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.

All of the Tools You Will Need to Assemble Your Metal Building Kit
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).
1. Extension Ladder
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 Snips
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 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.
4. Metal Cutting Blade
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.
Worldwide Steel Buildings wants you to breeze right through the construction process, so we’ve put together DIY instructions that’ll walk you through it! You can find those here.
