Duck hunters take pride in their boats as they travel waterways to reach their favorite hunting spots. Morton Buildings supports their passion as a leader in designing recreational vehicle storage buildings that offer great functionality as well as aesthetic appeal.

With a Morton storage facility, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy their hobby to the fullest. Our high-quality materials, craftsmanship and industry-leading warranties deliver a building that is built stronger, lasts longer and looks better.

Recreational buildings are among the most popular residential structures currently being built across the United States by Morton Buildings. With construction centers nationwide, we work closely with customers in all aspects of the design and building process.

That begins with understanding not only the specific boats and other vehicles to be stored but, just as importantly, how the building will be used to support and enhance the owner’s lifestyle preferences.

As a leader in post-frame construction, Morton can deliver a strong and durable building to meet owners’ current and future needs. Every detail is designed for minimal maintenance, with various design options available to complement any existing structures, including the owner’s home.

Morton structures are highly engineered and structurally sound, built to local snow and/or wind load requirements and climate conditions. Building features include:

  • Morton’s Hi-Rib steel, which provides superior strength and durability.
  • Energy Performer Insulation Package, which provides maximum comfort and energy savings.
  • Aesthetic decor options, such as steel and stone wainscots, cupolas, porches, Dutch doors, turkey tails and cedar accent options.
  • The Morton Foundation System, which uses concrete lower columns in the foundation, rather than wood, to create the strongest and most durable building.
  • The Fluoroflex paint system, offering superior protection against fading, chalking, paint peeling and red rust.
  • True stainless-steel screws and rust-resistant ring shank fasteners to help prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Protection against high winds and snow loads. This includes Morton’s unequaled five-year wind warranty and a 50-year snow warranty for most buildings with no weight limit.

Design your own 3D Studio storage facility

A lot of factors go into building a new recreational vehicle storage facility. Duck hunters can now design their own storage facility using Morton Buildings’ 3D Studio online tool.

With this tool, users can dynamically design and visualize their own Morton post-frame building with modern layouts, dimensions and colors that fit their style and needs. It’s intuitive, easy to use and extremely flexible.

The 3D Studio allows the user to determine the ideal building dimensions based on the specific size of their boat(s), as well as other recreational vehicles and equipment they plan to store now or in the future via the “Add for Scale” feature.

When working in the 3D Studio, users can zoom in and move around the building to fully engage in the design. They can easily add doors, windows, porches and other functional and/or aesthetic features to their building design.

Users can also toggle between 2D and 3D views, depending on their preference. Through the process, the user can save their building color choices and finished product with the “save” button, share with others and print the selections.

The finished design can then be sent to the Morton team for a sales consultation to help ensure the building design meets the owner’s vision, needs and budget, and that it’s designed and engineered to the proper specifications. To try out the tool, visit mortonbuildings.com/3d-studio.
