5 Great Summer Steel Projects

Summer is a great time of year, when the weather warms up, the sun stays out longer, and you have plenty of time after work and on weekends to get to those projects you have been wanting to finish all year long. If building with steel is on your summer to-do list, here are five projects that you should think about.

Landscaping
There are a million ways you can use steel in your landscaping, creating everything from walls and fences to landscape edging. The type of steel you use depends on the look you want to create—whether you want to get something from Wasatch Steel that has a rich patina and will develop some color and character over time, or you prefer something that is more industrial looking and has a more uniform metal color to it. Get creative with your landscaping, adding water fountains that are supported with steel walls and beams, building beautiful fencing and stair railings, and more.

Garden Sculptures
If you love to work with metal and want to create something artistic that you can be proud of, consider building some sculptures that you can put in your front yard or your garden. You can find all sorts of odds and ends at the steel supermarket that you won’t find anywhere else. Start at Wasatch Steel to spark your creativity, finding the pieces that will make the perfect addition to your outdoor space.

Steel Fire Pits
Keeping warm during summer days isn’t hard, but when the sun sets and you still want to enjoy the beautiful weather and endless stars outdoors with your friends and family, there is no better way to do it than with a steel fire pit. Wasatch Steel is the best place to buy steel in Utah to build a fire pit because they have everything you might need, whether you want something that is already bowl-shaped to build from, or you prefer to create a laser-cut steel design in some sheet metal and wrap it around your fire pit. There are endless possibilities when you start with the largest selection of steel around so you can get that perfect fire pit to have cookouts, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the outdoors all season long.

Steel Yard Signs
Whether you want something whimsical and fun or you just need a functional yard sign with your name and address to help friends and family find your home, these make a great project for your summer steel work. Not only does Wasatch Steel have all the raw material you might need to make these signs, they can also help you with the finishing work—just bring the design you want and they will help you make it into a reality.

Steel Shed or Storage
Finding extra space around the house for storage can be difficult, but expanding your storage area outside in the backyard is simple. This summer get all the building materials you need to construct a steel storage shed in the backyard. From I-beams and other structural support to corrugated metal roofing you can build the perfect backyard shed for an affordable price.

Don’t let summer pass you by without taking time to knock off some of the fun things you want to get done, and some of the chores you have to get done. If you need steel to finish your summer project, the steel supermarket is the place to find it all.
