The interior has 4” square metal for the support of the structure; the ceiling as well as the wall studs are metal, forming a very sturdy structure.

This type of security structure is very stable and has a wind rating of 110 miles per hour. The warranty on the exterior of the structure is 30 years against rust or corrosion. The floor design is ¾” pressure-treated plywood with 2x6 pressure-treated skids.
