Custom Steel Structures by Steel Structures America
Metal buildings in Colorado are built for one of the most demanding environments in the country. Front Range wind gusts that exceed 115 miles per hour. Snow loads that vary dramatically between a sheltered valley and an exposed Palmer Divide ridgeline. Freeze-thaw cycles driven by Colorado’s elevation and temperature swings that test every structural connection over time. If your metal building is going to perform in Colorado, it has to be engineered for Colorado specifically. Steel Structures America has been designing and building custom metal buildings across the state since 1995, with two Colorado offices, in Monument at 18910 Base Camp Rd and Longmont at 9518 I-25 Frontage Rd, covering the Front Range from Colorado Springs to the Northern Front Range.
With more than 15,000 completed buildings across Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming, SSA brings the depth of regional experience that a distant kit company or an online retailer cannot match. Our Monument office serves Colorado Springs, El Paso County, and the territory south of Denver. Our Longmont office covers the Denver metro, Weld County, Larimer County, and the surrounding region. When you call SSA, you are calling a team with Colorado offices and Colorado crews.
Why Post Frame
Why Colorado Property Owners Choose Metal Buildings
Post-frame construction, commonly called pole barns or metal buildings, is one of the most cost-efficient and versatile ways to put up a large structure in Colorado. The method uses large wood columns anchored in the ground or on concrete piers rather than a traditional continuous foundation, which means less concrete, faster construction timelines, and wide-open clear-span interiors without interior posts eating up usable space. For Colorado property owners, this matters for a lot of reasons:
Built for Colorado Weather
A building on the open Eastern Plains near Greeley faces very different wind exposure from one in a sheltered draw in El Paso County, and SSA’s engineering reflects that difference
Fully Custom
Every SSA building is designed from scratch. Size, layout, siding, roofing, overhead doors, insulation, lofts, lean-tos, and more are all specified to fit your property and your goals.
Efficient Build Process
Pre-engineered components and in-house manufacturing streamline construction and reduce delays compared to traditional home builds.
Better Long-term Value
Lower maintenance, durable materials, and efficient construction make post-frame a smarter long-term investment than stick built.
Low Maintenance
No painting, no rot, no termites. Steel structures require virtually zero maintenance year after year.
Purpose Flexibility
Every SSA building is designed from scratch. Size, layout, siding, roofing, overhead doors, insulation, lofts, lean-tos, and more are all specified to fit your property and your goals.
What We Build
Metal Building Types for Colorado Properties
Not every Colorado property owner needs the same thing, which is exactly why SSA designs
each building from scratch rather than dropping a cookie-cutter kit on your lot.
Here is a look at the most common types of pole barn projects we build across the state.
| Building Type | Common Sizes | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby Shop / Toy Storage | 30x40 to 50x80 | RVs, boats, ATVs, side-by-sides, classic cars, home workshops |
| Contractor Shop | 40x60 to 80x120 | Work trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, attached office space |
| Agricultural Barn | 40x60 to 100x200+ | Tractors, combines, hay storage, livestock, farm equipment |
| Barndominium / Shouse | 1,500 to 4,000+ sq ft | Combined home and shop space, rural living with large garage |
| Commercial / Mini Storage | 50x100 to 100x300+ | Self-storage, warehouses, contractor yards, light industrial |
| Garage + Shop Combo | 30x40 to 40x80 | Home garage with workshop space, detached garages with lofts |
Built for How You Actually Use It
Whether you want open living space, room for a workshop, or a place to
combine both, your building is designed around how you will use it.
Open Living, Done Right
Spacious layouts with room to breathe. Design kitchens, living areas, and gathering spaces without the constraints of traditional floor plans.
No Layout Restrictions
Wide clear spans give you full control over your interior. Add rooms, expand spaces, or keep it open. The layout is entirely up to you.
Live + Work Under One Roof
Seamlessly combine living space with a shop, garage, or workspace. All designed to function together without compromise.
Stop Guessing. Start Building.
Most people don’t know where to start. That’s exactly why we built our process the way we did.
We walk you through design, pricing, engineering, and construction step by step so you always know what’s next and what it costs.
No confusion. No handoffs. No surprises.

Customer Reviews
Trusted by Thousands
Hear from real customers who chose Steel Structures America for their metal building design and construction.
“Had a great experience with Craig O’Neal. He’s really great at showing how the structure will look, I was impressed with how quickly he can make modifications to the structure on his laptop so we have an excellent idea of what the final product will look like. Craig is knowledgeable and straightforward about the costs and the timeline. Total Pro!”

Colorado Service Area
Metal Buildings in Colorado Springs and the Monument Corridor
SSA’s Monument office at 18910 Base Camp Rd places our team at the heart of the Colorado Springs and southern Front Range metal building market. El Paso County is one of the most active building counties in Colorado, and the Monument corridor — positioned between Colorado Springs and the Douglas County / Castle Rock market to the north — is a particularly active area for contractor shops, hobby buildings, equestrian facilities, and barndominium construction on rural El Paso County acreage.
The engineering demands in this market are real. Wind exposure on the Palmer Divide, where Monument sits at over 7,000 feet, can be significant. Snow loads in the foothill areas west of Colorado Springs differ from those on the plains to the east. SSA engineers every Colorado Springs and Monument area metal building to the specific demands of its site, not to a generic El Paso County average.
Monument and Colorado Springs
Snow loads vary by elevation and site. SSA uses Colorado -licensed engineers and the Ground Snow Loads for Colorado reference to correctly calculate structural requirements for every Monument build.
Longmont and the Denver Metro
Our Longmont office the Colorado Springs market and southern Front Range. We have extensive experience with the specific code and climate requirements of Colorado.

Metal Buildings in Longmont and the Denver / Northern Front Range
SSA’s Longmont office at 9518 I-25 Frontage Rd serves the Denver metro, Weld County, Larimer County, and the broader Northern Front Range. The Longmont office covers one of the most economically active construction markets in the country, where commercial and industrial metal building demand tracks the region’s ongoing population and business growth.
Weld County is a particularly significant market for agricultural and commercial metal buildings. The county’s combination of large-scale irrigation farming, dryland wheat and corn operations, and significant oil and gas industry creates demand for equipment storage, industrial facilities, and agricultural buildings across a wide range of sizes and configurations. SSA’s Longmont team serves Weld County agricultural operations, contractors, and commercial buyers with the same individually engineered approach we bring to every project.
Building Options
Customize Your Colorado Metal Building
One of the advantages of working with SSA is the depth of customization available. Your building isn’t a catalog item, it’s a custom structure designed around your land, your use case, and your budget. Here is a look at what you can specify.
Metal Siding and Roofing
SSA owns Metal America and offers more than 50 colors and specialty finishes for metal siding and roofing. This includes standard painted steel in colors from ash gray to charcoal, as well as specialty printed finishes including barnwood, brick, and other decorative options. Two-tone combinations with wainscot accents are popular in Colorado and give buildings a finished, polished look.
Overhead Doors
Your overhead door configuration matters as much as your building dimensions. SSA owns Garage Door Design to supply Therma Tech insulated steel doors and other options in sizes from standard residential widths up to doors large enough for combines and big rig trucks. Matching painted finishes keep your building looking clean and intentional.
Perma-Column Foundations
SSA is a Perma-Column partner, offering precast concrete column foundations as an alternative to traditional buried wood posts. Perma-Column eliminates wood-to-soil contact, which is the primary cause of post rot and structural failure in post-frame buildings over time. If you want a building that holds up for generations without foundation concerns, Perma-Column is worth a conversation.
Lean-Tos and Additions
Many Colorado metal buildings include lean-tos on one or both sides for additional covered storage, a sheltered equipment staging area, or a covered porch on a barndominium. SSA designs and builds lean-to additions as part of the original structure or as additions to existing buildings.
Lofts and Interior Finishing
For shop and barndominium projects, SSA can include loft floors, interior wall systems, insulation, and finished interior spaces. If you want a shop with a finished office or apartment above, or a barndominium with a modern interior finish package, we design that into the building from the start.
Insulation Systems
For shops, garages, and living spaces in Colorado’s climate, proper insulation is critical. SSA offers spray foam, fiberglass, and rigid board options appropriate for your building’s use.
