Why Choose Metal Parking Garage
A metal garage is a durable, versatile, and cost-effective solution for parking needs. It can be designed to withstand harsh weather while giving long-lasting protection for cars, with minimum maintenance. Their customizable designs make them suitable for a range of applications, from personal to large commercial uses.
In open parking spaces, cars are often parked close to each other. This increases the chance of dents, scratches, and damage due to flying debris. There are many benefits of parking a vehicle in a garage , such as safety, reliability, low vehicle maintenance, and a good resale value.
There are many options in the market for parking garages. The most popular ones are wooden, concrete, and steel. So, between wood vs. steel garages , which one is better? Let’s see:
A 100% galvanized steel prefab garage is resistant to rot, decay, rust, and external weather changes.
Our metal prefab garages are quick to install and reduce the cost of labor on-site, saving you time & money.
Structural steel has a 25 times higher strength-to-weight ratio than wood, which means it can bear more load and still be lightweight to work with.
Metal buildings take up less space as they are thin and lightweight but stronger than traditional building materials. You get more usable interior space to work with.
Compared to concrete or wood, a steel residential-style garage needs less maintenance and no deep cleaning to maintain its shine and longevity. Mold spores get deep into the wood, needing a regular deep cleaning.
Metal is a dense and inorganic material that does not allow termites to rest or nest in its frames and panels, saving money on monthly pest inspection & control.
