Steel Garages

A steel garage kit arrives as a numbered set of panels and fasteners and bolts together on a slab you pour or contract locally. There is no framing lumber to warp, nothing for termites to eat, and nothing that needs repainting every few seasons. For most owners the appeal is simple: it goes up fast, it does not rot, and it holds its shape.

What to think about before you order

Sizing is driven less by the vehicle than by what happens around it. A car occupies roughly 8' x 16', but a door you can open fully, a workbench along one wall and room to walk behind the bumper push a comfortable single-car build closer to 20' x 24'. Two vehicles side by side with the same allowances land near 30' x 30'.

Common uses

• Daily-driver parking
• Project and restoration space
• Boat and RV storage
• Combined garage and workshop

Recommended profiles

These are the models that suit steel garages best. The right one depends mostly on whether you need usable wall height or the lowest cost per square foot.
