Why This Size Works
The 30×40 footprint offers a strong combination of width and depth for multi-purpose workshop layouts. The 12 foot wall height provides excellent vertical clearance for machinery, tall shelving, and overhead equipment. The clear-span interior allows full layout freedom with no posts or interior barriers. This size works well for users who need significant work area without stepping into a large commercial footprint.
Engineering and Durability
This workshop is Canadian engineered and manufactured using high strength Canadian steel. The rigid I beam frame is designed to handle the snow loads, wind exposure, and climate conditions of your location. The 26 gauge steel exterior provides dependable protection from rain, snow, wind, UV exposure, and year round temperature changes. Optional insulation up to R 60 supports heated and year round use.

All building components are pre cut, pre punched, and labelled for efficient assembly. Many customers hire a contractor, while others assemble the workshop with a small crew. Foundation and installation guidance is available depending on your region.
