A metal building is a smart and economical way to protect many of your valuables and increase your property’s value. Whether you are a small business looking for additional storage space, or an individual seeking to build that dream workshop or garage, a metal building can accommodate anything from an office, warehouse or the space to store all those important items you want to protect. Need a new mancave? How about a place to store extra vehicles or RV? A metal building can do all of that and more.

  • Office

Steel buildings are far more advanced than you may think. Prefab steel buildings have windows, doors and stylish designs customized to your needs, so this makes them ideal for a home office. Instead of taking up home living space or having to rent an office, a prefab steel building can easily be built on your property. This gives you plenty of room for a comfortable office for both you and your clients. Ranging from small sheds 12’ wide to large clearspan buildings up to 100’ wide, you will be able to fit yourself and your growing business. Each Worldwide building is easy to add on to for future expansion.

  • Workshop

A workshop can be very practical. It doesn’t matter if it’s for wood working, a place to work on your cars, or just a hobby, having a workshop grants you the safe space and storage you need to work on your craft. Not only is this convenient, it’s safe as well. With an entirely separate workshop you can safely store your project with your tools and any specialty items you use. Your workshop can be customized to match your home or be a stand alone with its own look.

  • Garage

Whether you’re looking for a single car garage or a garage large enough to hold your car collection, a steel garage building goes up fast and easy with unmatched strength. With a prefab steel building you can easily customize your door placements and exterior look. A metal garage gives you the style and function you need and the strength to handle what mother nature throws at it. Build a steel framed garage and you will not only improve your property value, but also have peace of mind.

  • Guest House

We all need that extra space in our home. What if you had the land to actually put an affordable guest house on your property? Do you have an elderly family member who needs a little more attention? What about a child who is old enough to need their own privacy? Are you avid entertainers and want a place your visitors can stay for the evening? A beautiful guest house can solve all of your problems.

I live in northern Kansas and I needed a building built. I had a 40-50 year old machine shed that had been converted into a pole barn on the property. The people we bought the property from had added a concrete floor. The building was an absolute piece of junk. It only had one garage door in it. It was rusted and dated. I looked into painting it and got several quotes, but the painting costs were outrageous. The cost to paint it was going to be $13,700 due to the rotting and the condition of the siding. The cost for the new building was $14,200.

Finding a Company  

I looked at pole barns and other steel buildings and read some of the testimonials. I called 8-9 different companies. To be honest, when I called to talk to some others, they transferred me around. I left messages places and never got responses. Many of them never bothered to even call back.

Choosing Worldwide Steel

When I reached Derek at Worldwide Steel, he was extremely easy to talk to, answered all of my questions, and gave me quotes. He sent me brochures, I looked at the quality and different things. It was pretty evident right from the beginning that he was customer service oriented. I felt very comfortable with Derek. He followed up several times and we talked over the course of maybe a month and a half before I figured out what I wanted for sure. He walked me through the process and the warranty was excellent.

The Storage Garage

I bought a 30×56 building because I already had the pre-existing concrete pad from the old barn. ​It’s a garage – three full garage doors plus a toy door for bringing in the lawn mower, ranger, etc. I will be using it for equipment storage – a boat and two vehicles.

The Construction

I originally had a local contractor take down the old building and do some concrete work. The contractor gave me a ridiculously low price to build out new building as well. When I called Worldwide to talk with them about the contractor’s plan, they were able to give me helpful tips and explain to me exactly what needs to be done as far as the construction of the new building. They also got me in touch with a contractor who could go through the process seamlessly.

Instead of trying to build it myself, I hired a contracting crew that was recommended by Worldwide Steel and is one of their number one contractors. I was extremely pleased with them. They came out and built it in five days. They worked with the insulation company and were very professional. They did a super job!

Changes along the Way

Worldwide Steel is extremely customer oriented. From day one, when I finally decided the size of my building, they sent me blueprints for the building based on what I had told them I was hoping to get from the building. I could email and call and was able to completely customize and revise the blueprints with the help of worldwide employees.

Communication Was Key to a Seamless Job

Anytime I had questions, anytime I would call, I never talked to anyone from Worldwide who wasn’t overly helpful. From the littlest question to the receptionist, it didn’t matter who I was talking to or what I was asking. I had no hiccups along the way. I added the insulation package per the salesman’s suggestion and I have been extremely happy with it. The tiny issue that I ran into with the insulation company not sending enough insulation was immediately handled by Worldwide Steel and only postponed the whole process by half a day. The contractor didn’t charge extra for the additional time since it

wasn’t my fault. I’ve stayed in touch with our sales rep since then and have bragged continuously about how easy the process was and how seamlessly the project went.

Worldwide Steel’s Customer Service Is Amazing

Worldwide will build you whatever you want. You give them what you want and you can either put it up yourself or hire one of their exceptional contractors to take care of the job for you. Derek has obviously never pressured us. I can’t emphasize the customer service level enough.

My One Regret

I wish I could say more. We just love the building. The only thing that I regret was that we didn’t include the mezzanine for additional storage. I would recommend that to anybody. Much better warranty than anything else and I was impressed from the very beginning.

If you’re planning on building a garage, shed, large barn, or other structure, make sure to call Worldwide Steel first. We’ll make it painless. Call and talk to one our helpful salespeople at (800) 825-0316 or ​contact us online​. We’ll make sure your steel building is exactly what you wanted!

garage workshop building customer testimonial

At Worldwide Steel Buildings, we are proud of our processes that make building a steel structure of any kind, anywhere, as painless and streamlined as possible. However, for one of our customers, timing, communication and follow through were of utmost importance. Here is his experience in his words:

A Challenging Location to Build a Steel Building

For most people, any undertaking of a construction project requires major consideration with regard to time money and frustration. Most would prefer to leave these challenges up to a general contractor and in the end, enjoy all the rewards and just write the check.

Our situation in Juneau has additional considerations. First, we live in a remote community 900 miles away from major shipping ports and access is by boat or plane only. Along with our geographical location, we live in a rainforest that receives approx. 120 inches of rain yearly and annual snowfall that can reach 200 inches. All of this provides for approximately 5 months of sensible building time in a calendar year, so a commitment to a timeline and follow through is essential.

Expectations Were Set Low Due to Previous Experiences

Having lived here for 30-plus years has demonstrated that even the best of companies and corporations from the lower forty eight have and are unable to overcome the many challenges that Juneau presents. And for them to oversell and under execute is more often the norm rather than the exception.

All that said, to maintain control of all factors, I decided to be my own general contractor, designer and banker. And with the help from my lovely assistant and wife Pamela, would construct and build our new garage. I knew what I wanted, where I wanted it and how much I could spend.

(Our 3D Building Designer tool helps you get started on the design of your steel building project!)

Worldwide Steel Was Great from the First Contact

After a year of research and planning, I sent out emails to over a dozen steel building providers. This email contained what I would consider a comprehensive list of details and overview of my project. For comparison’s sake, I was patient and waited for many to respond. Perhaps comparison is the wrong term, for it was more of a contrast as replies came in.

Right from the start, Worldwide steel and more specifically, Mr. John Turner, immediately responded, providing information, answering questions, going over options and discussing details. The information Mr. Turner provided seemed to be more confirmed, confident and backed by firsthand knowledge and industry experience than did others who replied.

Communication Was Convenient

In short order, I knew exactly who he was, what he did and how he could help me with our project. Although there was a three hour time difference, Mr. Turner gave me multiple points of contact: email, phone numbers, etc., and I was encouraged to reach out at any time, after hours and on weekends. Other companies literally took months to return any reply, or deferred me to someone else, or someone would have someone else call me back, or sent me to an automated voicemail tree.

The Construction Process Was Seamless

After deciding to go with Worldwide Steel, John and the team at Worldwide put together a seamless chain of events and efforts from architects, engineers, logistics, shipping departments, finalizing plan details and setting up time schedules, as well as providing necessary plans, documentation, and certifications needed for the local permitting process.

At Worldwide I had one contact, John Turner with a direct line, who always answered the phone or called me back within minutes. But more importantly, John was always in line and up to date with the specifics of my project and its progress. I never felt as if my little garage got lost in the day-to-day shuffle of people being too busy to take the time.

My Steel Garage Is On Schedule and Under Budget

As a result of John and the many others at Worldwide, my little garage has become a reality. We are currently on schedule and under budget working on interior and final details. We are able to look back on this project and experience in a positive light (the wife and I are still talking to each other).

If an honest and truthful recommendation based on deeds, performance and proven abilities was ever deserved, well, my hat’s off to Mr. John Turner and the team from Worldwide Steel. Good job!

A metal building built by Worldwide Steel Buildings

Sometimes, you have to make a responsible, educated leap of faith to make your dreams come true. And when that dream involves a substantial home improvement project or acquiring a physical property — whether it’s finally becoming a homeowner by building a new metal home or barndominium for your family, constructing a new metal garage to support your independent vintage car repair shop, erecting a commercial building to expand the footprint of your small business, or a horse barn for agricultural purposes — the dream may well come before the dollars.

Worldwide Steel Buildings understands the importance of financing options in these endeavors. We don’t expect our customers to pay for their entire steel building kits upfront, no matter what their goal or financial situation. That’s why we offer comprehensive metal building financing options, designed to accommodate the diverse needs of borrowers, be it for homeowners or businesses.

Metal Buildings That Are Easy to Build and Easy to Afford

We know it’s crucial to your personal and corporate financial success to have the space you need when you need it. Oftentimes, that means you need to invest in your metal structure before the money can follow. That is why we provide a range of financing options, available on every building kit to those who meet the basic criteria, including a straightforward credit check.

Worldwide Steel Buildings is delighted to offer financing services that can streamline your metal building project. Our building specialists are here to assist you in navigating the financing process, ensuring you can build when the time is right.

Plus, our metal building kits are cost-effective (especially compared to a traditional home), so the monthly payments you’ll make on your low-maintenance, long-lasting steel structure should be reasonable and affordable. Our financing program offers competitive rates and flexible payment options, catering to different financial situations.

How to Qualify for Financing

Securing financing for a metal building kit is straightforward. There are no upfront fees, no prepayment penalties, and no appraisal required. Unlike with many other contracting agencies, equity is not a prerequisite for steel building financing.
Concerned that your credit score or credit history might impact your approval process for metal building financing? We encourage you to enquire regardless. The lenders we work with, including New Century Bank, will tailor your loan terms based on factors like building cost, down payment, and other elements within your control. Our lending partners offer competitive interest rates and specialize in construction loans, ensuring you work with experts who understand the nuances of financing your metal building.

We offer a wide variety of steel building accessories and metal building add ons to improve the character and functionality of your building project. Discover the benefits of metal buildings and take a look at some of these options for add-ons that are available when you invest in a metal building kit from Worldwide Steel:

Mezzanine bar joist system for adding lofts in steel buildingAdd a Mezzanine

Imagine a balcony above the main space of your building. It’s possible in one of our prefabricated metal buildings, and is a fantastic, cost-effective way to increase the usable space in your building. Use it for extra storage in your workshop, an office in your garage, or a cool game room in your man cave. Our mezzanine bar joist system lets you easily add a loft anywhere. No matter what you use it for, it’s a great way to provide extra space without increasing the building’s footprint.

Skylights Let the Sun Shine In

Rethink the lighting in your steel building with the addition of skylights. They allow natural sunlight to pour in, brightening spaces like your home, workshop, or metal garage. This infusion of natural light not only enhances the ambiance but also offers practical benefits, such as energy savings and improved mood. It’s a simple yet effective way to bring a touch of the outdoors inside, making your environment more pleasant and productive. Embrace the natural light; it’s good for both your space and your well-being.

Insulation Keeps You Warm & Cozy

Steel buildings may seem cold, but in reality, they are as warm and cozy as you want to make them, thanks to our high-quality insulation options. We can install insulation in any metal structure, no matter what you’re using it for. Many homeowners build homes and enjoy a snug home with no drafts and energy efficiency (that means lower energy bills, too).

Modified Roof Designs Keep It Interesting

Contrary to popular belief, not all steel buildings look alike. You have plenty of roofline styles to choose from, including single slope, asymmetrical, and gabled, complete with various color options and roof panels. You can change the size of your eave extensions. You can even add a cupola! Check out your options with our 3D Building Designer.

From practical carports to significant expansions, we make the process simple and effective, ensuring your new addition complements your existing building perfectly. Choose our prefab metal buildings for a hassle-free expansion that meets your specific needs.

Choose from Many Different Exterior Facades

Think your steel building has to look industrial or plain from the outside? Think again. Our buildings break the mold of traditional aesthetics, offering you a range of customization options. Whether it’s a vibrant color palette or transforming the exterior with materials like brick, stucco, concrete, or wood, the possibilities are endless. Explore these options to give your metal structure a unique and appealing look. You can add character with architectural features like cupolas, overhangs, gutters, downspouts, and Dutch doors. These enhancements prove that these building materials can be as visually striking as they are functional, reflecting your style and meeting your practical needs.

The Worldwide Steel Buildings Difference

A steel framed residential home designed and built by Worldwide Steel

Some of the benefits of steel are inherent to the material — steel is impervious to rot, termites and other critters, and is extremely energy-efficient, for example. 

And some of the benefits of steel stem from your steel building manufacturer. At Worldwide Steel, we manufacture our own precision-welded steel trusses and design our residential steel building kits with the DIY-er in mind. That means you’ll save money on construction costs — no construction companies required. We also work with you from conception to ensure your home design and floor plans aren’t overlooking any elements that you’ll need to go back and redo in the future. When you work with us, it’s a real partnership based on designing and building the best steel home possible, not just a transactional relationship. 

Check out just a few more ways our buildings are a cut above the competition:

  • Metal framing and steel studs made from recycled steel 
  • Manufactured in the United States
  • Designed to meet your local building codes
  • Designed to withstand harsh weather
  • Fire resistant 
  • Eco-friendly
  • Shipped directly from our factory
  • Metal building kits arrive with pre-welded trusses
  • Includes 16-gauge door frames
  • MIG welded steel
  • Dipped in rust preventing primer

And one other thing: Try asking your local custom home builder if he’ll give you a 50-year warranty on a wood frame house. Didn’t go for it? Didn’t think so.

We have a 50-year warranty on all of our buildings, including residential homes. We also offer financing options for both residential and commercial steel buildings.

Imagine transforming your garage space from a basic storage area into a stunning showpiece of your home. For many homeowners, the garage is simply a spot to park cars and store items, but it holds the potential to be so much more. Our Top 10 Dream Garage Ideas guide is here to spark your imagination and guide you through this exciting transformation.

What if your garage could reflect your unique style and interests? Think beyond a standard garage remodel. With Worldwide Steel Buildings, creating a luxury garage that goes beyond the ordinary is within reach. Whether you’re an enthusiast with a prized car collection or someone who appreciates the practicality of a car lift, our design ideas are tailored to meet your specific desires.

These dream garage ideas aren’t just about organizing space; they’re about reinventing it. Each concept is a step towards turning your garage into a multifunctional area. From aesthetic improvements to functional upgrades, every element contributes to realizing your dream garage.

As you explore these top 10 features, envision how they can elevate your garage remodel. This is your opportunity to transform a conventional garage into an extension of your home, perfectly suited to both homeowners and their passions.

1. Add Windows

Is your current garage dark, dreary, and depressing? Let the light in with a few windows. Adding windows, garage doors or skylights will make your home garage look custom and will offer awesome natural lighting.

2. Fix Up Your Flooring

A concrete floor may seem like the easy choice, but why not amp it up a bit with an epoxy floor? Adding an epoxy coating to your garage floor is an easy way to turn boring concrete into a work of art. These days, a floor coating is also durable, so you don’t need to worry about messing it up if you drop something heavy.

3. Wash Off with a SinkShelves and a tool bench inside of a metal garage

What happens in the garage should stay in the garage! If you’re constantly tracking grease and grime into your living space, adding a sink with some garage cabinets underneath (to store soap and paper towels) can help contain the mess. The ability to wash up where you work will not only keep your garage interior a cleaner space, but your home as well.

4. Stock Up On Storage

The garage is the top place for clutter to accumulate, but the right garage storage can help. Take a look at an unused garage wall and measure it for built-in cabinetry, overhead storage, shelves, and hooks. See if you can add to this storage system with a freestanding storage unit for bulkier items. You’ll be impressed by how much better your storage space gets and how easily you can reach the things you use often, all while getting rid of the messy, piled-up junk.

5. Power Up with Electricity

If you’re not wired for electricity, you’re wasting tons of potential in your space. Most of the tools used for woodworking, fixing up classic cars, and generally facilitating a garage workshop need electricity. Add outlets in convenient spaces to expand the opportunity for future electrical needs. Not to mention, without electricity, you can’t have these awesome features below…

6. Turn It Up with Audio/Sound

Who says the garage can’t double as a man cave? Install a sound system and flat-screen television. Enjoy the big game with the boys, fix up your dream car, and make DIY jobs a breeze by streaming instructional videos, right in your workshop.

7. Lock It Down with Security

You’ve invested in some really cool stuff. Make sure you protect it! Don’t forget to incorporate a security system and install security sensors on your new garage doors and windows. If you want to further control who has the keys to your castle, consider adding a keypad lock to your door with your own personalized security code.

8. Workbench

A functional workbench is essential for any DIY enthusiast’s garage. It’s not just a workspace; it’s where your creative projects come to life. Strategically placing this workbench near your storage solution ensures tools are always within reach, enhancing both efficiency and organization. This setup transforms your garage into an inspiring workspace, perfect for any DIY project.

9. Lighting

Windows may improve natural lighting conditions, but some special projects (or those that keep your attention long after the sun has gone down) require special lighting. Add high-quality LED lighting overhead, and dimmers for more lighting options.

10. Keep Your Cool

Working on a project, or having your buddies over to enjoy your new digs, means you will need refreshments. Forget about trips back and forth to the kitchen! Install a refrigerator and keep your cold drinks right where they belong.

From Plans to Perfection: Finalizing Your Dream Garage Design

The journey to your dream garage makeover begins with a vision and a plan. Whether you’re starting with a basic one-car garage or expanding to accommodate a larger vision, your garage plans are the blueprint for transformation. Each feature we’ve discussed is a stepping stone toward creating a space that’s not only functional but also a reflection of your personal style and needs.

Remember, a garage makeover is more than just a renovation project; it’s an opportunity to enhance your lifestyle. From sleek design elements to practical upgrades, every change contributes to the overall feel and functionality of your garage.

Take these ideas, refine them to fit your unique requirements, and embark on the exciting journey of turning your ordinary garage into the space you’ve always imagined. Your dream garage is not just a concept—it’s a possibility waiting to be realized.

Our prefabricated steel building kits include overhead doors, eave struts, roof sheeting, and steel frames, eliminating the need for multiple suppliers.

If you’ve ever had a hand in putting together a building, you know one of the great hassles (and costs) is getting all the materials together from many different sources. Luckily, we’ve done the work for you with our engineered steel building kits, which means you can skip the additional markup costs and hassle of finding the best deal amongst many different sources.

Comparing Steel to Other Building Materials

When considering a DIY building project, the choice of material is crucial. Steel offers several advantages over traditional materials like wood or concrete. For starters, steel is incredibly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, making it a more reliable choice for long-term stability. It’s also fire-resistant and pest-resistant, unlike wood. In terms of cost, steel can be more economical in the long run due to its low maintenance requirements and longer lifespan. This makes steel an ideal choice for your building project, ensuring a sturdy and lasting structure.

Customization Options for Your Metal Building

With Worldwide Steel Buildings, the possibilities for customization are nearly endless. Whether you’re looking for a specific size, color, or layout, our steel building kits can be tailored to fit your unique needs and preferences. You can choose from a variety of door and window configurations, roof styles, and even interior finishes. Our flexible design options ensure that your metal building is not just functional but also visually appealing, perfectly aligning with your vision for the project.

Future Expansion and Scalability

One of the fantastic features of our steel structures is their scalability. As your needs grow, so can your building. Our building designs allow for easy expansion, whether you need to extend the length, add new sections, or even stack additional stories. This scalability ensures that your investment is future-proof, adapting to your changing needs without the need for a complete rebuild.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Maintaining your metal building is straightforward and low-cost. Regular cleaning to remove dirt and debris, checking for any signs of moisture or damage, and ensuring proper ventilation are usually all that’s needed. Unlike wood structures, metal buildings don’t require treatments for pests or rot, and they’re less susceptible to weather damage. A little bit of care goes a long way in keeping your metal building in top condition for years to come.

One of the best things about building your new metal building from a pre-engineered kit is that it’s truly a do-it-yourself project. Really. No prior experience or advanced skill required. Never set foot on a construction jobsite before? Don’t worry about it.

Worldwide Steel Buildings designs steel structures a contractor would be proud of, but so easy to assemble that a weekend warrior can do the job (and we’ll admit — that’s the customer who might be a little bit more proud when all’s said and done).

Because our building systems are manufactured in-house to our exacting standards, and many of the building materials are pre-welded, there won’t be any unwelcome, frustrating surprises in store. 

In fact, the average DIYer will need only the power tools and hand tools already in their toolbox … plus these four extra tools (and some safety equipment, like hard hats, safety goggles and a first aid kit. Safety first, kids).

Consumer reports offers this handy buying guide for extension ladders. They recommend you:

  • Buy the right ladder for the job.
  • Choose the right height for your project.
  • Test it out. Take a moment and climb it. Three steps up and it should not bend, tilt or “walk.” 
  • Familiarize yourself with the mechanisms used to lock and adjust the ladder.


2. Tin SnipsA pair of tin snips being used to cut a sheet of metal

Quality tin snips can cut into metal as easily as scissors cut paper. The longer blades make it easy to cut straight leaving a smooth edge. If you don’t already have a pair, make sure you get tin snips designed for the gauge metal supplied in the garage kit.



3. Screw GunA woman using a screw gun

A screw gun takes a lot of time and effort to add the fasteners to your building. Screw guns are similar to power drills, but the nose holds onto screws and makes your job a lot easier.

These blades are made from specially hardened steel. Their precision design consistently delivers accurate cuts on even the most challenging materials, like steel. They are engineered to dampen noise and lessen vibration, making cutting sheet metal a dream.




Toolbox Basics

In case you are wondering, and we know you are, the following is what we expect the average DIYer to have in their toolbox:

  • Screwdriver
  • Tape measure
  • Hammer
  • Socket
  • Ratchet
  • Wrench
  • Level & Plumb Bob
  • Drill
  • Tri-Square
  • Shovel
  • Vice Grips

Don’t worry – if you’re missing any of the tools mentioned, you can find them at your local hardware store for a reasonable price.

These suggestions apply to all our pre-engineered metal building kits, by the way. Sure, airplane hangars and fleets of storage buildings may seem more complicated than carports or sheds, but the principles of the building construction are all the same.
