Frequently asked questions

Can I erect a steel building myself?
Yes, depending on the size and specific design of your building it can be erected with the correct tools and 3 to 4 people. The Shed Company recommends that their buildings be erected by a trained professional which we can supply. Talk to your sales rep regarding factory warranties as some material suppliers will not warranty materials not installed by trained professionals.

Typically a building kit can be fabricated, shipped and erected in 3 to 4 weeks.
Can a steel building be expanded?
