Steel Garage Buildings

There are two main types of steel garage buildings that you will encounter. Those are Quonset hut garages and Steel framed. Here's a bit of information about each:

Quonset Garage Buildings

Quonset Hut Buildings are arch steel structures that come in a variety of profiles and sizes. The name Quonset comes from the popular cone-shape building which was popularized during war-time, which is what these buildings continue to resemble. They're sturdy yet lightweight and can be quickly assembled in just hours or days without many tools - perfect for when you need to store your car right away.

Steel Framed Garage Buildings

Steel framed buildings are a common type of commercial steel building and they make up the majority of metal garages in North America. The design is made to provide you with plenty of usable space but also be strong enough to last for decades - without needing much maintenance at all.

A steel-framed building will typically be made up of a metal skeleton which is connected by steel beams. The roof and walls are then wrapped with steel cladding or other materials for an aesthetic finish (like brick).

Both arch and straight wall steel garages are custom-designed and manufactured to fit your requirements. This allows for an endless range of possible dimensions. However, there are norms in place that aid in ensuring lower costs:

In terms of width, structures can be as narrow as 16 feet wide and as wide as 150 feet wide, with the exact number based on the local load requirements. Common widths include 20 feet, 25 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet, etc.

Lengths generally start at 20 feet as well and go up from there. In the case of arch steel garages, they go up in 2 foot increments.

Price Buildings can help you find the perfect structure, no matter the size you need.

These buildings are known for their versatility so uses include, but are not limited to:

• store your car
• workshop space
• use as additional living space
• store equipment
• mancave
• she-shed
• home offices
• hobby shop

Steel Garage Durability

The steel's strength and engineering mean these garages can handle almost anything. Many are able to withstand up to 130 mph winds. What this means for homeowners, is they will not need to be as concerned about storm damage. In addition, the metal has a great lifespan; factory-painted panels are incredibly durable. They can last upwards of 20 years before needing any maintenance.

Steel Garage Size and Customization Options

Steel buildings also come in a huge variety of sizes, meaning you are sure to find the perfect fit for your property size while meeting any zoning regulations imposed by local governments. You can choose between an almost infinite number of lengths, but the most popular are 16', 24', 40' or 60'. In addition, steel buildings come with a myriad of customization options. You can choose the size and height of your building, as well as whether or not you would like doors that open at both ends for easy access to your vehicle from either side.

Steel Garage Price

Along with steel's durability, it is also one of the more affordable types of garages on the market today; typically costing under $20,000 for both the building itself and assembly. This is much less than the cost of a traditional garage that has similar qualities and durability.

Easy Steel Building Assembly

When it comes to the assembly of steel buildings, they are easy for just about anyone. These buildings are pre-drilled and cut at the factory. This means that one the foundation is poured, all you need to assemble your building are basic hand tools like wrenches. Assembly typically takes less than three days on average before homeowners are able to move in their vehicle or start using their new garage.
