Metal Buildings: The Modern Livestock Building Alternative

Farm and ranch owners in need of livestock buildings have found a more durable and more economical solution than the traditional red wood barn.  That solution is a metal building (also known as a pole barn).

Metal buildings are versatile replacements for traditional wood structures.  They are often used as maternity barns and for young livestock because they are easy to insulate, ventilate, and maintain.

Farmers also like metal buildings because they can be much less expensive, both to construct and to keep up over time.

Metal buildings can save a farmer a good chunk of money.  That is because they are primarily constructed in a factory setting where efficient processes have been developed over time that reduce waste and materials costs.

When you are ready to construct your metal building, it arrives on your building site with all the pieces ready-made to fit together.  This alone can save you a considerable amount of labor cost and construction time.

Like a traditional wood structure, your metal building can be insulated and ventilated to provide a safe, sanitary, and climate-controlled facility for your livestock.  Many metal building companies even offer designs and colors that can be customized to your preferences.

Unlike a wood barn, a metal building is not prone to termites, rot, or decay, which can save you on long-term upkeep.  It is also healthier for your livestock that can be affected by the toxins in pesticides.

If you are considering building a new livestock facility on your property, give us a call today at 979-637-9892 to learn more about the options that we offer to suit your needs.

 

 

Create Your Man Cave in a Metal Building

Are you tired of fighting with plastic tarps to free your lawnmower?  Do you wish that you had a safe place, out of the elements to store your outdoor equipment and farm supplies?  How about a comfy place to hang out with all the comforts of home?

If so, a metal building may be just what you need. Today’s modern designs can even be equipped with an overhang for those sunny days when you want to be outside. Even better, you don’t have to be a construction pro to have a metal building – you don’t even have to hold a saw!

Your metal building can be quickly and easily constructed on your property in a matter of days, not the months that a stick-built would take.

And, since a metal building is a much more economical choice, you’ll have enough money left over to buy that big screen t.v. you’ve always dreamed of!

While a metal building will typically save you a bundle on construction costs, that doesn’t mean that your quality will suffer.  Metal building manufacturers like <J4?> will provide you with a state of the art facility that you will enjoy for years to come.

Money isn’t the only thing you will save when you purchase a metal building.  You will also save time.  Imagine owning a building that you never have to paint; never have to repair a shingle on, and never have to treat for pesticides?

For those who own a metal building, this isn’t just a dream, it is reality.  If you are in the market for a new barn, outbuilding, shop, or man cave, give us a call today to learn how we can make your dream building come true.

3 Reasons Metal Buildings are Superior to Traditional Wood Structures

While your first inclination may be to build a traditional wood structure for your barn or business, there are three main reasons why that may be the wrong choice.
Metal Buildings are the Economical Choice

First, metal buildings (also known as steel buildings) can save you a good bit of money during the construction process.  Because metal buildings are mostly constructed on an assembly line, both the materials used and the labor involved can be efficiently controlled, thus helping you eliminate both wasted man hours and wasted materials.

Traditional wood buildings, on the other hand, require extra materials to account for waste and extra labor to account for measuring and cutting the wood to size.

Steel building materials are also typically lighter weight and easier to handle than wood, once again helping the construction process to move more quickly and reducing the time spent by your construction crew.
Metal Buildings are the Durable Choice

In traditional wood buildings, the wood framing is susceptible to shrinkage, splitting, warping, fire, and even termites.  But, with a metal building, none of these concerns are an issue.  Steel doesn’t shrink, split, or warp, and is proven to be fire resistant.  And, unlike wood, it is not a tempting meal for termites.

Perhaps even more importantly, steel buildings are superior to traditional wood structures when it comes to seismic activity.  Unlike wood, steel can sway and even bend where wood will break, split, and collapse.

Metal Buildings are the Green Choice

A tremendous amount of energy and natural resources goes into producing the wood used for construction projects.  However, steel is often made from recycled materials and uses a minimal amount of natural resources in the process.  Plus, because steel is resistant to termite damage, there is no need for harmful, termite-killing poisons to be sprayed yearly.

These are just a few of the reasons why choosing a metal building over a traditional wood structure may be a better choice for your next project. For more information on how J4 Building Solutions can hel you with your Metal Building designs, call us today at Phone: 979-637-9892.

BARN BUILDING KITS vs Metal Barns in Texas

TEXAS BARN BUILDING KITS

A third alternative represents a hybrid between the cost of a restored barn and the less expensive barndominiums.  This approach provides all that landowners need to build their own barn homes. Texas Barn Homes from a kit can be built in various styles, including classic barn-style homes, farmhouses, waterfront cottages and mountain lodges.

Because these are pre-designed and manufactured this approach reduces the cost of building a custom frame home.  These are available in a wide range of sizes and styles; and most can be customized to meet specific needs. J4 alternative provides a custom approach and plans for review and can deliver everything a landowner needs to build a barn home, garage, shed or other structure

Some J4 Metal Barns feature living quarters on the second floor with room for your cars, weekend toys, or additional bedrooms on the ground level. The designs are flexible to your preferences. Customers often have these structures built to be used as vacation or guest houses. Some resemble barns, while others are designed to look like Victorian Carriage Houses.
