Warehouses
Renting a warehouse is expensive and locks you into a lease, building a traditional warehouse is expensive to build and buying an existing warehouse with the features you need can be challenging.
SteelMaster has come up with a simple, cost-effective solution: steel warehouse building kits that are affordable, can be delivered quickly, are easy to customize, fast to build, and have a 50-year warranty.
Our prefabricated warehouse kits can range from 20’ to 80’ in width with no limits on the length and are extremely cost-effective.
Depending on how basic your needs are, you can put together a warehouse storage kit for as little as $12 a square foot.
Quonset warehouses are cheaper to buy and build compared to steel framed warehouses for most applications 80 ft wide and under. For buildings that need to be wider than 80 ft, Quonsets may still be a viable option though they require additional engineering and customization considerations.
One of the biggest advantages of a Quonset hut is its clear-span design. The building’s open floor plan allows companies to create a custom layout that will optimize their operations. With 100% usable space on the inside of buildings, there will be plenty of room for large trucks, machinery, inventory, and large tools. Additionally, forklifts and other moving equipment will be able to move inside the building without running into any interior framework.
Without the added cost of steel I-beams or interior framing support that’s typically found in steel-framed warehouses, a Quonset hut uses the natural arch shape to provide structural integrity.
Quonset warehouses require no welding and minimal construction experience to assemble the building. For larger warehouses, scissor lifts or cranes can be used throughout construction, but don’t require highly skilled, costly labor to construct.
The cost of a warehouse can also add up over time when you consider the money it takes to maintain the structure. SteelMaster’s Quonsets come with a 50-year warranty, and we’ve also specially engineered each panel to last a lifetime. Commercial grade steel can withstand the common bumps and bangs associated with industrial sites.

To understand your total price for a new warehouse and whether buying or renting an existing warehouse makes more sense, consider these factors:
With all these factors taken into consideration, the cost per square foot of a warehouse can vary greatly. Regardless, our building specialists work directly with purchase managers and business owners to deliver the most cost-effective building possible with prices starting as low as $12 per square foot.
If you’re looking for a traditional steel structure, we may not be the right fit for your business. SteelMaster does not sell “straight wall” buildings, only arch-style structures. However, we do offer certain models that have straight sidewall panels.
At SteelMaster, our goal is to find the most cost-effective solution that meets the need of your project. Typically, our warehouse buildings are most economical in widths of 80 feet or less.
In order to compensate for a side opening in a Quonset-style structure, thicker gauge steel must be used around the opening, which will increase the cost of the structure.
When the warehouse building arrives, you’ll receive most of what you need to put it together with just the help of a small crew depending on the size of the building. Larger projects will require more equipment to construct. Our buildings only require the use of one size nut and bolt, and bolting the arches together is a breeze.
Lay your high-quality, corrugated commercial-grade steel arch panels out and assemble them on the ground.
After the arches are assembled on the ground, raise them and connect them to the foundation. Then, connect the arch to the previously raised arch
After your arches are assembled and up, you can add your preferred endwall to complete your building. Because Quonset huts are self-supporting, this step is optional.
SteelMaster’s S-Model and A-Model are the more popular for warehouse buildings due to their straight sidewalls that allow warehouse pallet racking or shelving to be placed against the wall. Both models provide overhead space for taller items or a lofted area.
With straight sidewalls and a rounded roofline that deflects wind and snow, the S-Model is a “well-rounded” option. This model can easily accommodate larger widths up to 80 ft and is ideal for bigger warehouses.
The A-Model looks the most like a traditional “straight wall” steel building. This model is most cost-effective at 40’ wide and under, so it is ideal for warehouses for smaller “boutique” businesses or businesses that desire multiple small warehouse buildings.
Customize your prefab warehouse with parts and accessories. You can choose to use SteelMaster accessories or locally source them based on the look, pricing or building needs. We talk you through your customization options as your building is being priced.
