see commercial metal buildings. Certified packages are available.
What about moisture and rust?
Galvanized frames and painted 29-gauge panels are the standard. Keep the building anchored and the roof Vertical in snow country. We do not claim a conditioned warehouse unless you add insulation and HVAC after install.
Is installation included?
Free delivery and professional installation on a level site, with installation available in most states. Deposit; balance at delivery. Kits if you assemble.
Can I get a storage building kit?
Yes. Same materials. Required if the pad is not level enough for our crew.
