For many factories, workshops and storage businesses, the shed is the building. It has to cover a large area at a sensible cost, go up quickly and stay sound through monsoon rain, summer heat and years of heavy use. A well-built shed becomes a long-term asset. A poorly built one leaks, rusts, vibrates and costs more every year in repairs.
MTBOSS Construction Private Limited provides industrial shed construction in Bareilly and Moradabad, covering design, foundation, steel structure, roofing, flooring and finishing. Whether you need a 2,000 sq. ft. workshop or a large warehouse shed, we plan it around your goods, machines and growth.
Types of Industrial Sheds We Build
- PEB (Pre-Engineered Building) Sheds
PEB sheds use steel frames designed for your exact span and load, fabricated in a controlled factory environment and bolted together on site. They suit large factories and warehouses where wide column-free space and fast completion matter.
Best for: warehouses, large production halls, logistics sheds. - Conventional Steel Truss Sheds
Built from angle, channel or pipe trusses fabricated and erected to design, these sheds are economical for small and medium spans. They are easier to modify locally and work well for workshops and storage.
Best for: workshops, small factories, godowns, parking and loading sheds. - RCC-Steel Hybrid Sheds
Concrete columns and plinth beams support a steel roof structure. This option gives strong lower walls, good fire resistance and durability at ground level, with the speed of steel overhead.
Best for: cold storage, food units, factories needing heavy walls, multi-use buildings. - Open and Semi-Open Sheds
These have roofing but limited or no walls, used for material storage, vehicle parking, loading areas and outdoor processing.
Best for: building material yards, truck bays, agricultural storage.
Shed Dimensions and Design Decisions
Before construction, a shed needs a handful of key decisions. We guide you through each one.
- Width (span). A wider span creates more clear space but needs heavier structural members. Many sheds use spans between 12 and 30 metres, though the right figure depends on your layout.
- Length and bay spacing. Sheds are built in repeating bays. Wider bay spacing means fewer columns and more usable floor, but also a heavier frame.
- Eave height. This is the height at the lowest edge of the roof. Higher eaves allow tall racking, cranes and better airflow, but increase cost. Choose based on stacking height, machine height and truck access.
- Roof slope. A proper slope drains rainwater quickly. Too little slope causes leaks and ponding.
- Crane and hoist requirement. If you plan to use an overhead crane, the frame and columns must be designed for it from the start. Retrofitting later is expensive.
- Future extension. Planning the end wall so that bays can be added later saves a great deal of cost as your business grows.
- Doors and openings. Roller shutters, sliding doors and truck-height openings should be positioned according to material flow.
Core Components of a Good Shed
Foundation and Anchor Bolts
A shed's columns transfer load into isolated footings. The footing size depends on soil strength and column load. Anchor bolts must be set at exact positions and levels, because small errors cause misalignment during steel erection. We survey and verify these before the steel arrives.
Steel Frame
Columns, rafters, purlins and bracing form the skeleton. We use appropriate steel grades, controlled welding or bolting and proper protective coating. Bracing is particularly important to resist wind and sway, and it is often under-designed in cheap sheds.
Roof Sheeting
Roof sheets protect everything below. Common options include:
- GI (galvanised iron) sheets: economical and widely used.
- Colour-coated profile sheets: better appearance and corrosion resistance.
- Insulated sandwich panels: reduce heat and noise, useful for food, pharma and temperature-sensitive goods.
- Translucent sheets: admit daylight and cut lighting costs.
Sheet thickness, fixing method and overlap decide how well the roof resists leaks and wind.
Wall Cladding and Masonry
Walls can be metal sheeting, brickwork or a combination. A common design uses brick or concrete walls up to a certain height for security and impact resistance, with sheeting above for lightness.
Ventilation and Natural Light
Industrial sheds can become very hot. We plan ridge ventilators, turbo ventilators, louvres and translucent sheets so that hot air escapes, daylight enters and workers stay comfortable. This also lowers electricity use for fans and lights.
Gutters and Downpipes
Heavy monsoon rain needs a proper drainage system. Gutters, downpipes and surface drains carry water away from the building and prevent flooding of the floor and stock.
Industrial Flooring
Floors must resist forklifts, trolleys, machine loads and chemical spillage depending on use. We plan the sub-base, concrete grade, thickness, reinforcement, joints and finish, such as power-floated or hardened surfaces, to prevent cracking and dusting.
How We Build Your Shed: Step by Step
- Requirement discussion. We learn what you will store or produce, the machines, vehicle sizes, stacking height and expansion plans.
- Site visit and soil check. We study the plot shape, levels, access and soil condition.
- Design and drawings. The structural design, foundation plan, roof layout, door positions and drainage plan are prepared.
- Quotation and agreement. You receive an itemised estimate with specifications and payment milestones.
- Site preparation. Levelling, marking, excavation and base preparation are completed.
- Foundation work. Footings, pedestals and anchor bolts are cast and checked for position and level.
- Steel fabrication and erection. Frame members are fabricated, treated, lifted and fixed. Alignment is checked at each stage.
- Roofing and cladding. Purlins, sheets, flashing, ventilators and gutters are installed.
- Flooring and civil work. Floor casting, walls, plinth, drains and doors are completed.
- Electrical, finishing and handover. Lighting, wiring, painting and final inspection are done before handover.
Because steel members can be prepared while foundation work progresses, shed construction is usually faster than conventional concrete buildings of similar size.
Choosing Between PEB, Truss and Hybrid Sheds
| Factor | PEB Shed | Steel Truss Shed | RCC-Steel Hybrid |
|---|
| Best span | Large | Small to medium | Medium to large |
| Speed | Fastest | Fast | Moderate |
| Cost approach | Higher at small sizes, efficient at large | Economical for small jobs | Higher, but durable |
| Future extension | Easy | Moderate | Moderate |
| Fire and impact resistance | Needs added protection | Needs added protection | Better lower-level strength |
There is no single best option. We recommend the one that fits your purpose, budget and timeline.
What Affects the Cost of an Industrial Shed
Prices differ from shed to shed because several factors move the total:
- Covered area, span and eave height
- Steel weight and design loads
- Type of roofing and cladding
- Insulation and ventilation features
- Flooring specification
- Crane or mezzanine requirements
- Soil condition and foundation depth
- Site levelling and access
- Doors, shutters and electrical work
- Finishing and painting
Ways to save without weakening the shed:
- Finalise size and layout before ordering steel.
- Do not compromise on foundation, bracing and sheet thickness.
- Use translucent sheets to reduce daytime lighting cost.
- Plan future extension at the start.
- Compare quotes by steel weight, sheet specification and scope, not only by rate per square foot.

Shed Construction in Bareilly: Local Points to Plan For
- Monsoon rain. Heavy rainfall demands good roof slope, correct sheet overlaps, quality fasteners and well-sized gutters. Leakage in a storage shed can ruin stock quickly.
- Hot summers. Heat builds up under metal roofs. Ventilation, insulation and reflective coatings keep working conditions bearable.
- Winter fog and humidity. Moisture can encourage corrosion, so protective coating and good drainage extend the life of the steel.
- Wind loads. Open plots and highway-side locations can face strong winds, so bracing and sheet fixing must follow the design.
- Soil. Footing design should follow soil strength, which can differ across plots.
- Access. Narrow roads can slow delivery of long steel members, so we plan transport and unloading in advance.
- Locations. Many sheds are built along highway belts and in industrial plots such as the Bhojipura area, and we handle projects in these and nearby areas, along with Moradabad.
Maintenance Tips to Make a Shed Last Longer
A shed does not need heavy maintenance, but small checks prevent big repairs.
- Inspect roof sheets and fasteners before and after the monsoon.
- Keep gutters and downpipes free of dust and debris.
- Touch up paint or coating where scratches expose steel.
- Check bolts and bracing periodically, especially in sheds with vibrating machines.
- Repair floor cracks and joints early.
- Do not overload the roof or hang heavy loads from purlins without checking the design.
- Keep drains around the building clear.
MTBOSS offers repair and waterproofing support if your existing shed needs attention.
Extension, Repair and Upgrade of Existing Sheds
Not every project is a new shed. We also help with:
- Adding bays or extending length
- Raising height or adding a mezzanine
- Replacing damaged or leaking roof sheets
- Repairing corroded members
- Strengthening for new machines or cranes
- Re-doing industrial flooring
- Adding ventilation and skylights
- Painting and protective coating
Where your unit is running, we plan work in phases to keep disruption low.
Why Do Factory Owners and Traders Choose MTBOSS for Shed Construction?
Shed owners tell us they want three things: a fair price, a quick schedule and a structure that does not give trouble. We work to deliver all three. One team handles design, foundation, steel, roofing, flooring and finishing, so there is no gap between civil and steel work. Specifications are written down, progress is reported, and site engineers check alignment, fixing and quality at each stage. We explain choices in plain language, so you understand where your money is going.
Is a Steel Shed Better Than a Concrete Building?
For storage, workshops and many factories, usually yes, because steel sheds are faster to build, offer wider spans and are easier to extend. Concrete buildings suit multi-storey structures, cold storage, heavy-load areas and projects needing strong fire resistance. Many projects use both, which is why hybrid sheds are popular. We assess your needs and tell you honestly which option makes more sense, even if it is the lower-cost choice.
