Commercial Steel Building in Durango, Colorado

Metal Building Outlet supplied this pre-engineered commercial steel building in Durango, Colorado, in January of 2020.

Intended for use as an auto dealership, the expansive, highly durable space has a clear-span design, making it easy to store and move vehicles in and out. Constructed using rugged, sustainable steel components, the metal auto dealership offers optimum protection for cars, and it also provides space for administrative offices, restrooms and storage.

Durango has strict building codes and ordinances in place on account of the variable weather it experiences and the heavy snowfall it typically sees during the winter. Thus, a 115-mph wind speed rating and a high, 65-pound snow load are additional project characteristics.

Prefabricated buildings such as this one make great automotive buildings due to their low-maintenance nature and low costs of construction. This particular steel auto dealership is also well-adapted for its environment, giving the owner confidence in the investment.

Located in southwestern Colorado, the city of Durango is part of La Plata County. Durango lies about 60 miles east of Pagosa Springs, not far from the Colorado-New Mexico border.
