Energy-Efficient Steel Shop Building in Pine, Colorado

This Metal Building Outlet building in Pine, Colorado, has heavy wind and snow loads, a high-performance insulation system and other customizations and upgrades that make it well-suited for life in the Colorado foothills.

Delivered to Pine in April 2023, the metal shop building has 2’ overhangs surrounding all four sides, helping keep the walls dry while creating covered outdoor space the owner can use. Easy to erect and ultra energy-efficient, the steel shop has a high R-value, double-layer R-38 insulation system in the roof and an R-25 Energy Saver insulation system in the walls. The insulation makes it suitable for use during Pine’s cold, snowy winters, and it also keeps heating and cooling bills low.

Northern-facing gutters and downspouts help rain and melting snow drain away from the building, while (6) 4’x4’ windows take advantage of natural light, brightening up the shop on the inside. Attractive, energy-efficient and low-maintenance, the shop arrived onsite in a pre-assembled kit, leading to a fast, straightforward erection process.
