Why You Should Use Steel Buildings for your Dog Kennel

When thinking of prefabricated steel buildings, you probably picture storage buildings, garages, or workshops. Very rarely are prefabricated steel buildings associated with anything else, which is a shame because they are incredibly useful for a variety of applications, one of which being the best kennel for your dogs.
Here are just a few of the reasons why steel buildings make the perfect dog kennel.

They Provide Insulation in Cold Climates

If you live in an area known for blistering cold winters, and if you must keep your dog outside, leaving them to fend for themselves with only a dog house can be incredibly dangerous for them. Luckily, steel buildings can be insulated keeping the inside temperatures much warmer.
Additionally, choosing to have insulation will help keep down the noise from your dogs inside the building. If they’re prone to barking up a storm and you don’t want any more complaints from the neighbors, a steel building with insulation is an excellent choice.

Steel Buildings Are Incredibly Durable

Unlike a traditional dog house or kennel, your dogs will have a difficult time chewing through a prefabricated steel building. They can also stand up to the forces of nature such as rain, wind, snow or hail. If your area is prone to severe weather, you should consider using a steel building as a kennel to keep your pets safe from mother nature.

Installation is Quick

When you decide that you want to start a new project or add an extension to your current kennel, the installation process is incredibly quick. You don’t have to shell out the big bucks like you would for a traditional building construction project and, depending on the crew, they can have your building up and ready to go in the same day!

More Room to Run

If you’re using just a regular outdoor chain link dog kennel, your dogs are probably pretty cramped, not to mention cold, too! Installing a prefabricated steel building on your property will allow your dogs more space to sleep and run around inside all the while staying protected from the elements -staying nice and warm during even the coldest nights.

Completely Customizable
One of the best parts of choosing a steel building is that there are many different options to choose from. You can choose to have insulation pre-installed to keep your animals warm; you can have skylights added, so your animals aren’t completely in the dark and you can also customize all of the dimensions to fit your needs.
This is a great option if you already have an existing dog kennel and are looking to expand upon it. The manufacturer can adjust the size to fit your existing kennel to create one seamless kennel for your dogs.
Steel buildings are an incredibly flexible and inexpensive option for a variety of different uses. If you want to expand your current dog kennel or build an entirely new one, a prefabricated steel building is an excellent choice.

Anatomy of a Steel Building: Standing Seam and Screw Down Roofing Systems. Last week, in our 4-part blog series titled, The  Anatomy of a Steel Building :Rigid Frames, Purlins & Girts,    we discussed the different types of first and secondary support systems in a prefab steel building. We suggest going back and reading that post once you’re done  here . This week’s topic of discussion is two standard types of roofing systems, the differences  between them, and the pros and cons for both. Standing Seam: The standing seam panel is amongst the most versatile, durable and maintenance-free types of roofing system. Standing seam panels are installed using a clip and interlock design which conceals fasteners and prevents water from leaking in. See figure below of a typical detail for a double lock panel. Please note this is just one of many types of standing seam panels. Check with the steel structure company you are working with to see other available options.

From first-time builders to the urban planner, when it comes to prefabricated buildings, there are a few key points every non-industry guy and gal should know. What Everybody Ought to Know About Prefabricated Steel Buildings Efficient Fabrication In the golden age of automation, efficiency is key. Due to advanced CAD/CAM processes, fabrication of  steel buildings  produce minimal raw material waste yet still able to meet the strictest strength-to-weight ratios. In fact, steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any material, 25 times greater than wood. A lighter frame translates into a more cost-effective foundation and the ability to add other materials with less concern for the completed building weight.  Shorter Construction Time Steel buildings are designed and pre-built for easy reassembly at the manufacturing plant. Site preparation, such as the preparation and foundation placement, can be completed as the building is being manufactured. Once complete, the
