Steel Garage Buildings and Metal Garage buildings for sale

Garage buildings are enclosed shelters for vehicles and other equipment. They protect your valuables from the elements of nature and also from human threats like theft, robbery, and vandalism. Garages are either built as a part of the house design and are attached to the main building or can be a detached structure somewhere in the property. For people who do not have a built-in garage within their property but are looking to add one, it can be a daunting task to choose the right garage.  There are numerous options available in the market. Metal garage buildings for sale are the complete packages when it comes to safeguarding your belongings against all kind of dangers.

Why should you choose steel garage buildings? Well, they are sturdy, structurally stable and can last for a long period of time. The other benefit of owning a steel garage is the minimal maintenance it requires.

There are various other construction materials that manufacturers use to build a garage building. Below we have taken two of the more popular garage types and compared their features with the features of metal garage buildings.

Wood Garage vs. Vinyl Garage vs. Metal Garage

Strength and Durability of Garage Buildings

When it comes to structural strength, there is no match for a metal garage. Steel has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios among the building materials. High-quality galvanized steel garages are not affected by weather conditions. They can be functional for decades with the least amount of maintenance.

A wood garage, even though it looks good, is very vulnerable to termite attacks. They are also prone to other defects like rotting and wrapping.

Vinyl garages can resist the elements similar to a metal garage but cannot withstand sustained heavy loads, like snow loads, wind loads, etc. Hence, a vinyl garage is suited only to places which have very mild weather conditions throughout the year without heavy downpours or snowfalls.

Maintenance of Garage Buildings

Metal garages are very low-maintenance and require very little upkeep to keep them functioning effectively. The only maintenance steel garage buildings require is a thorough cleaning and minor repairs every 6-12 months.

A vinyl garage is similar to a metal garage in this sense.

A wood garage, on the other hand, requires frequent repainting to weather-proof it and to keep it termite-resistant.

Sustainability of Garage Buildings

Steel is one of the most sustainable materials used for the construction of buildings. The sustainability of steel garage buildings comes from their longevity and recyclability. The manufacture and use of metal garage buildings is very environmentally friendly. Wood garages, even though their use does not negatively affect the environment, are not really sustainable. That is mainly because they are not durable and also their recyclability is questionable.

Vinyl garages are basically plastic garages and hence, are detrimental to the environment. They also do not last very long and can be easily damaged by heavy loading conditions.

Cost-effectiveness of Garage Buildings

Metal garage buildings are incredibly affordable and are the most cost-effective option among the three. Metal garage buildings are not only inexpensive at the time of purchase but also retain their cost-effectiveness in the long run by requiring very little maintenance cost.

Vinyl garages may have similar maintenance costs as metal garage buildings but will cost more initially than a similar metal garage.

Wooden garages are not only expensive upfront but will also require you to spend a lot of your hard-earned money on the maintenance.

Metal Garage Prices for Steel Garage Buildings and Metal Garage Buildings for Sale

Since our metal garages do not come in standard designs, we cannot say this or that is the price of our metal garage buildings for sale. There are various factors that affect the metal garage prices; from the size of the steel garage buildings to certification.

Generally, the bigger the metal garages dimension, the higher the price tag of the steel garage buildings. The metal garage prices can also increase by the additional features that you intend to purchase. The types, the number of openings and also other features, like the lean-tos can increase the cost of a metal garage building.

The other factor that influences metal garage prices is also the roof style of your garage. Among the three styles that we offer, our regular metal garages are the most affordable.
