People worldwide are considering prefabricated steel structures as a solution for recreational buildings; why? Metal buildings are known for their versatility, durability, and convenience. But how much are they compatible with the recreational structures?
There are several reasons that prefab structures become the primary choice of people, but first, you need to know what recreational structures are. These structures can be defined as facilities specifically designed for entertainment or community purposes.
It would be wise to get all the information about prefab recreational buildings before buying them.
Recreational buildings’ structural requirements differ from commercial, residential, and industrial facilities. It is essential for you to assess the structural suitability of prefab metal buildings for amusement facilities.
All the structural requirements of these facilities can be classified into three categories:
Before purchasing any steel structure, you must go through these requirements.
Knowing the size requirement of the facility is one of the most fundamental things to start with. The size of a structure entirely depends on its end purpose. Finding adequate size required for the recreational metal building will help you plan out everything.
Viking Steel Structures offer a wide range of metal buildings, from standard prefab structures to extensive commercial facilities. You can buy a standard or commercial metal building based on your requirements or convenience. You can also go for custom metal building range if you need a facility with specific measurements.
Flooring and zoning requirements also depend on your convenience and purpose of the facility. These requirements are not constant for all structures; they may differ based on functional and operational requirements.
There is no limitation on the type of floor you want to use for your recreational structure. With this liberty, you can go for any flooring type for the facility. For example, epoxy flooring is the best for community halls, whether indoor sports complexes are effective with hardwood or timber flooring.
Convenience is one of the most critical factors when it comes to recreational facilities. You can leverage the following advantages by purchasing metal buildings for recreational purposes.
All the steel structures offered by Viking Steel Structures are made of 100% rust-proof galvanized steel suitable for all weather conditions. With 12 and 14-gauge steel configurations, these structures can survive various calamities, including heavy rain, windstorms, hailstorms, and extreme temperatures.
It is recommended to prefer 12-gauge steel for adequate protection from environmental factors. With the load-bearing capability, strength-to-weight ratio, and flexibility of galvanized steel, you can design a commercial clear-span facility which is the primary requirement of a recreational building.
Steel is a non-combustible material, and its melting temperature is also high. If counted in numbers, the melting temperature of steel structure is more than double of wildfire temperature. Compared to the traditional wooden structure, the possibility of fire hazard risk is minimum for prefab steel structures.
Steel structures are the perfect solution for recreational buildings in areas prone to wildfire or bushfire. Metal buildings designed with Class A fire rating are best for states like California, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Oregon.
Maintenance is one of the most challenging tasks in the case of large traditional wooden structures in terms of cost and time. There is no such hassle involved in the maintenance of steel structures.
Even for the large metal structure, the maintenance task is relatively easier. Mostly, the functions included in the maintenance of metal buildings are cleaning, building inspection, and minor repair if required.
Because of the cost-effective and easy maintenance process, selecting commercial metal buildings for recreational purposes is much more efficient.
Unlike other construction materials, steel does not shrink due to temperature changes. With high ductility, flexibility, and load-handling capacity, structures made of galvanized steel are highly durable and long-lasting. Prefab steel structures can undergo any abnormal external forces without any significant damage.
