Why This Size Works
The 20×30 layout gives homeowners and small businesses a well-balanced workspace without requiring a large building footprint. The 12 foot wall height provides extra clearance for tall shelving, tool storage, machinery, and larger equipment. The clear-span interior keeps the workshop open and flexible, allowing customers to set up benches, equipment, and storage exactly how they want.
This size is ideal for customers who want a functional workshop that can be heated, well-lit, and used year round.
Engineering and Durability
This building is Canadian made and Canadian engineered using high strength Canadian steel. The rigid frame structure is designed for your site’s snow load and wind exposure. The 26 gauge exterior steel protects against rain, snow, wind, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature changes. Insulation options up to R 60 help control condensation and maintain indoor comfort for year round workshop use.
Installation
All building components arrive pre cut, pre punched, and clearly labelled for efficient installation. Many customers work with a local contractor, while others assemble the structure with a small crew. Foundation and installation support is available based on your location.
