#14139 – 44x82x16 Post-Frame Building with Living and Storage Space in Loveland, CO

Steel Structures America built this 44′ × 82′ multi-purpose post-frame building in Loveland, Colorado. Designed as a combination living space, garage, and boat house, the project blends functionality with custom details that make it stand out.

Design & Layout

The main structure features a gable roof with a 6/12 pitch and a tall 16′ eave height, providing plenty of headroom. An 8′ × 82′ wraparound lean-to extends around the living area, adding covered outdoor space. The boat house section measures 16′ × 48′ × 16′, complete with a steep roofline for both style and clearance. Two decorative cupolas with windows top the roofline.
