Metal Garages
Thanks to their superior durability and easy maintenance, metal garages are a great solution for almost any storage need. Whether you’re looking for a simple one-car garage or a large multi-car solution, there’s a range of sizes available to fit any property, budget, or purpose.
But which one is right for you? With so many options available, sorting through the weeds can be difficult– if not intimidating. Until today. Below, we'll explore some standard sizes for our 1, 2, 3, and 4-car metal garages and provide you with the information you need to make an educated purchase.
Common Metal Garage Sizes
Our steel garages come in a virtually endless array of size options. Here’s how we break them down:
- One-Car Garages
A one-car metal garage typically ranges from 12 to 18 feet wide. This size provides enough room for a single sedan-sized car, with space left for small tools and equipment. - Two-Car Garages
For households with two vehicles, a two-car garage is usually around 18 to 24 feet wide. This size allows for side-by-side parking and extra room for storing other items or adding workspaces. - Triple-Wide Garages
Measuring 24 to 32 feet wide, triple-wide garages are ideal for storing multiple smaller vehicles. These garages are also versatile enough for a combination of vehicle storage, workshop space, or even hobby areas. - 4-Car Garages
For those needing maximum space, a four-car garage typically ranges from 32 to 52 feet wide. This size is excellent for vehicle collections, large equipment storage, and extensive workshop setups.
How Large Does My Metal Garage Need to Be?
Choosing the right garage size depends greatly on your storage needs and future plans. You’ll need to account for the number of vehicles you currently own, any additional storage needs, and if you’re likely to add more vehicles or equipment down the line.
Factoring in extra space now can help your garage remain functional and clutter-free for years to come.
What If I Need More Space in My Metal Garage?
We engineer our structures to be expandable should your needs evolve. If your current garage needs to be bigger, we can make it happen! Direct Metal Structures can create attached lean-tos, covered porch areas, and more to expand your building to fit your growing needs.
Key Considerations When Choosing Your Metal Garage Size
Picking the right building size today can have big implications in the future. As such, it's best to decide right away what option is best for you. Here are some key things to keep in mind that can help you make the right choice:
- What Dimensions Do You Need?
Estimate the space each vehicle will require and account for any additional items, like bikes, lawn equipment, or tools. Allow for at least a few feet of buffer space around each vehicle for easy movement. - What’s Your Location Like?
Your property size and layout will play a big role in your garage's design. Measure your available space and check local building requirements to determine what fits best. - What Customizations Do You Want?
Decide on customizations, such as doors, windows, and ventilation. Features like insulation, shelving, and electrical outlets can add functionality and comfort to your space. - Building Certification and Zoning Codes
Check with your local building authorities about permits and certifications. A certified garage may be necessary to meet wind or snow load requirements, depending on your region. - What’s Your Budget?
Larger garages and extensive customizations come with higher costs. Balance your needs with your budget to select the best size and features for your metal garage. - Foundation According to the Weather
Consider your region's climate when choosing your garage foundation. Concrete slabs offer excellent support, while gravel or asphalt may be suitable for warmer areas with less precipitation.
