The article describe briefly the advantages of steel buildings which can be constructed in the short period of time. Arch buildings are safe and secure in any climatic conditions as it consist Galvalume Plus coating coating to protect and customise inner and outer-side of building.

Stepping into the 30 foot by 30 foot steel building owned by Preston Wells III is like taking a step back in time. The space serves as a personal museum which houses his collection of farm antiques and early Americana that he has repaired and restored as a hobby for most of his life.

His pride and joy is his grandfather’s 1932 Case tractor which was used to farm the family’s 1,300 acres of land in St. Cloud, FL for many years.

“I was raised in the citrus and cattle business on land that has been in my family for six generations,” says Wells. “Farming is what we do, and I learned to drive a tractor well before I learned to drive a car. I appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that went into creating the many antiques that I own.”

While Wells already had a machine shop/mechanic building on his property, it was in February of 2009 that he decided to build a museum for showcasing the antiques that he didn’t want to part with, including his grandfather’s tractor, a 1937 Harley Davidson WL 45, and a 1923 Ford Model T.

“St. Cloud is located in hurricane country, so I had to have an affordable building that was incredibly strong and could withstand the kinds of storms that blow through here,” says Wells. “I did a search on the Internet and found SteelMaster Buildings.”

For more than 28 years, SteelMaster Buildings, which is located in Virginia Beach, VA, has designed and produced steel and metal pre-engineered arch buildings for a broad range of residential and commercial applications.

“SteelMaster buildings have been used by all types of hobby enthusiasts including wood workers, metal shop owners, classic car professionals, as well as numerous types of businesses around the globe,” says Michelle Wickum, the director of marketing for the company. “Our building is the perfect place for Mr. Wells to house his valuable antiques because it is completely resistant to fire and hurricane-force winds. Rust isn’t a factor either because we use a Galvalume Plus coating on all of our buildings as well as top-of-the-line steel that is made through complex chemistry. Our customers are working with 100 percent useable space because of the arch design, so they have the flexibility to truly customize the inside of their building, which can include hanging lighting, running conduit, building shelving, adding a loft, insulating and/or heating/cooling the environment—the sky is the limit.”

Wells says he was able to construct the building himself in a short period of time with the help of family and friends and couldn’t be happier with his decision to build a steel building as his museum. “I’ve invested a lot of time and energy into restoring what is in that museum, and there are many memories associated with all of the pieces that I cherish,” says Wells. “Knowing that everything is safe and secure in my SteelMaster building means a lot to me, and I have enough room to add to my collection in the future.”

With more than 40,000 satisfied customers, including buildings located in every state in the United States, on six continents, and in more than 40 overseas countries, SteelMaster takes pride in knowing its steel buildings have earned the favor of people like Martinez.

SteelMaster’s steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including Garages, Workshops, Carports, Quonsets, Airplane Hangars, RV Storage, Military Buildings, Commercial Warehousing, and Industrial Storage as well as a wide variety of Custom Building applications including Athletic Facilities, Retail Stores, Churches, Bus Stops, Smoke Shacks, Doggie Dorms, and Correctional Facilities.
