  • This Changes Everything: Bedrock Structures Intoduces Metal-framed Greenhouses!

    Continuing our conversation about Bedrock Structures, we are excited to announce their newest product: steel-framed greenhouses!  Whether you are a hobbyist or Master Gardener, you know the importance of keeping some plants at temperature and to get your summer garden going early.

    To date, our only source for greenhouses were from Bedrock Structure’s parent company, General Shelters (scroll to bottom).  Like all their buildings, the General Shelters greenhouses were designed to portable, but constructed with pressure-treated lumber and fixed on skids for easy relocation.

    The Bedrock Structure greenhouses are made with their customary 4 inch galvanized steel posts, clad with steel wainscoting and smokey polycarbonate panels, and roofed with polycarbonate panels.

    As you can see, they can install fans, and can add windows and doors, or provide cut-outs for you to install after construction.  A purlin runs along the ground level to tie the wainscoting down.

    We will have one installed by this fall at our showroom for viewing!

    They have not added the greenhouse option to their configurator, so please reach out to 979-836-7225 or email and we can give a quote for installation and estimate how soon we can have it installed!

  • Take a Look at our Custom Maverick by General Shelters

    The Maverick is our go-to standard model to customize.

    General Shelters’ Maverick’s simple design and small footprint provide an excellent template for customizations.  For our custom 2 bed Maverick, we balanced the need for open space and functionality by adding two feet to the width, nine feet to the length, a dormer, expanded living space, and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.   At 832sf (16×52) it is a cozy, bright space perfect for full-time or part-time living.

    Cozy and bright!

    The popular Colony Green color for the exterior steel walls is complimented with faux cedar accent wall and gables.  Inside, the new ‘Barnwash’ paneling lends a rustic touch that compliments both dark and light furniture and decorations. To emphasize the rustic atmosphere, we upgraded the ceiling to the metal galvalume from the stock gypsum ceiling tile.

    Very nice spaces.

    Other upgrades for this model include White Dallas granite counters throughout, 36 inch interior doors, and central heat/air. This model comes with a full-size GE refrigerator, microwave, and stackable washer/dryer.

    Big enough for a king-sized bed!

    An island in the kitchen area doubles nicely as a serving area, while providing plenty of space for food preparation. We opted out of the dishwasher for this model, but included a stainless steel double sink.

    The Jack and Jill bathroom feautres 36" doors.

    The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is a space-saving feature that conveniently allows one person to use the bathroom facilities and another to use the shower/bath.

    Here is the floor plan of our custom Maverick.  We added two feet to the width, and nine and a half feet to the length.Plan your own building and we can make it!

    This model sold for $129,900, but we have a slightly redesigned model for sale at $126,900 and available for viewing at our Brenham location.
