The two biggest advantages to purchasing kit buildings are low cost and quick construction. They can be bought for cheap and erected in time to meet whatever pressing needs have come your way. While they may not have certain structural advantages found in more traditional buildings, many of the most obvious disadvantages can be overcome with a few creative additions. Let’s take a look at a few of these disadvantages and see what solutions we can come up with.
Most kit buildings tend to use metal, specifically steel, as the primary material in their construction. While this is fantastic in terms of structure and durability, it offers little in the way of insulation against both cold and heat. Fortunately, this can be remedied simply by inserting your own insulation. Depending on your needs, it is possible to insulate a kit building further even than a more traditional style. Insulation can easily be purchases from your local hardware store.
One of the biggest problems with kits is that they aren’t easily customized for non-flat terrain. If you need to build the building on any sort of uneven incline or hill, it’s going to be incredibly difficult. While there is no way to completely eliminate the hassle from this inherent element of mass-production, if you’re handy with metal, you manually adjust the length of certain supports to absorb the ground changes. This will take some concentration and precision, but it can be done and doesn’t require any sort of extensive training or experience.
This isn’t a problem for all kit buildings, but many suffer from a relatively low durability standard relative to other construction designs. As a general rule, opt for metal as the primary construction material in your kit buildings. This will allow for maximum durability in addition to providing the best structure and support.
