Storage Galore
Storage is important because you want to have what you need nearby. Rental storage facilities may be located across town, which is more than a little inconvenient. When you have proper storage on your site, you don’t have to worry about what you’re leaving out to weather the storm. Plus, you don’t have to deal with cramped quarters because of not having sufficient space.
If you buy a cabin in Minnesota or Wisconsin, for example, it might not have the space you truly want. Especially if you have a bunch of toys, space is important. Rather than having to spend more on real estate that’s going to give you space, the easier solution is to opt for a steel building that you can customize to meet your needs.
Do you need to be able to drive in a boat or a few ATVs? Do you need room for a tractor? Creating the storage that you need is a common reason for people to build an outbuilding on their property.
Outbuildings: Man Caves and She Sheds
Everyone wants to have some personal space away from the house. There have been man caves for quite a while, which are generally basements or dens. However, women have been speaking out about having their own space, too. This is where the she shed idea has come from. When you don’t have the room inside of your home, it’s easy to turn to outbuildings as the solution.
Think about the perk of being able to build a pole building in your backyard in Texas. It can contain all of your favorite things, such as a TV, sports memorabilia, and a kegerator. Or, it could be a greenhouse, a place to drink wine with the girls, or practice yoga. Either way, it can be turned into a man cave or she shed to the point of it being able to protect you from the weather and insulate you when it gets cold outside.
Don’t think of it as a temporary building. Sherman Pole Buildings have been used as a quality building solution for over 40 years. It can end up being your home away from home, even if it’s only a few paces away from where your actual home stands.
Self-Starter Restaurants
Many chefs have the dream of opening their own restaurant. However, with the cost of commercial real estate on the rise, it’s important for them to think outside the box. Food trucks are fun, but they require being driven around all over town.
An easier solution is to have a pole shed constructed to become a food kiosk. These can be as spacious as needed and crafted to include an order window and more. It will make it easier for chefs to get the word out about their amazing food while being smarter about how much they spend on the real estate component.
Windows, walk-in doors and more can be included so that you can even invite guests into your shed for a bite to eat. Maybe you’ll also be brewing your own beer in the shed behind? If so, you’ll want a bar for people to sit at. It’s all about getting creative, and plenty of buildings can be constructed.
Chefs often look for ways to stand out from the crowd. Many do this with their food. Others do it by the atmosphere. There’s nothing more intriguing than serving food out of a pole shed, which is why it’s just crazy enough of an idea to actually work.
Craft Centers
Pinspiration and other craft centers are popping up all over the place as people want to become craftier. While many people say they are crafty, most people want to be guided through a project to make sure it turns out properly.
Outbuildings can be constructed to become craft centers. There’s as much room as you need, with supply storage, tables for everyone who is there to learn, and room for demonstrations to take place. Whether it’s painting on canvas, sewing a quilt, or recycling a wooden crate, the art projects that can take place inside of a shed are endless.
When you’re an entrepreneur and a serial crafter, opening up a craft center can be a great thing. Metal pole buildings have been turned into all sorts of things, including airplane hangars and riding arenas. So, the idea of using one as a craft center isn’t that crazy.
Top Franchises
If you’ve dreamed of being a business owner but don’t want to start from the ground and work your way up, top franchises should be explored. Outbuildings have been turned into commercial buildings for years. Using a metal pole barn as a place to open a franchise can be a great way to keep the cost of your space lower.
Whether you decide to open a barbershop, a smoothie bar, a fitness center, or even a tutoring center, you need a place that will be your base of operations. Sure, you could choose a strip mall. Then again, you could find a plot of land to rent or buy and plop a steel building down to carry out your dream of being a franchise owner. You don’t have to worry about the neighbors. There’s also the benefit of being able to create your own parking lot. Like the saying goes: If you build it, they will come.
