Metal Building Outlet supplied this prefabricated steel building in Des Allemands, Louisiana.

Now used as a shop by Otto Candies, a leading longtime innovator in vessel design, the metal building stands 40’x55’x16’ and is covered overhead by a durable, corrosion-resistant Galvalume roof with a 1:12 pitch.
