Roof-Only Prefabricated Metal Shop Building in Mimbres, New Mexico
Metal Building Outlet sent the building kit for this pre-engineered metal shop to Mimbres, New Mexico, in late August of 2024.
Durable and easy to raise, the roof-only metal shop has 2,400 square feet of covered, unobstructed floor space ideal for finishing tasks, completing work or shielding tools, vehicles or other assets from the elements. The shop’s open-air design creates an airy, well-ventilated environment, making it ideal for automotive or equipment maintenance or similar tasks.
The building has 1’ overhangs along all four sides that help prevent moisture from making its way into the shop, and it also complies with the wind and snow load requirements dictated by local building codes and the 2021 International Building Code. Metal Building Outlet also included a New Mexico engineer-stamped foundation plan along with the building components to give the metal shop a strong, stable foundation.
Well-suited for working on cars and trucks, storing equipment for work or hobbies, or serving as a covered, all-season workspace, this prefabricated metal shop building represents an affordable, sustainable alternative to traditional shops made of wood or other less-resilient materials.
