Free Quick Quote
A 40×60 metal building provides 2,400 square feet of clear-span space, making it one of the most versatile and popular steel building sizes available. These buildings are commonly used for workshops, vehicle and RV storage, agricultural operations, warehouses, and light commercial applications where wide-open interior space is essential.
Renegade Steel Buildings designs pre-engineered red iron steel building kits using heavy-duty I-beam framing — not light-gauge tubing or pole barn construction. Every 40×60 building is engineered to meet your local wind, snow, and seismic requirements, ensuring long-term durability and code compliance.
This size is ideal for customers who need strength, flexibility, and customization without wasted space. If you’re looking for a permanent, low-maintenance steel structure built for real-world use, a 40×60 metal building is a proven solution.
First and foremost, we only sell pre-engineered steel buildings (no tube, quonset huts or pole barns). Pre-engineered I-beam is the only structure we have sold during our entire 15 years in business (as of 2025). 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.
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 sq ft of workspace. In that space is everything from woodworking to automotive and some general storage thrown in. 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 steel garage, you could organize 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.
You would even have enough space to separate the automotive tools from wood working tools and be able to work on several projects at the same time.
If your like most people that have more stuff than you have space for, this size metal building kit is the perfect choice to give you enough room to enjoy your shop again. Of course, you may be a business owner looking for more space as well. A 40x60 offers a great option as either a working automotive shop, office building or storage warehouse.

How much does a 40x60 building cost?
The cost of a 40×60 metal building can vary significantly because each building is custom engineered to your location and intended use. Factors such as building height, structural loads, door sizes, insulation, and regional codes all affect final pricing.
In general, a 40×60 steel building kit typically falls within a broad national range for the building materials alone. This estimate includes the primary steel frame, secondary framing, metal panels, trim, fasteners, and stamped engineered drawings. Concrete foundations, permits, site work, and erection labor are not included in the kit price.
Key factors that influence the cost of a 40×60 metal building include:
- Eave height (taller buildings require more steel)
- Wind, snow, and seismic load requirements
- Roof pitch and panel thickness
- Door and window sizes
- Insulation and interior build-out options
- Delivery location and freight
Because no two projects are the same, Renegade Steel Buildings provides custom quotes based on your exact specifications and jobsite location. This ensures you receive a building that meets code requirements while avoiding unnecessary costs.

What are you responsible for?
While the kit comes with everything you need for the building, there are still some items that you need to address.
- 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. 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 metal building package 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 a local erecting company, 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.

What makes a Renegade Steel Building Different?
PBR panels standard
“PBR” stands for Purlin Bearing Rib. While others may use a standard panel, Renegade uses the “PBR” panel on the roof and walls of our buildings. This gives the system rigidity and weathertightness. Other profiles are available with the purlin bearing system.
Long Life Screws
Renegade’s long-life, self drilling fasteners are cast aluminum zinc with a EPDM sealing washer help enforce the finish warranties and ensure a long lasting, rust free building. We include these on both the roof and walls.
Formed Base Trim
This heavier gauge, one piece system installs quicker and reduces the possibility of problems seen with 2 piece systems as well as supporting your manufacturers warranty on wall panels.
Factory Welded Clips
Clips for the roof purlins and wall girts are factory located and welded saving you time when erecting your building.
Framed Openings
One other BIG difference in a Renegade building is that whenever a customer wants a window, we always include a framed opening. This provides a sturdy and secure structure for the window to attach to. It also provides a better fit for weather tightness. Other companies may take the cheap approach and just sell a window that simply screws into the wall panel.
