Metal Garage Buildings

A metal car garage is a reliable and robust unit that can be easily installed and offers unmatched strength at affordable prices. They can serve numerous purposes, from simple storage solutions to elaborate workshop spaces.

Enclosed on all sides, these are secure spaces that can efficiently house your tools, equipment, valuable belongings, outdoor gear, and sports items.

Metal frame garage buildings come in a multitude of styles and sizes. From small one-car garages incorporating a single vehicle for parking to large multi-parking garages equipped to serve several purposes. In addition to standard prefabricated structures, you can custom-design them for specific needs.

Why Prefer Steel Garages?

A metal frame garage offers numerous advantages over conventional structures, which precisely makes them one of the most preferred choices. These structures are a perfect solution for homeowners as well as commercial setups. Some of the superior properties of steel that set it apart from wooden or other traditional structures include:

  • Steel is at least 25 times stronger than wood.
  • The high load-bearing capacity of steel makes it viable to create commercial garages that are up to 300 feet wide.
  • Steel is inorganic in nature, which means (unlike wood) it doesn’t harbor pests, wasps, or other insect infestations.
  • Due to its non-porous surface, steel garages are also extremely easy to clean and maintain.
  • Steel doesn’t absorb moisture, which negates the chances of rot and decay.
  • Being highly dense works well for steel garage buildings as they deter rodents from chewing it.
  • Steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which results in reliable and robust structures requiring fewer deep foundations and incurring lower construction costs.
  • Metal car garages can be built to be clear-span structures, which offers additional usable interior space.
  • Galvanized steel features rust-resistant zinc coating, reducing the chances of corrosion.
  • Structural steel is 100% recyclable, and about 98% is recycled across the US.
  • Unlike wood, steel is non-combustible and can withstand most fires.
  • Steel prefab garages can be efficiently installed in 50 percent of the time it takes to build traditional structures.

Prefab Garage Building Dimensions

When building a steel garage, one of the most important aspects to consider is the length, width, and height of the structure. You do not want your car to suffer damages while parking, nor do you want to spend a fortune on extra space. Hence, it is crucial to choose the perfect dimensions that suit your storage, parking, and other needs.

If you are planning to park a couple of vehicles, a standard two-car garage is likely to suffice. However, if you wish to add storage space or integrate a workshop, it might be better to install a larger structure.

Common garage dimensions are:

One-car Garage: To add value to your home while incorporating a new storage space or single-vehicle parking, you can opt for a one-car steel garage.

Width Length Height
10 feet wide to 18 feet wide 18 feet long to 20 feet long 8 feet high to 12 feet high

Two-car Garage: Most two-car garages are large enough to accommodate two full-sized vehicles. However, if you have limited space or compact vehicles, you can opt for the ones on the smaller side.

Width Length Height
20 feet wide to 30 feet wide 18 feet long to 20 feet long 9 feet high to 14 feet high

Three-car Garage: Depending on whether you opt for tandem parking or side-by-side parking, you can design a three-car metal garage suited to your parking needs. It is ideal to choose vertical-roof garages if you need a structure requiring low upkeep and supporting elements.

Width Length Height
30 feet wide to 42 feet wide 18 feet long to 20 feet long 10 feet high to 14 feet high

Four-car garage: A four-car garage is perfect for multi-vehicle parking space and it also allows you to blend in the designs for more storage space as well as a workshop to repair your vehicles.

Width Length Height
40 feet wide to 54 feet wide 20 feet long to 24 feet long 10 feet high to 15 feet high

Five-car garage: Oversized garages offer immense flexibility in terms of design and layout. You can make them multi-functional garage spaces along with amalgamating personal space, including game rooms.

Width Length Height
50 feet wide to 60 feet wide 24 feet long to 30 feet long 12 feet high to 16 feet high
