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:
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).
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.
There are various options when it comes to insulating your garage and insulation has the benefit of both moderating the temperature and avoiding condensation buildup.
The primary ways to insulate your garage will be:
Insulation Rolls or Blankets - Often with a mylar type of backing on one side, these rolls are available from most building factories.
Insulating Batts - This is the traditional type of fiberglass insulation that you'll find in wood-framed construction.
Spray Foam - This is a closed-cell type of insulating foam that is sprayed onto the interior of the building. It does double duty both as an insulation and a vapor barrier to protect against condensation.
Metal building kits are relatively easier to build than other types of construction. The components are pre-designed and engineered. Therefore most of the work comes from assembling. The kit comes with pre-cut panels. It is a straightforward building process for beginner builders, too. A regular set of inexpensive tools is all you need to get started on the structure.
<h4>Durability and Minimal Maintenance</h4>
Metal garage buildings, particularly steel garage buildings, offer exceptional durability and require minimal maintenance compared to wood structures:
<ul>
<li><strong>Resistant</strong>: Made from high-quality steel, these buildings are pests, fire, and rot-resistant, ensuring a long lifespan. As an inorganic matter, steel is also resistant to mold and fungi.</li>
<li><strong>Maintenance-free</strong><em>:</em> Metal garage buildings do not require painting or treatment, saving you time and money in the long run. If you insist on wiping your kit, a rag and water can do the trick.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Versatility</h4>
Metal garages offer a versatile solution for various needs and applications, making them a great addition to residential property. You can customize them according to a specific aesthetic to improve the appearance of your home:
<ul>
<li><strong>Column-free interior</strong>: The open, column-free design allows for easy customization and adaptability to fit your needs</li>
<li><strong>Custom metal garage</strong>: You can design a metal building to serve as a workshop, storage facility, or even a home office</li>
<li><strong>Metal building kit</strong>: With a metal building kit, you can assemble your garage quickly and efficiently on site</li>
</ul>
<h4>Weather Resistance</h4>
Metal garage buildings are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions:
<ul>
<li><strong>Harsh weather protection</strong>: Steel garages offer protection against extreme temperatures, rain, and rough winds</li>
<li><strong>Heavy snow load capacity</strong>: Vertical roof styles are designed to shed snow, making them ideal for areas with heavy snowfall</li>
<li><strong>Temperature resistance</strong>: Overall, steel buildings provide excellent durability and weather resistance. They can be insulated to withstand severely low temperatures, even with temperature extremes. In hot climates, your metal kit remains cool and temperate.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>
Protecting your valuables is crucial, and metal garage buildings offer excellent security:
<ul>
<li><strong>Valuables safe</strong>: The robust construction of metal garages keeps your vehicles and equipment secure</li>
<li><strong>Fully enclosed</strong>: A fully enclosed metal garage offers added protection against theft and vandalism</li>
<li><strong>Strong metallic surface</strong>: Steel garages provide a strong and secure structure to keep your valuables safe</li>
</ul>
<h4>Affordability</h4>
Steel is more affordable, while the up front material cost may be slightly higher, you save on labor for assembly, low maintenance requirements and longer life. Its durability means fewer replacement costs.
<h4>Time-Saving</h4>
Steel is easier to work with and requires no complex skills or knowledge to erect the building compared to wood. This is often why they are chosen as temporary shelters: they are quick and easy to erect while protecting from harsh elements.
Metal garages are fully enclosed structures designed to protect vehicles and equipment. Metal carports are open or partially enclosed shelters that offer protection from the elements but not complete security.
Each building is customized for your needs, then reviewed by engineering which gauges the steel used, accordingly. This means that prices will vary, even for the same size of building, from one location to the next. We recommend requesting a free no-obligation quote to price your specific garage.
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.
Incredible Value
Steel garage kits are designed to add value to your property. Their durable construction provides a structure that will last. The simple building process saves money short-term with labor. Since steel is incredibly strong and impervious to termites and other pests, this building also saves you money long-term by lasting decades and requiring little if any maintenance.

Metal buildings are in many ways an eco-conscious alternative to wood.
Lower energy consumption: building a steel building consumes less energy overall than a wooden one, lowering your carbon footprint.
Recyclable material: some metals like steel are 100% recyclable and reusable. Therefore even when you no longer have use for your garage kit, the metal can be repurposed or recycled to reduce waste production. In fact, quite often a good portion of the metal used within the building itself will have been melted down and recycled from other structures.
One of the advantages of metal garage kits is their customization options. Along with the size of the building, you can tailor your garage to suit your specific needs and preferences:
Garage doors
Roll-up doors: Space-saving and secure, perfect for most garages
Two roll-up doors: Allows for easy access from both ends of the garage
Walk-in-door: A separate entrance for quick access without opening the primary garage doors
Windows: Add natural light and ventilation to your garage.
Eave height: Customize the height of your garage to accommodate taller vehicles or equipment (remember that size has to follow your local building code for safety reasons).
Colors: There are a wide range of colors you can choose from to match existing buildings, the surroundings, or your own aesthetics. The factory will have wall panel, roofing, and trim colors available.
Insulation: Interested in a climate-controlled environment? No problem. Insulation kits are available.
