Hurricane-Proofing Your Property: The Advantages of Metal Buildings in Florida
When you think of Florida, also known as the Sunshine State, you may envision sunny days, clear blue skies, and beautiful beaches, making it the perfect vacation destination. But beyond its tropical allure, Florida is a hub of economic activity and a prime destination for entrepreneurs and businesses.
It is no secret that Florida has seen significant growth in various industries, including aerospace, life sciences, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, homeland security, and information technology (each of which necessitates superior metal buildings).
Entrepreneurs and business leaders have been attracted to the state’s competitive tax climate and regulations, making it a great place to start and grow a business.
The need for sturdy and easy-to-build buildings has risen in Florida. A lot of benefits have been associated with sturdier metal buildings. Metal buildings are pretty resistant to destruction by rodents and termites. Treated metal buildings are also resistant to rust, which is the most noticeable impediment to metal buildings.
Metal buildings have a firm anchorage on the ground, with strong beams and poles, which makes them able to resist destruction from strong winds and other harsh weather conditions. Increase in property value, and landowners have engaged in a search to find cost-effective ways to build structures for both storage and revenue generation. The timing of the hurricane season is another factor that drives many Florida residents to construct metal buildings that will protect their valuables from destruction.

Metal Building Regulation In Florida
- Florida offers some of the most beautiful landscapes and weather for setting up a business, but did you know that the state of Florida ranks 45th in the United States in terms of average wind speed?
- But don’t let that discourage you from starting a business here because Florida also has stringent metal building codes that are designed to ensure safety and structural integrity.
- Specifically, regarding metal buildings, Florida has precise regulations covering everything from designing to construction and even demolition of public and private buildings.
- To begin with, companies that build metal buildings must ensure that the buildings are up to standard A653 of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This is inclusive of the structural steel components needed to be in compliance with the International standards S100-14 or ANSI/AISC 360-11.
- The building must also have a fire sprinkler system that has passed the National Fire Protection Association independent test.
- For your protection, these codes are distributed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
- Other regulations are that the metal buildings must have access doors, and if they are not climate controlled from the inside, they must have windows at least two feet from the exterior wall outlets.
Don’t fret; as a leading metal building supplier (since 2002) in the state, we are well-versed in these regulations, and our team ensures that all the materials we use meet the highest ASTM standards.
So when you choose us to build your metal building, you can rest easy knowing that it will be (erected) in compliance with all the codes, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Finance Your Metal Building in Florida
When it comes to financing your metal building project in Florida, there are plenty of options to choose from, such as:
- A traditional route like banks and mortgages
- Government loans, leasing, and personal loans
- Specialized options like USDA agriculture loans and manufacturing financing
- And if you’re a homeowner, don’t forget to check out options using your home equity line of credit or home equity loan
The key is to explore all your options and pick the one that makes the most sense for you (and your pocket) and your metal building project. And don’t worry; with little patience and exploratory work, you’re sure to find the perfect financing solution that’ll have you breaking ground in no time!

- Make cleaning a breeze with a trusty pressure washer, perfect for removing dirt and grime.
- Stay on top of dirt buildup by periodically inspecting your building and wiping it down as needed.
- Prevent mold and rust from taking over your roof by keeping it clear of debris, especially in tree-covered areas
- Ensuring the stability of the building is of paramount importance. To that end, it is recommended to consistently check the condition of the structural connections, such as screws and bolts. Any loose connections should be immediately addressed by tightening or anchoring as appropriate to maintain the structural soundness of your metal building.
