Prefabricated Steel Shop & Insulation in Dolores, Colorado
Metal Building Outlet sent the building kit and insulation for this custom pre-engineered metal shop to Dolores, Colorado, in July of 2025.
Offering 3,600 square feet of space, the versatile, well-appointed shop building has a single-slope roof that helps rain and snow slide off easily and a high R-value insulation system that boosts interior comfort and thermal performance. The roof houses an R-38 double-layer insulation system, while the walls hold 6” of R-19 insulation, which, in addition to lowering energy bills, helps muffle noise and control condensation.
On the outside, a painted exterior and 4’ of wainscoting boost curb appeal, while a walk door and garage door offer easy access in and out. Durable, spacious and easy to erect and maintain, this prefabricated steel shop is perfect for storing goods, completing tasks and holding up to heavy foot traffic and usage.
