Steel and Metal Garage Kits

The pre-engineered metal and steel garages that are currently on the market can meet any and all of your vehicle storage requirements. Keeping valuable automobiles sheltered from the elements is easy and affordable with the technology available for pre-engineered metal garages today.
The consumer in the 21st century is prepared to invest in only the finest structure to protect their valuable recreational vehicle, boat, car, and/or motorcycle from the ravages of the elements in a theft-resistant environment. State-of-the-art pre-engineered metal building techniques make this not only readily available but very affordable.

Pre-engineered steel and metal garages can be ordered, shipped, and assembled in a fraction of the time it would take for a more conventional structure such as wood or brick. Additionally, the entire project can be completed in a fraction of the time that it would take a more traditional garage enclosure to be constructed.

Typically, the strength of a metal garage is seen in the heavier gauged steel that is utilized. Metal garages are easy to assemble as they simply bolt together to form a unitized and cohesive structure. Proper assembly creates a weather-resistant structure that will be specified exactly to the proper wind, seismic, and snow-load conditions to allow the metal garage to supply many years of virtually maintenance-free service. As such, many companies offer substantial structural warranties on their pre-engineered metal garages.

Beyond storage of vehicles many consumers want to use their interior garage space for their hobbies. An example would be restoration of older or antique automobiles. With proper insulation a metal garage can provide a comfortable, clean and dry interior workspace that is so economical that most consumers can purchase a structure larger than what they initially thought they could afford. Metal garages can be configured to hold just one or a multitude of vehicles, depending on the consumer’s requirements.

Design variations are easily adaptable to metal garages. For instance, garage and man doors can be easily fitted for either sidewall or end-wall access, or both. Additionally, there are no height limitations so that incorporating a large garage door for a “5th wheel”, for example, is not only possible but very economical. Also, metal garages can be as small as 12 feet in width and as wide as 120 feet and there are no length limitations. Metal garages also come in a wide variety of wall and roof colors to conform to any aesthetic requirement.

Metal garages can be easily assembled and ready for any storage requirements in only a matter of days. All components are pre-cut, pre-welded, and pre-engineered to fit together readily. Some sizes of metal garages can be completed in a weekend and require no expensive professional labor crews to assemble. Finally, a pre-engineered metal building can easily meet or surpass any building code provision or community covenant stipulation.
