The 40x50x12 commercial metal building from Wise Metal Buildings is a rugged, multi-use structure designed to support a wide variety of storage and operational needs. Whether you’re parking side-by-sides, securing boats and trailers, or setting up a small shop area, this structure offers ample space and dependable protection with a clean, professional appearance. It’s built for long-term value and visual appeal, making it ideal for both residential and commercial properties.

Designed for Recreational and Equipment Storage

The spacious 40-foot width and 50-foot depth create an open floor plan capable of housing everything from four-wheelers and off-road vehicles to utility trailers and small tractors. The 12-foot leg height adds significant clearance for loading taller equipment or installing vertical storage along the walls. Many customers choose this layout to consolidate large equipment, seasonal vehicles, and day-to-day storage needs into one secure space.

• 40-foot width: Wide enough to allow multiple lanes of vehicle or equipment access
• 50-foot depth: Supports extended trailers, multiple vehicles, or a combination of storage and workspace
• 12-foot height: Offers generous headroom for lift equipment or tall recreational vehicles

Premium Features for Protection and Appearance

This model includes 1-foot roof overhangs on all sides, which help direct rainwater away from the structure and reduce wall staining. The integrated wainscot paneling adds a two-tone finish, enhancing the exterior look while serving as an extra layer of protection against moisture and wear. Together, these features create a polished appearance that holds up well in both residential and commercial environments.

• Roof overhangs: 12-inch extensions help with rain runoff and protect entrances
• Wainscot paneling: Decorative lower siding available in contrasting color for curb appeal
• Durability: Engineered for resistance to wind, UV exposure, and precipitation

Multiple Access Points with Upgraded Doors and Windows

This building includes two roll-up doors—one measuring 10×10 feet and the other 8×8 feet—for flexible entry based on the size of your vehicles or equipment. A standard walk-in door is also included, allowing daily access without opening the large roll-ups.
