Metal Building in Hilo, Hawaii

Metal Building Outlet sourced this prefabricated metal building for a customer in Hilo, Hawaii, in October of 2020.

Featuring rugged, quality steel construction, the building currently functions as a shelter, giving users a covered escape from Hilo’s wet climate and considerable rainfall. When raised, the steel structure is 100’x100’x35’ in size, boasting high overhead clearance and a broad clear span that eliminates the need for interior supports.

The metal shelter’s roof is comprised of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Galvalume steel paneling and has a slight 2:12 pitch, providing a solid, reliable layer of protection from the sometimes-relentless rain this side of the Big Island receives. A 105-mph wind speed rating is another climate-related feature that keeps the steel shelter compliant with building and engineering code requirements in place across Hilo.

The largest community in Hawaii County, the town of Hilo overlooks Hilo Bay, at the base of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. It sits about 76 miles from Kailua Kona; about 12 miles south of Honomu.
