Prefabricated Steel Commercial Building in Durango, Colorado
When the owner of a Durango, Colorado landscaping and lawn services business needed more space to house business assets and operations, he contacted Metal Building Outlet, which sent the kit for this spacious and versatile metal commercial building to the southwestern Colorado community in March of 2025.
Great for housing tools, vehicles and lawn care and snow removal equipment, among other items, this pre-engineered steel commercial building boasts 7,200 square feet of unobstructed interior space and offers reliable protection from the Colorado elements. Custom-designed to meet the owner’s needs and the building code requirements in place in the city, the commercial building has high wind and snow loads and a custom Energy Saver insulation package lining its roof and walls.
The insulation helps the building maintain a comfortable interior throughout the year, and it also offers other benefits, like improved noise control and extra protection against condensation. All four of the metal commercial building’s walls also feature 2’ overhangs, which serve two key purposes by creating covered outdoor storage space and protecting the exterior walls from moisture and damage.
Other customizations include 16 large windows that let natural light inside and door openings in multiple sizes and styles, allowing for easy entry and retrieval of items of all sizes. Economical, low maintenance and easy to raise, this building supports the landscaping business’s ongoing expansion efforts by providing plenty of additional room for storage and operations.
