40x60 Metal Building
A 40x60 pre-engineered steel building offers 2,400 square feet of durable, versatile space designed for a variety of applications. Whether you need a workshop, warehouse, agricultural facility, or commercial space, a pre-engineered steel building delivers strength, efficiency, and long-term value.
Built from high-quality steel, these structures are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including snow, winds, and extreme temperatures. Unlike traditional wood buildings, steel is resistant to pests, rot, and fire, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Pre-engineered steel buildings are designed for fast and easy construction, reducing labor costs and build times compared to conventional structures. Additionally, insulation options help improve energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling expenses.
A 40x60 steel building offers a clear-span interior, meaning there are no interior support columns. This maximizes usable space and allows for flexible layouts.
Unlike wood or concrete structures, steel buildings require little upkeep. They resist rust, corrosion, and wear, ensuring a long lifespan with minimal repairs.
The 40x60 size is ideal for:
- Workshops & Garages – Perfect for mechanics, hobbyists, and vehicle storage
- Agricultural Use – Great for equipment storage, barns, and feed storage
- Commercial Spaces – Suitable for retail shops, offices, or warehouses
- Manufacturing & Industrial Use – Provides ample space for production, fabrication, and storage
With faster construction, lower costs, and long-lasting durability, a 40x60 pre-engineered steel building is a smart investment for any business, farm, or personal use. Contact us today to learn more about designing your ideal steel building!
Are you struggling to find the best supplier of a red iron, pre-engineered 40x60 steel building? We know it can be tough sorting through all the different companies out there. That's part of the reason we put so much information on our website to help you understand what your getting from Renegade. First and foremost, we only sell pre-engineered steel buildings (no tube steel, quonset huts or pole barns). That is the only structure we have sold during our entire 14 years in business (as of 2024). Our quote also spells out exactly what we are offering along with a true bottom line price. You can even check out our team page to know a little bit more about the project manager you are talking to along with information about our company.
A 40x60 Metal Building is one of the most popular sizes we offer. 2,400 square feet of open, clear span floor space allows you to organize your workshop or garage to fit your needs. Among the various sizes available, the 40x60 stands out as an ideal solution for a wide range of applications for both commercial and residential purposes. Whether your using it for a wood working shop with multiple tools or using it for a home garage to work on your car, truck or motorcycle, you have many options because of this open design.
A 40x60 steel building can be designed with 2-30' bays or more commonly with 3-20' bays. This can allow for 2, 3 or possibly 4 large doors on a sidewall (60' side) depending on the door opening size. You could also place large doors on the endwall (40' side).
The height of a steel building is often referred to as the eave height or the height where the roof meets the sidewall. The minimum height is 10' and can go up from there. Many times, the large door height will dictate the eave height as you typically need 2' minimum clearance above a roll up or panel door. Other items that can necessitate a taller eave height can be automotive lifts, racking or even just aesthetics.
What could you do with 2,400 square feet of space to work with? I know I could put it to good use by having space to work and not have to move everything around. When your work area is cluttered, it can be detrimental to your productivity as well as posing a danger to safety. The picture below is of a basement with about 800 square feet of workspace. In that space is everything from woodworking to automotive and some general storage thrown in here and there. With stuff piled everywhere each project requires moving tools around just to get enough space to work. Over and over everything has to be moved and re-arranged.
With a 40x60 building, you could straighten up everything and have room for project cars, wood working, storage and more. You could even install a car lift to make life a little easier and safer working on cars.

What are you responsible for?
- Verification of local code requirements along with wind and snow loads - While our software pulls up general requirements for a zip code, local municipalities can easily dictate greater load requirements. When working with customers on a nationwide basis, it is nearly impossible for us to know these requirements for any specific location.
- Local permits and inspections - Talking to your local building permit office will give you the info you need in terms of obtaining your permits to build as well as the requirements for the various inspections you may need to obtain your C.O. (certificate of occupancy)
- Concrete - A pre-engineered metal building requires a solid foundation to support the wind, snow and overall loads of your building. We only provide the steel building kit so you will need to contract with a local company to pour your footers, piers and slab.
- Anchor bolts - Anchor bolts are part of the foundation and should be supplied by your local concrete contractor. While the structural engineer designing your building may provide the diameter of the anchor bolt, your location is what determines the length. Southern states don't have to worry about a frost line whereas norther states may see 24", 36" or even deeper frost lines. Your local codes may specify this need.
- Equipment to offload delivery truck - Your building comes loaded on a flatbed semi truck. The driver has no equipment to offload your truck, so you should make arrangements to have a forklift or lull to unload.
- Labor to erect - We only sell the steel building kit - we are not general contractors and don't get involved in the labor to erect. You will need to find a local company to erect your building.
- Equipment for erecting - If you contract an erecting company to put up your building, they should have the equipment necessary to do so. If you are wanting to do it yourself, a variety of equipment from a forklift or lull, to ladders, drills, saws, levels and cutters may be needed.
