In the rugged landscape of West Virginia, property owners require structures that can withstand heavy snow loads and varied terrain. Simpson Steel Building Company meets these needs with our specialized 40x50x14 metal equipment storage, designed as a versatile solution for equipment storage.
Specialized 40x50x14 Design
The 40x50x14 configuration is a popular choice for West Virginians due to its expansive 2,000 square feet of unobstructed interior space. With a 14-foot eave height, these buildings easily accommodate large agricultural machinery, RVs, and tractors. Simpson Steel utilizes a patented steel truss frame system that provides the structural integrity of a heavy-duty industrial building at a significantly lower price point than traditional rigid-frame structures.
Steel Cabins and Residential Versatility
Beyond simple storage, Simpson Steel’s kits are increasingly utilized for steel cabin buildings and "barndominiums." These structures offer several advantages for residential use in West Virginia:
Fire Resistance: Crucial for homes located in heavily wooded or remote areas.
Customization: Kits can include 18-inch roof overhangs, wainscoting, and a variety of color-matched trims to create an aesthetic that fits a mountain setting.
Insulation Ready: Packages often include 3-inch or 6-inch insulation for both walls and roofs, ensuring energy efficiency during harsh Appalachian winters.
Engineered for West Virginia
Every metal building from Simpson Steel is engineered to meet specific local building codes. In West Virginia, this means accounts for increased snow loads and wind speeds up to 105 mph. The company provides complete engineered plans and foundation drawings stamped by a licensed West Virginia engineer, simplifying the permitting process for DIY builders and contractors alike.
The bolt-together design ensures that these kits are accessible for those looking for an affordable DIY project. Most components are pre-punched and cut to length, requiring only basic machinery like a forklift to assemble on-site.
