40' Wide Steel Buildings
A 40' wide steel building gives you more usable width than a 30' building while maintaining the open interior that makes pre-engineered steel buildings useful for vehicles, equipment, workshops, storage and business applications. Renegade offers several popular 40' wide configurations, including 40x40, 40x50, 40x60, 40x75, 40x80 and 40x100 steel buildings.
A 40' width can be especially useful when you need more room to arrange vehicles, equipment, work areas or storage side-by-side. The additional width can also give you more flexibility when planning overhead doors, workspaces, storage areas and future uses.
The sizes shown below are common configurations, not limitations. Because Renegade steel buildings are pre-engineered for the individual project, the length, height, openings and other features can be designed around your property and intended use.
Compare 40' Wide Steel Buildings Sizes
| Building Size | Approx. Floor Space | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 40x40 Steel Building | 1,600 sq. ft. | Garage, Workshop, equipment and general storage |
| 40x50 Steel Building | 2,000 sq. ft. | Large garage, workshop, equipment storage, small business |
| 40x60 Steel Building | 2,400 sq. ft. | Workshop, vehicles, RVs, equipment, commercial use |
| 40x80 Steel Building | 3,200 sq. ft. | Large shop, warehouse, equipment and business use |
| 40x100 Steel Building | 4,000 sq. ft. | Commercial, agricultural, warehouse and large equipment use |
40x40 Steel Building
A 40x40 provides approximately 1,600 square feet while keeping the overall building footprint relatively compact. It can work well when you want the additional width of a 40' building without the length of the larger configurations.

40x50 Steel Building
With approximately 2,000 square feet, a 40x50 provides additional room for vehicles, equipment, workspace and storage without moving into the larger footprint of a 40x60 or longer building.

Why Choose a 40' Wide Steel Building?
Choosing the right width is one of the first decisions to make when planning a steel building. A 40' width provides more lateral space than a 30' building, which can make it easier to arrange vehicles, equipment, work areas and storage within the building.
Width can be especially important when the building will have multiple vehicles, large equipment, workstations or storage areas that need to operate alongside one another. A 40' clear-span interior can also provide flexibility for future changes to how the building is used.
If your property allows the additional width, a 40' building can provide a different type of usable space than simply making a 30' building longer. The best choice depends on what you need to put inside the building, how the doors will be arranged and what space is available on your property.
What Can You Use a 40' Wide Steel Building For?
The 40' width provides enough room for a wide range of residential, agricultural and commercial applications.
Common applications include:
- Garages and vehicle storage
- Automotive and mechanical workshops
- RV and trailer storage
- Equipment storage
- Farm and agricultural buildings
- Contractor shops
- Warehouses and inventory storage
- Manufacturing and fabrication
- Commercial workspace
- Small business facilities
- Mixed-use buildings combining workspace, storage and office areas
The right configuration depends on what you plan to put inside the building. Vehicle dimensions, equipment height, work areas, storage racks, overhead doors and possible future expansion should all be considered before selecting the final dimensions.
40' Wide Steel Buildings Can Be Customized
The six sizes shown above are common configurations rather than limits on what Renegade can provide. A pre-engineered steel building can be designed around the requirements of your property and intended use.
Depending on the building design, options can include:
- Building height
- Roof pitch
- Overhead and roll-up doors
- Walk doors
- Windows
- Insulation
- Gutters and downspouts
- Roof extensions
- Wainscot
- Building colors
- Open bays
- Lean-to additions
- Other framed openings and accessories
Door placement and other framed openings should be considered early in the design process because they can affect the structural design and bracing of the building.
Standard Renegade Steel Building Features
Renegade pre-engineered steel buildings are designed as complete building systems rather than simply metal panels over a basic frame.
Standard features can include:
- Red iron I-beam mainframe construction
- Clear-span design
- 26-gauge PBR roof and wall panels
- Galvalume roof panels
- Long-life fasteners
- Steel secondary framing
- Deluxe trim
- Formed ridge cap
- Structural nuts and bolts
- Engineer-stamped building drawings
- Design based on the building location
40' Wide Steel Building Cost
There is no single price for a 40' wide steel building. The final cost depends on the building's dimensions, location, structural requirements and options.
Factors that can affect the price include:
- Building size and height
- Wind, snow and seismic requirements
- Roof design and panel options
- Number and size of framed openings
- Overhead and walk doors
- Windows
- Insulation
- Wainscot
- Roof extensions
- Gutters and downspouts
- Shipping and delivery
- Other customization
Because these factors vary from one project to another, the price of a 40x40 should not be assumed to apply to a 40x100 or to a different location. The most useful way to determine your actual cost is to have the building designed around your requirements and receive a project-specific quote.

Designed for Your Location
Every steel building project has its own structural requirements. Wind speed, exposure, snow load, seismic requirements and local building codes can affect the engineering of a 40' wide building. Your location can also affect shipping and other project costs.
Renegade designs each building around the requirements of the individual project rather than treating every location as though it has the same structural conditions.
Before ordering a building, check with your local building department to determine the applicable permitting and code requirements for your property.
