A Guide to Garage Kits
70
If your home doesn’t have an attached garage, garage kits might be just what you’ve been searching for. Even if you already have an attached garage or a built-in carport, you’ll find numerous uses for an extra garage. Maybe you have a two-car garage but have three automobiles. Or perhaps you need somewhere to park your camper or boat. The uses for garage kits are practically endless.
What are garage kits?
Garage kits are prefabricated buildings that come with simple step-by-step instructions. The best ones are constructed of metal framing and have an exterior made of metal that resembles lap siding. The roofs are pitched to shed water and snow.
Most garage kits can be assembled and erected in a few days, and they make a great weekend project. Only simple tools are needed to complete the task, and most homeowners will be able to do the job themselves, with a little help from family members or friends.
Prefab metal garage kits are an excellent option and have several advantages over stick-built garages. They’re stronger, they last longer, and they go up much more quickly and easy, greatly reducing the cost of labor.
Types of garage kits
Garage kits come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations. For example, you can opt for windows and pedestrian doors in addition to the garage door itself. You might also choose an automatic garage door that lifts and lowers with the press of a button. In addition, garage kits come in several colors.
Uses for garage kits
Of course, the most obvious use for garage kits is to store and protect your automobile from the weather, but there are many more uses. They’re also a great place to store your boat, camper, and ATVs to keep them safe from theft and from the elements. You can also use garage kits to create workshops, craft rooms, game rooms, or even playrooms for the kids. You might also use the extra space to store some of your “stuff” to get it out of your house.
A garage kit makes an excellent venue for repairing or restoring campers, cars, and trucks, too. Add a heater for winter and an air conditioner for the hot months, and you’ll have a comfortable place to work year round.
How much do garage kits cost?
Small garage kits generally start at around $3,500. A garage kit for a very large garage might cost as much as $18,000. By shopping around, you’ll be able to find a garage kit to meet your specific needs and one that will fit your budget. Many manufacturers of garage kits offer free shipping, so you won’t have to worry about traveling to pick up the kit or about paying exorbitant shipping costs.
Where to buy garage kits
Because of the size of garage kits, you’re not going to find them set up in traditional stores – even in large home improvement centers. Of course, you might be able to travel to the manufacturers’ sites to see some examples of completed kits. The easiest way, however, to see examples of garage kits and do comparison shopping is online.
