Product Description
Product Overview
The 40×60×12 Insulated Steel Workshop Kit is a large, Canadian made workshop designed for customers who need a warm, comfortable, year round workspace with wide clear-span space and strong structural performance. This building is well suited for woodworking, fabrication, mechanical repairs, equipment storage, and light commercial use. Built with high strength Canadian steel, it delivers reliable performance in real Canadian weather and supports insulation levels up to R 60 for efficient heating.
Manufactured in Barrie, Ontario, each building is engineered by our Canadian engineering team to meet the National Building Code of Canada along with the snow and wind loads required for your location. Certified stamped structural and foundation drawings are included to support a smooth permitting process and predictable construction timeline.

Why This Size Works
The 40×60 layout offers a large clear-span interior with room to separate work areas, machinery bays, storage zones, and tool sections. The insulated design supports heating and helps maintain comfortable year round working conditions. The 12 foot wall height provides excellent vertical clearance for overhead equipment, tall shelving, and large machinery. This size is popular for customers who want space to work comfortably without moving into a very tall commercial building.
Engineering and Durability
This workshop is Canadian engineered and made from high strength Canadian steel. The rigid I beam structure is designed to handle the snow loads, wind exposure, and climate conditions of your area. The 26 gauge steel wall and roof panels protect against rain, snow, wind, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature changes. Insulation systems up to R 60 help control condensation and energy use for heated shops.
Installation
All building components are shipped pre cut, pre punched, and labelled to make installation efficient. Many customers hire a local builder, while others assemble the structure with their own team. Foundation and installation guidance is available based on your region.
