Firstly, you will have an on-site location to store your property. Second, the building is easily repurposed should it out live its original intent.

Florida is known for sun, surf, and thunderstorms. And while surfing will not impact your belonging the sun and thunderstorms certainly will. A quality metal storage unit can protect your property from both. The sun can damage your property, causing discoloration, and damage to paint.

A metal storage unit can protect your property from all of these things.

Metal is naturally fire resistant, so it will ignite. Also, a steel shed will protect whatever it is housing from the weather. Moreover, with proper insulation, you can help control the temperature of the interior of your metal building. Here at Keen’s Buildings, we build our units beyond the industry standard.

Florida and Georgia Metal Buildings for Agriculture

An investment of any sort is an important decision that should be considered carefully. There are a lot of options to weigh. We at Keen’s Buildings understand this and want to make the process for you as easy as possible. That’s why we offer a wide variety of metal building types for you to choose from.

Barns

Barns are the staple of agriculture buildings and have been used for centuries. Wooden barns are quite popular however, they are far from ideal as they are very susceptible to heat and water damage. Unlike wooden buildings, metal buildings do not require a lot of maintenance making metal buildings the friendlier and more economical option.

Garage

Equipment is the life force of any agricultural setting; however, if left in the elements it’s only a matter of time before they become damaged. Housing your equipment, no matter, if it’s gardening tools or heavy machinery, is crucial to ensuring a long lifespan. Rain, wind, and the sun can all severely damage equipment over time. With the low maintenance and high durability of metal, you can rest assured that your steel building will last for a long time, making your initial investment well worth it.

Hay/ fodder storage

If you are keeping livestock, you may find yourself in need of a storage unit for your fodder. It is important to carefully consider how you choose to store your fodder as the storage unit specifications can determine how long your fodder will keep. Damp areas or places that retain a lot of water will cause your fodder to rot quickly making it unusable.

Customize

Create your metal building your way. We have a lot of customizability options for your metal building. From adding extensions to repurposing preexisting space. If you have an idea of the type of structure you want, contact us, and we’ll happily help you sketch out your dream building.

Why Metal Storage Sheds Are Superior to Wooden Sheds

When it comes to storage, one of the most popular avenues is a metal storage shed. People all over America prefer to have metal storage sheds instead of the traditional wooden ones. There are a lot of ways metal storage sheds are superior to the wooden ones. A metal storage shed is more environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, durable, and long-lasting.

There are several ways you can use your metal shed. For instance, you can use it as a workshop, home office, tool shop, or for storage purposes.

Advantages of Choosing Metal Storage Garages

You may be reluctant to choose a metal storage shed over a wooden shed because of the cost, but it is actually superior in the long run. Getting a metal storage shed is an investment that will stay with you for years to come. Additionally, their maintenance is also easier.

Following are some of the advantages of metal storage sheds. After reading these amazing benefits, you will definitely see how the metal storage sheds are far better than wooden sheds.

Less Maintenance

Like we mentioned before, wooden sheds are harder to maintain as compared to metal storage sheds. Wooden sheds are more likely to suffer from structural damage than steel ones. A few things that can cause damage to the wooden sheds are fires, floods, and storms. And let’s not forget the deadliest disaster – termites. Yes, termites can eat away the wooden foundations of your shed, leaving you with a skeleton. Getting rid of termites will cost you an arm and a leg, figuratively, of course.

All these issues will go away when you have a metal storage shed. You will not have to worry about termites, damp conditions, or fire hazards when you have a metal storage shed.

Much More Secure

Have you ever heard that a burglar cut through a metal storage shed and stole things? We are sure that your answer is no. It is much easier to penetrate through a wooden shed. Metal storage sheds will ensure that your stored items remain secure from the clutches of burglars and thieves.

No Need for Foundation

Yes, you read that right. In most cases, you will not require a foundation for your metal storage shed. This will help you cut down on the installation cost significantly. All you need for the installation of your new metal storage shed is a flat surface, and you are good to go.

Modern Designs

If you are picturing your metal storage shed as a tin box, then you are wrong. It is much more modern than that. You can renovate and paint it just the way you like to add a modern touch. Additionally, your metal storage shed can be custom-designed to suit your needs.

Are you looking for reliable vendors who will solve all your storage problems? Look no further, because you just found the best one. Keen’s Building will help you get your dream metal storage shed. Contact us today and get your storage shed delivered.

The Best Tips for Keeping Your Shed Organized this Spring

How-to-Care-For-Your-Shed-In-The-Spring

When spring comes around, the innate desire to spend time outdoors and soak in the sunshine and fresh air takes over. It also signals the start of cleaning up, disinfecting and purging closets, homes, garages, and storage buildings. For more people, the start of spring signals the beginning of spring cleaning, and the best way to go about it is by being organized and getting done with it quickly.

It is a good idea to start cleaning out your storage spaces at the beginning of spring so that you can throw away all the junk you have accumulated over the year. If you have been keeping a lot of stuff in your storage shed, you could face a tougher task than expected. How long it takes you to clean out depends on the size of your shed, and the accumulated clutter. It could take you days, or even an entire week to declutter, clean, and organize your shed.

A well-organized shed is important, since it allows you to store more important stuff, and helps you get to your tools without knocking over other items. So, here are the best tips for keeping your shed organized this spring:

Create more space

The first thing you must do is create more space in your shed so that you have more storage space for important items. Remove all unwanted items, or stuff that has accumulated over the years, which is now practically useless to you.

Clean your garden tools

If you haven’t touched your garden tools in a while, they may start collecting rust. Make sure that you take them out of the shed and thoroughly clean the shears, spades, trowels, and shovels in the shed. Gardening seasoning is starting, and you must ensure that your tools are free of grime, dirt, and rust.

Organize all shelves

You can make your task a lot easier by organizing the shelves in your shed. This will help you keep a sense of order in the shed, and you won’t lose important tools. Get rid of empty boxes and contains, and start keeping an inventory of all supplies in your shed.

Check for signs of pests

Your shed could have become a nest for any number of pests during the winter, so when spring rolls around, you must check for signs of pests. If you do find signs of a pest living in your shed, call the pest control experts to get rid of them in a humane manner.

Wash it down

Before you organize your shed, you should give it a good wash, so that all dirt and dust that has accumulated inside is cleared. You must keep your clean, and give it a thorough mopping, sweeping, and dusting should do the job.

Most people don’t bother with proper spring cleaning since it seems like a chore that they want to get out of the way. If you go about it properly, you can easily ensure that your shed is well-organized, clean as a whistle, and fully-stocked for the coming year.
