One Car Metal Garage

One of the most affordable ways to protect your car, prolong its lifespan, and get some storage space is to install a single-car garage. This type of garage is fully customizable as per your vehicle’s size and type. With a standard width of 12 feet (expandable as needed), most garages feature a single door for parking. If you're increasing the width, you can even add more doors, walk-in doors, or windows. You can opt for a prefab one car garage on sale to save some bucks. We offer high-quality materials that last for decades with minimal upkeep compared to any traditional parking garage.

Whatever your local building codes, requirements, and laws are, metal garages can be designed to meet and exceed them.

Cost Of A Standard 1 Car Garage

The price of a one car metal garage with a regular roof of size 12 ft. wide x 21 ft. deep starts at $1100 and can range up to $3000 or more depending on custom features you wish to add.

The minimum size of a one car parking garage is 10 ft. wide by 18 ft. deep [about 180 sq. ft.]. But, we suggest getting a larger size to have room to maneuver, keep some storage items, and open your car’s doors without bumping into the walls. About how wide is a single car garage, it is usually between 10 to 20 ft. but can be up to 30 ft.

Multiple factors affect the price of a one car metal garage, such as steel market value, size, and height of the garage. Your location of installation also affects the price, as labor charges vary with location. The local building codes and regulations, along with the complex design of the garage, also affect the total cost.

Wondering what size garage you need for one car? To keep a sedan-sized car with some storage, we would suggest buying a 24 ft. wide, 30 ft. long, and 10 ft. tall single car garage. This will give you enough room to keep your car, seasonal recreational gear, and some outdoor tools. Add a walk-in door for easy access to storage.

Steel is one of the most affordable garage doors you can buy. It is also more robust and secure compared to others. But, how wide is one car garage door? In the US, a standard garage door for one car is 8-9 ft. wide and 7-8 ft. high. With this size, you can easily park a sedan or a small SUV.

Benefits Of Owning Single Car Metal Garages

Wondering why should you park your car in a garage when the entire street is there for you? That’s because parking in the open shortens the lifespan of your car, increases its maintenance cost, and you get limited vehicle insurance. But why steel is a smart choice for parking? Here are some benefits of choosing metal garages for parking:

Budget Friendly: Prefab steel buildings are mass-produced in the factory.
Quick Installation: Most materials are designed off-site, so they need less time and labor to assemble on-site.
Low Maintenance: Metal is resistant to pests, fire, rot, decay, twisting, and bending. It lasts for decades with minimal upkeep. Metal garages are also easy to clean. You just need warm water and mild soap.
Easy To Customize: Add any custom feature to your prefab one car garage, be it a lean-to, natural lighting, or finished flooring.
Durable: Metal garages are highly durable. They are made using steel frames that are 25 times stronger than wood, and they are highly dense and uniform in material consistency.
Add Value To Property: Adding a garage can give you an ROI between 65% and 80%. So, when listing your property for resale, you get most of the invested money back.

Uses Of A 1 Car Garage

Size: You can customize length, width, and height as per your needs and local rules.

Steel Frame: You can choose between a 12-gauge and a 14-gauge frame. The industry standard is 14-gauge, but 12-gauge is more suitable for areas with harsh weather conditions.

Roof Style: There are three popular roofing styles for metal garages.

Regular Roof	Horizontal Roof	Vertical Roof
These are the most economical and suitable for small sheds and areas with fair climates. The curved edges give them a traditional look.	If you like aesthetics, these are best for you. With their horizontal ridges running parallel to the ground, they offer a traditional look and are suitable for moderate weather zones.	If you want nothing but the best without less frequent cleaning, vertical roofs are the one to choose. They offer unmatched protection, durability, and resilience.

Side Panel: You can choose a 29-gauge lightweight panel or a 26-gauge industry standard panel for your one car steel garage.

Structural Trim: You can add trim to the roof for extra support, especially in areas with frequent strong winds.

Color: We currently offer 15 unique color shades. But what color metal garage is the best? If you are looking for a color that conceals dirt, dust, and minor issues, opt for beige, tan, or grey. For a cooler interior, select a light color, and for a warmer one, choose a darker shade.

Doors: We offer doors with wide and tall frames, roll-up doors, and walk-in doors. Select the size that best suits your needs.

Windows: Windows helps bring in natural light and airflow. You can configure the size as per your garage’s size and the amount of natural light you want inside.

Insulation: We know how much you like to spend time in your garage doing DIY projects. So, to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, we offer affordable insulators like single bubble and double bubble. If you need greater thermal efficiency and durability, we offer woven R17.

Gable Ends: Closed gable ends on the front and back give a modern appeal and provide protection against sun and rain, especially in metal carports or utility combo carports.

Lean-To: Add a permanent metal awning to create a metal garage building with a lean-to. This will provide an open, shaded space for storing outdoor tools.

Wainscot: These provide extra protection to the structure and increase the durability of the metal building. They also help improve insulation and soundproofing.

Sizes Of 1 Car Metal Garage Buildings

A 1 car garage dimensions are between 10-14 ft. wide and 20-30 ft. deep. Some one car garages can be as large as 30 ft. wide x 31 ft. deep x 16 ft. tall to accommodate large vehicles such as RVs. This might create confusion about whether to choose a 1 car or 2 car garage. You can weigh the pros and cons of each and compare the sizes & costs to make an informed decision. The right choice will be one that fits your lifestyle, budget, local rules, and purpose.

But what is a good height for a garage? It’s usually between 8 and 10 feet. However, depending on your local laws, you can build a garage up to 20 feet tall.
