  • Check out this Promotional Video by General Shelters

    General Shelters has a lot to talk about, but sometimes pictures are worth thousands and thousands of words.

    Take this promotional video, for example.  Chock full of pictures submitted by customers, and featuring pictures of staged buildings, nothing tells the story of the coziness and quaintness of Genera Shelters’ cabins like seeing them in full color.  Rustic and individualized, General Shelters offers flexibility and durability to your building.

    Take four or so minutes and enjoy this overview!

  • Modular Buildings vs Portable Pier-and-Beam Buildings

    When being introduced to General Shelters buildings, a common question we are asked is if they are modular buildings.  This makes sense, in that they are manufactured elsewhere and brought to the installation site, same as General Shelters buildings.

    While they share this similarity, there is a larger, major difference,  While modular buildings are manufactured elsewhere, brought to the installation site, and then joined together, General Shelters buildings are brought roll-off-ready.  There is no crew or assembly required post-delivery.

    This turn-key approach is what makes General Shelters buildings fairly unique in the industry.  A follow up crew will visit the building to tie down anything that may have shaken loose during transport, if necessary. The simplicity of this one and done approach brings down costs, especially when the site is remote.

    Like everything else, there are exceptions.  For General Shelters, the exception is that customers can order buildings to join together for larger areas.  This would all be done post-delivery by the customer’s own contractor.  Below is an example of a skilled contractor adding a room and bathroom to a custom Maverick we delivered last year.

    While not a weekend project, the process is fairly straighforward.
