Portable garages What the media say
Due to the fact that steel can weigh nearly half as much as the wood you would need for a similarly sized structure, it can be less costly to ship or transport. Best of all, steel is completely recyclable. About sixty millions tons of steel is recycled annually, which exceeds that of glass, aluminum, plastic and paper combined! To build a 2,000 square foot dwelling from wood you would need to harvest 40 to 50 trees, whereas buildings of the same size in steel would only require six recycled cars! Steel buildings also score high on the physical health and safety scales. For one, steel is less conducive to mildews and mold than wood buildings. Steel does not rust due to the galvanization process.
