Extra Large Sheds & Storage Buildings
Allied Steel Buildings are a fast-track method to construct strong, durable, and cost-effective large storage buildings. The versatility of our large shed kits provides for all your outdoor storage needs — an extra-large garden shed, large work shed, or large metal storage shed.
Applications – Why Build an Extra-Large Shed?
A giant shed provides space to store lawn equipment, beach chairs, tools, bikes, and more, helping to declutter your home and garage. An extra-large shed can also serve other purposes besides storage — barns, workshops, hobby houses, greenhouses, and more.
The Best Way to Build Extra Large Sheds & Storage Buildings
Building a long-lasting, high-quality extra-large shed or storage building involves planning and research so your new outbuilding’s design will fit your current and future needs.
Pre-Planning and Preparing for Constructing a Big Storage Building
Pre-planning and preparing for building your huge shed will help to ensure it meets all your expectations. These four questions will help pinpoint what you need from your future oversized shed:
- How do you plan to use the shed, and how much space will you need?
- What design features will the shed need to accommodate its use?
- How much can you spend on the shed?
- Will you DIY or hire a professional.?
Once you have the answers to these questions, you can start preparing the site and picking the best material for your shed.
Material Selection for Big Storage Sheds
Selecting high-quality materials for extra-large storage sheds will ensure a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing outbuilding for years to come. It should also allow for fast construction, lessening labor costs, and more quickly providing your much-needed storage space.

Why Allied Steel Building is the Best Choice for Large Sheds
Allied Steel Building Kits feature clear span framing, allowing for a column-free interior, maximizing the interior square footage. Building with prefabricated steel building systems (PEB) will save money and time. It will also produce durable, low-maintenance, and sustainable large sheds or barns. Allied Steel products provide significant design versatility.
Cost-Savings
Allied Steel Buildings lessens building costs by efficiently managing the supply chain, from securing materials to manufacturing to assembly, with the goal of saving our customers on the final cost of building a warehouse.
- Allied Steel Buildings buys steel in bulk, qualifying for a discount to pass down to clients.
- Precision-cut Allied Steel Buildings minimize jobsite waste, lowering material cost.
Allied Steel Pre-Engineered Buildings quicken delivery time (which lessens labor costs) by precisely cutting each piece to accurately fit with others, creating an efficient building method that ensures a smooth building with clean lines.
Shortened Building Timeline
Prefabricated Allied Steel Building Kits arrive at the job site ready to assemble in cold and hot weather. Assembling and erecting a steel structure takes about 33 percent less time than other construction methods.
Durable Allied Steel PEB Structures
Manufacturing of PEBs occurs in a controlled setting, ensuring a durable, long-lasting, and high-quality product.
Building a long-lasting PEB roof involves attaching clips to the main steel, then connecting to the roof. Next, a machine seals the roof to the clips, allowing it to contract and expand in order to stand up to severe wind conditions.
Low-Maintenance Allied Steel PEB
Rust- and corrosion-resistant steel creates virtually maintenance-free PEBs that will maintain their appearance throughout the life of the building.
Sustainable Allied Steel PEB
Manufacturers use recycled content to make sustainable PEB, minimizing its environmental impact, making PEBs ideal for green construction.
The Versatility of Allied Steel PEB
Pre-engineered doesn’t have to mean dull or cookie-cutter. PEB makes several design options for roof systems and wall panels, depending on your needs. Typically, PEB uses a standard seam roof, but an architectural firm specializing in PEBs can help you customize a roof to meet your needs.
Site Selection for Building Extra-Large Metal Sheds
Only build sheds on stable, level, and dry sites, free of overhanging branches. Never build on low-lying locations.
Foundation for a Big Metal Shed
Large metal sheds require solid, long-lasting foundations that set the shed off the ground, aiding in water drainage and lessening moisture infiltration like all extra-large storage buildings.
FAQs
1. What size shed requires a permit?
The 2021 International Building Code (IBC 105.2) does not require a permit for one-story detached structures (large yard sheds, big metal storage sheds, very large garden sheds, etc.) 120 sq ft (11 m2) and smaller.
2. How much does a large shed cost?
Allied Steel Buildings make pricing easy for sheds less than 2200 sq ft. For instance, a 30-foot-wide, 40-foot-long, and 12-foot-high shed, with a roof pitch of 1.5/12, with an 8-foot by 10-foot opening, would cost about $22,000. However, for extra-large metal sheds, the costs range between $12 to $19 per sq ft, depending on design, steel prices, and labor costs.
You will also need a poured concrete foundation for your big shed kit, costing $3.85 to $7 per sq ft.
3. Can I insulate my large metal garden shed?
Yes, you can insulate any big outdoor shed with several insulation products. Insulating your shed will reduce condensation and the growth of damaging and unhealthy mold. The insulation will also minimize external noise, creating a more peaceful indoor environment.
In addition, Allied Steel Buildings makes insulated metal panels for sheds over 5,000 sq ft. These panels increase the R-value of the shed’s wall, improving the energy efficiency while meeting the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code requirements.
4. Can I match the color of my large storage building to my house?
Yes. To ensure a practical and aesthetically pleasing outbuilding, Allied Steel Buildings offers many standard and custom colors, along with your choice of clear coat: gloss, satin, or matte.
