Forum about portable garages
More metal is recycled annually than glass, paper, aluminum and plastic combined, which amounts to approximately sixty million tons per year! A better idea of the environmetal benefits can be seen if you consider that you can build a 2,000 square foot home from the metal of six recycled cars. With wood, you would need to cut down forty to fifty trees to build a dwelling of comparable size with wood! Physical health and safety for humans also rank high with metal buildings. First of all, metal is less likely to mold or attract mildew like organic building materials. Due to the fact that metals can be galvanized, they will not rust. Both of the aforementioned aspects lend themselves to better air quality within metal buildings, superior to what you will find in most wood buildings.
