Cell phone signal boost for metal building

[BETTERLUCKYTHANGOOD]

Question for the GS brain trust. Those of you that have metal buildings/shops, what are you using for a cell phone signal booster? I close the doors on my shop and loose it, my shop is on the lower portion of my property so I need all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance guys.

I use WeBoost inside my barndo. Works great.

We also have a WeBoost unit and it does the job in our building

Would this work in my specific case where we only have 1 to 2 bars due to being in a rural area? Thanks

I have a Weeboost on my barn here in TX and at my house in BFE OK, and they’ve been great.

I get the occasional single bar at my place. The nearest tower is 40 miles away. With a good antenna and a the weboost I can stream live TV at full resolution. Works great.

Follow-up questions for the Weboost users, are you using the supplied antenna or are you using a directional antenna ? Also, in general, how high in the air do you have your antenna mounted ?

In! Great feedback fellas...I’m in the same boat. 1 or 2 bars outside and zero inside my shop.

Any of the cell boost companies will work. I prefer Surecall. Your antenna will be placed outside. Easiest is an omnidirectional antenna but the best will be a Yagi directional antenna. Just have to make sure it's placed in the direction of the best signal tower. Higher the better no doubt.

Works great, but I did it before they installed. The $300 extra they charge for the install would have been worth the money in my case.

Like others on here I use the WeBoost and it made a world of difference!

Do you have access to internet in your metal building? If so enable WiFi Calling on your phone settings. This might be a quick fix. I had to do this inside my house with zero issues.

The supplied Yagi antenna worked pretty well but I have switched to a directional High gain antenna and it is a little better.
