Steel building (20' x 60') kit for sale...

Steel building (20' x 60') kit for sale...  This kit was made by U.S. Buildings about 10 years ago, and has never been assembled.  It's in excellent condition, almost like new.  Once assembled, my kit would look much like the building in the photo at right, except that my kit includes two solid steel end-walls and an extra-large hinged steel door (not a roll-up) for one end.  These end-walls can be easily modified for whatever kind of openings you want.  My kit also includes three fiberglass skylights that replace three of the steel roof panels.

The kit is currently sitting in my yard (see photos below), in Lawson Valley (about 5 miles east of Jamul town).  The manufacturer is still in business, and still offers the same model (so support and parts are readily available).  My kit is for a model “A”, and it is 20' wide and 12'3" high in the center.  The building comes in any length that's an increment of 2', and my kit is for a 60' length.  You could purchase more sections from the manufacturer to make it even longer.

The building is designed to be mounted on a concrete pad, and California-approved engineering drawings and a construction manual are included.  There's also several buckets of special neoprene-gasketed nuts and bolts (more than should be needed).  The photos below show all the parts stacked on two racks I built for the purpose (they're included if you buy the kit from me).

The kit originally cost me just over $12,000 ten years ago.  The first offer over $8,000 takes the kit immediately; otherwise the highest offer we receive before June 30 gets it.  American cash only, please, unless we already know you.

  1. Brings back memories, looking at that pile. My dad built a similar barn, with help from my brothers and me. I calculated about 6000 bolts for our barn. I own the land and barn now - had to keep that in the family. I'm a bit disappointed to hear about its poor fire resistance. Like you, I assumed that it would hold up better than that.
