Reviews from Our Happy Customers
Alan’s Factory Outlet is a legitimate business with an A+ rating from the BBB.
Sturdy Steel Framing
Your metal building will be constructed with premium steel studs. Choose between 14-gauge framing for general-purpose buildings or heavier-duty 12-gauge framing for additional strength and durability. The 12-gauge steel framing offers enhanced resistance to severe weather and includes a 20-year rust-through warranty. If you’re planning to use your building for many decades, 12-gauge framing is a wise investment.
Our extra-wide buildings feature sturdy steel trusses to safely bridge wide spans without any columns, as shown below.
Durable Roofing
For roofing, you can choose between 29-gauge steel panels or thicker, commercial-grade 26-gauge panels. The 29-gauge panels are ideal for mild climates. The 26-gauge panels are perfect for areas that regularly get snow or harsh weather, or those who want to maximize their building’s longevity.
Large building always come with a premium vertical roof. Smaller buildings and budget is a concern, we offer two additional, less expensive roof styles that require more maintenance to keep clean.
Classy Siding
The siding of your building will be crafted from steel panels with the same gauge as the roofing, ensuring consistent quality and durability. Choose between horizontal or vertical siding based on which style you prefer, seen below.
Garage Doors, Walk-in Doors, and Windows
We have a variety of roll-up garage doors available from 6’x6′ up to 16’x16′ in size. Chain hoists are also available for purchase.
For easy entry for people, we offer two styles of walk-in doors: one with a window, and one without. We also have two different styles of windows available.
Frame Outs and Lean-Tos
If you want to install your own garage doors, walk-in doors, or windows, we can do custom frame-outs for a small fee.
We are also able to add custom lean-tos on either side of your main structure.
For any customizations that aren’t available in our 3D builder, just call or email our friendly building specialists to discuss options and pricing.
Insulation
When customizing your building, choose from three insulation options:
- Woven R17 insulation: Effectively reduces condensation buildup. This insulation controls hot and cold temperature with an R-value of 17, suitable for more demanding temperature environments.”
- No insulation: Choose this if you aren’t concerned about condensation buildup or temperature control.
- Double Bubble insulation: Helps reduce condensation buildup. This insulation only has an R-value of 1, which is ideal for minimal insulation needs.
Color Options
Choose between a wide selection of colors for your roof, trim, and siding. For a more classy look, consider our two-tone (wainscot) option, which features a different color on the lower portion of your building.
Our metal garage kits for sale are usually available in the following colors:
12-Gauge Tubing and 26-Gauge Sheeting
Our metal buildings offer options to enhance structural strength. One option is 12-gauge tubing which provides a thicker, more durable frame. The other option is commercial-grade 26-gauge sheeting, perfect for roofs.
We recommended 12-gauge tubing and 26-gauge sheeting for areas that often get hurricanes, strong windstorms, or lots of snow.
Preparing a Space for Your Prefab Metal Building
Before we deliver your new metal building, set up either a level gravel pad or a concrete pad.
Foundation Installation:
Most metal buildings require a concrete slab foundation. Unfortunately, we are not able to install the foundation. You’ll need to prepare this before your building can be scheduled for installation. Your local planning or building department can provide specific foundation requirements for metal buildings in your area.
Slab Sizing:
Typically, your slab should be slightly larger than the metal building. Use our online concrete pad size calculator to determine the correct slab size for your location. If local regulations require an additional ledge, it can be sloped or lowered to prevent water from pooling next to your building’s base rail.
For gravel pad
We recommend your gravel pad to be 2 feet longer and 2 feet wider than your metal building size.
For concrete pad
Typically, we recommend your concrete pad to be at least 1 foot longer and 1 foot wider than your metal building size. Use our concrete pad calculator to confirm your pad size.
Learn more about Concrete Pads on our Concrete Pad Size Calculator page.
How Tall Should Your Metal Garage Be?
It’s important to know the different garage heights to ensure your vehicles and items will fit comfortably.
Roof Center Brace Clearance & Peak Height
Select your carport or garage preferences to see the center clearance and peak height.
Learn more about height clearance and building heights on our Height Clearance Calculator page.
