Steel was commonly used for garage construction from the early days of 20th century. Steel garage buildings offer an affordable solution for storage needs. With the development of technology, new techniques are incorporated into the construction of steel garages. Steel garages are now available in various attractive designs. ‘Do it yourself’ readymade kits are the latest trend in steel garages.
Steel garage buildings come in various styles. The common pattern in steel garages is the arch building, in which an arc acts as both the sidewall and the roof. Rigid frame system and straight roof system are other systems. Garages are also designed in patterns such as Sierra, Mohave, Teton, Sonoran and Gambrel. Models A, P, Q, R, T and G are also recommended for garage construction. The panels are galvanized steel in a wide range of colors such as white, brown, ivory, burgundy, patina green, charcoal grey, dark blue or antique bronze.
Custom design steel garage kits are available from manufacturers. Such a kit has to be assembled on site. The pre-engineered steel material is mounted on a suitable foundation. The base rail system is a common foundation for garages. The caisson mounting system is also recommended. The steel structure is inserted on the foundation, and fixed with bolts. End walls and special garage doors are fixed at last. Steel garage buildings also include accessories such as lights, windows, sky lights, truss bracing and cupolas.
Steel garage buildings have unique advantages over traditional buildings. They are economical and easily constructed within a day or two, using minimum labor. Insurance cost is also less since steel is resistant to almost all threats such as fire, hurricane, hails and earthquakes. Steel garages can be easily modified and extended according to the need for more space. The pricing is competitive. The sq ft charge starts from $5.
Steel garage building designs are offered by several designers and builders. Local contractors are available to manage the assembly of steel garages. They ensure durability for the structure with a warranty of up to 30 years. They also provide excellent customer service.
