FAQ

How long does it take to get a metal shop building?

Lead time to Eulonia is approximately 1 to 2 weeks. You can use that period to work through permits and any site preparation the project requires. If you're coordinating concrete or contractors, base their schedules on the timeline of your order rather than a general estimate.

How tall should my metal shop building be?

Think about what's going through the doors and what will happen inside. Taller vehicles, equipment, lifts or overhead storage can all affect the height you need. Don't choose wall height based only on how the building looks from outside. Make sure the interior clearance works with both your current equipment and anything you're likely to add later.

What should I do before pouring a slab for my workshop?

Finalize the building dimensions and confirm the local requirements first. You don't want to discover after the concrete is down that the slab is the wrong size or the shop is sitting too close to a property line. Check the requirements with McIntosh County Building & Zoning Office and coordinate the concrete dimensions with the specifications for your actual building.

What size metal shop building do I need?

Start with your largest equipment and work backward from there. Add space for workbenches, toolboxes, shelving and clear walking areas. If vehicles or machinery will be worked on inside, allow room around them rather than just enough space to park them. It's also smart to plan for tools or equipment you may add later.

What kind of panels are used on Benton metal workshops?

Benton's metal shop buildings use 29-gauge and 26-gauge Rib panels -- Benton's existing standard gauge/profile for pole-barn, carport, and agricultural structures. panels. The panel specification is worth checking when you're comparing workshops because the metal roofing and siding make up the exterior envelope of the structure. Benton manufactures metal building products in Statesboro and can quote the materials based on the specifications of the workshop you want to get.

How should I plan the doors on a metal workshop?

Start with the largest thing that needs to pass through them. Vehicles, tractors, machinery and other equipment can require more clearance than a standard entry. Then think about where those items need to go once they're inside. Good door placement lets you move equipment without constantly rearranging tools, workbenches or stored materials.

Should I insulate my metal workshop?

That depends on how you'll use the shop and how much time you'll spend inside it. If heating, cooling or interior comfort matters, insulation is worth considering during the planning stage. Benton lists insulation products among its building accessories, but the appropriate system depends on the building and project requirements. Plan for it before finishing the interior.

Can I use a metal shop building for working on cars and trucks?

A metal shop building can be planned for vehicle work, but think carefully about the interior dimensions and the moving room. You'll need enough space for the vehicle, open doors, tools and room to move around while you're working. The overhead door also needs to accommodate the vehicles or equipment you expect to bring inside.
