Located in a tropical climate zone, Bessemer properties face hurricane-season winds, heavy rainfall, and year-round humidity. Structures delivered here are available with certified wind ratings up to 170 MPH, vertical roof panels for maximum water shedding, and Galvalume Plus steel with a 20-year rust-through warranty against salt-air corrosion.

Before your crew arrives in Bessemer: (1) Choose placement — your building needs at least 2 feet of clearance from property lines (check your local county setback requirements), (2) Prepare the surface — a level concrete pad is ideal, but compacted gravel or earth also works, (3) Mark utilities — know where underground water, gas, sewer, and electrical lines run, (4) Ensure access — the delivery truck needs a clear path at least 12 feet wide. We'll go over all this when you order.
