6 things you should know before buying a steel garage

Steel garages are a popular choice for those looking for a practical and durable place to store cars, tools or other items. If you are considering buying a steel garage, there are a few important things to consider. Here are six important considerations to help you make the right decision.

1. Garage size and construction

Before buying a steel garage, it is worth thinking carefully about the size of the facility you will need. Think about how many cars you plan to store in the garage, what tools or equipment will be placed in it. Our offer includes garages for one and two cars.

Thanks to the well-thought-out design, these garages can be connected in series, thanks to which we can create a garage with an unlimited number of positions.

Keep in mind that a larger garage will be more expensive, but will provide more storage space. It is also important to check the structure of the garage, whether it is solid, durable and adapted to local weather conditions. Steel garages in our offer have been subjected to load tests. The garage easily carried over 2 tons of an evenly distributed load.

2.Material and quality

Steel garages are made of different types of steel. Before buying, check what type of steel is used in the garages you are interested in. Choose one that is corrosion-resistant and has the appropriate strength characteristics. It's also a good idea to read reviews from other customers about the quality of the product and see if the manufacturer offers any guarantees for your steel garage. The garages we offer are made of high-quality galvanized steel. You can choose a garage in one of the offered RAL colors or covered with plaster.

3. Assembly and installation

Before buying a steel garage, pay attention to the assembly and installation process. Does the manufacturer offer an assembly service or will you have to do it yourself? Make sure you have the proper tools and skills to install your garage correctly. If you are not sure if you can handle it, you can always consult a professional or have the installation carried out by a professional team.

4. Local regulations and permits

Before you decide to buy a steel garage, check your local laws and regulations regarding the construction of such structures. The structures we offer do not require a building permit due to the fact that they do not exceed 35 m2. Even in the case of serial construction, permission is not required.

5. Substrate

Before buying a garage, it is worth getting acquainted with the requirements for preparing the ground for the assembly of the structure. The ground should be even and for most garages it may be necessary to properly prepare and make a concrete screed, which is also associated with an additional cost. Some garages allow installation directly in the ground - one of such garages is series garage SuperStrongwhich can be mounted using steel drills screwed into the ground and adjustable feet

6.Costs and budget

Last but not least is the budget. Before buying a steel garage, consider how much you are able to spend on this purchase and what are the costs associated with the operation of a steel garage. Look at the prices of different manufacturers and compare offers. Also, don't forget to include additional costs such as transportation, installation, possible upgrades or maintenance in the future. Sometimes a garage that is more expensive to buy can turn out to be much cheaper to maintain than its cheaper counterparts.
