Customize & Build Your 50×70 Metal Building Online
Every option below is selectable in our free 3D builder or your custom quote. The 50′ x 70′ footprint stays the same. Roof style, leg height, gauge, doors, windows, color, insulation, and certification are all yours to choose.
Leg Height (12′ to 20’+)
The 50×70 footprint stays fixed. Leg height is yours to choose. Equipment storage and fleet buildings commonly use 14′ to 16′. RV, agricultural, and commercial layouts often use 16′ to 20′. Taller engineered heights are available for racking, lifts, or large machinery.
3 Roof Styles
Regular Roof is available on select low-cost structures, A-Frame Horizontal gives a classic boxed-eave look, and Vertical Roof is recommended for the 70′ building length because vertical panels move rain and snow efficiently off the roof.
Roof Pitch & Slope
Standard 3:12 or 4:12 roof pitch depending on configuration. Upgrade to 5:12 for heavy snow regions, stronger drainage, or a steeper commercial appearance. Cool roof coatings are available for hot climates and conditioned spaces.
Frame Gauge (14, 12, or Red Iron)
14-gauge tubing is standard on many tubular-frame builds. 12-gauge is recommended for most 50×70 commercial, agricultural, or high-use buildings. Red iron framing is available for heavy equipment, mezzanines, crane loads, or engineered industrial projects.
Sheet Metal Gauge (29 or 26)
29-gauge sheet metal panels are standard for roof and walls. Upgrade to 26-gauge for hail-prone regions, coastal climates, or commercial applications that need a thicker exterior panel system.
Certification & Engineering
Certified 50×70 buildings come with stamped engineered drawings, foundation plans, and wind/snow calculations matched to your local code. Certification is recommended for commercial, agricultural, and permitted residential accessory buildings.
Roll-Up Garage Doors
Roll-up doors from 8’x8′ up to 16’x16′ are available. Fleet garages often use multiple 12’x12′ or 14’x14′ doors. Agricultural and RV storage buildings may require 14′ or 16′ tall doors for taller equipment.
Walk-In Doors
36″ personnel doors, 4’x7′ commercial doors, double doors, and insulated steel security doors are available. Place doors on front, side, or back walls to match workflow and emergency access needs.
Hydraulic & Rapid Doors
For commercial or agricultural use, choose hydraulic one-piece doors, high-speed rapid-roll doors, sliding barn doors, or dock-ready openings. Auto-lock and remote-controlled opener systems can be added for secure access.
Windows & Skylights
30″x30″, 36″x36″, and 48″x48″ insulated glazing options are available. Add skylights, clerestory windows, or storefront glass for workshops, showrooms, retail use, or conditioned office space.
Framed Openings
Order framed openings for future windows, HVAC penetrations, dock doors, sliding doors, storefront entries, exhaust fans, or future expansion. Framed openings save cutting and structural work later.
Garage Door Openers & Windows
Chain-drive, jackshaft, commercial hoist, or smart Wi-Fi-enabled openers are available. Window kits in roll-up doors add daylight without sacrificing security in fleet, garage, or shop layouts.
17 Standard Color Options
Choose from Barn Red, Beige, Black, Brown, Burgundy, Burnished Slate, Clay, Galvalume, Green, Patriot Red, Pewter Gray, Quaker Gray, Rawhide Tan, Royal Blue, Sandstone, Slate Blue, and White. All colors are available for roof, walls, and trim.
Mix-and-Match Roof, Walls, Trim
Pick a different color for your roof, wall panels, and trim. Popular 50×70 combinations include Pewter Gray walls with Black trim, Galvalume roof with White walls, or Barn Red walls with White trim for agricultural use.
Wainscoting (Two-Tone Walls)
Add wainscoting for a premium two-tone look. A contrasting lower wall panel is useful for retail showrooms, garages, agricultural buildings, and commercial facilities where the lower wall sees more wear.
Galvalume (Bare Metal Finish)
Galvalume is a hot-dipped aluminum-zinc coating with no paint. It is cost-effective, corrosion resistant, and popular for agricultural, industrial, and rural commercial 50×70 buildings.
Painted Trim & Flashings
Color-matched ridge caps, eave trim, corner trim, gable trim, and rake trim ship with your building package. Color-coded screws match your panel choices for a clean finished appearance.
Custom Color Match
Need to match an existing building, franchise palette, farm color, HOA requirement, or municipal standard? Custom paint matching is available for an upcharge. Ask your building advisor for samples and approval documentation.
Insulation Options
Choose single-bubble radiant barrier, double-bubble insulation, fiberglass batt, spray foam, or insulated metal panels. Insulation is recommended for workshops, showrooms, sports facilities, offices, and temperature-sensitive storage.
Lean-To Additions
Add lean-tos on one or more sides of your 50×70 building for trailer staging, hay storage, covered loading, outdoor work areas, livestock shade, firewood, or additional equipment protection.
Mezzanines & Lofts
Add a mezzanine or partial loft for parts storage, office space, inventory, or mechanical systems. Mezzanines require engineering and are best paired with taller leg heights and upgraded framing.
Interior Partitions
Divide the 3,500 sq ft into bays, offices, restrooms, utility rooms, storage zones, or work areas. Steel-stud partitions and insulated interior panels are available for mixed-use commercial layouts.
Trim, Anchors, Gables
Decorative gables, contrasting trim, door surrounds, and color-matched corners create a finished look. Anchoring is selected based on slab, asphalt, dirt, gravel, or engineered foundation requirements.
Flooring Prep
We do not pour foundations, but we guide you on slab specs. A 50×70 often uses a reinforced concrete slab for commercial, garage, or warehouse use. Gravel or compacted dirt may work for open agricultural shelters.
Wind & Snow Certification
Standard ratings commonly start at 115 MPH wind and 35 PSF snow load. Certified upgrades are available up to 170+ MPH wind and 65+ PSF snow load based on your local code and site conditions.
Permit-Ready Drawings
Stamped engineered drawings, foundation plans, and code calculations can be provided for your permit office. Certified 50×70 builds can be matched to IBC, IRC, NEC, IFGC, IECC, and IMC requirements.
Door Locks & Access Control
Slide bolts, deadbolts, keypad entry, smart locks, commercial access control, and Wi-Fi connected opener systems are available. Add auto-lock systems for fleet, warehouse, or business storage use.
Fire Safety & Alarms
Smoke and heat detectors, Class ABC extinguishers, emergency exit signage, fire-rated partitions, and sprinkler-ready framing are available for commercial and institutional 50×70 configurations.
Anchoring System
Concrete wedge anchors, asphalt anchors, mobile-home anchors, auger anchors, or engineered anchor bolt patterns are selected based on your foundation type, wind load, snow load, and local requirements.
Solar & Roof-Top Loads
Engineered framing can support solar panel arrays, rooftop HVAC, vents, fans, satellite equipment, or other rooftop loads. Reinforced roof framing should be specified before order if you plan to add solar or rooftop equipment.
50×70 Metal Building Codes, Permits & Engineering
Every 50×70 prefab steel building can be engineered, stamped, and certified to meet local building codes. Certification is recommended for commercial buildings, agricultural operations, permitted garages, and any structure requiring wind, snow, or foundation calculations.
We also follow plumbing codes, energy conservation standards, ADA requirements when applicable, and any state or local commercial occupancy requirements. Our team helps coordinate code compliance so your 50×70 building is designed for your jurisdiction.
How to Maintain a 50×70 Metal Building

How Much Does a 50×70 Metal Building Cost?
No hidden fees on any 50×70 prefab steel building. A 50×70 open equipment shelter starts around $24,500, an enclosed agricultural or storage building from $34,500, a commercial warehouse from $38,500, and a fully engineered red-iron or insulated commercial build can reach $118,000+ depending on doors, gauge, certification, insulation, and foundation requirements.
Building Configuration
A 50×70 open shelter is the lowest entry point. Fully enclosing the structure adds wall panels, doors, trim, framing, anchors, and labor. Commercial certified builds add engineered drawings and load-specific upgrades.
Your Location
Delivery distance, regional labor rates, local wind and snow loads, permit requirements, and state-specific engineering rules affect the final 50×70 price.
Steel Gauge
14-gauge tubing is available on some configurations. 12-gauge framing is recommended for most 50×70 commercial and agricultural uses. Red iron adds cost but supports heavier loads, mezzanines, and industrial equipment.
Roof Style & Pitch
Vertical Roof costs more than Regular Roof but is strongly recommended for the 70-foot length. Roof pitch upgrades and standing-seam options increase price but improve drainage, appearance, and commercial performance.
Certification
Certified buildings with engineered, stamped drawings cost more but are required by many counties for commercial, agricultural, or large accessory buildings. Certification helps with permits, inspections, and insurance.
Doors, Windows, Insulation
Large roll-up doors, dock openings, walk-in doors, storefront glass, windows, skylights, and insulation packages are major price variables. Commercial door arrays can significantly increase total project cost.
50×70 Metal Building Complete Price Range
Range covers an open equipment shelter at the low end through a fully enclosed commercial-certified 50×70 building with 12-gauge or red-iron upgrades, insulation, large commercial doors, stamped engineered drawings, and higher wind or snow ratings at the high end.
