Steel Garage Kits & Buildings
DIY Garage Buildings precision engineered to go up in days and for less than 2 by 4 construction
Are you in need of sheltered parking for your vehicle, but hesitant about the cost? Look no further. Steel garage kits offer an attractive and functional addition to your home, at an even more attractive price tag with prices starting at just $7,500 for a single car garage.
Hiring a builder can be costly, but a ready-to-assemble steel garage kit is the perfect solution to homeowners on a budget. Assembling a metal garage allows you to not only build a high-quality structure at a low-cost, but it can be an unbelievably rewarding experience for do-it-yourselfers of every skill set. Garage kit buildings provided by our suppliers offer you the opportunity to practice a variety of skills, from pouring a concrete foundation to framing and erecting walls, to hanging soffits and fascia. Once erected, you can stand back and take pride in your accomplishment every time you park your vehicle.
Building on the exceptional structural integrity of our prefab metal buildings, self-build steel garage kits can be customized with a myriad of exterior finishes. From siding to brick, masonry or stucco, the exterior appearance of your garage can either extend and complement the architecture and style of your house, or can take on a unique and individual aesthetic to act as a “conversation piece” alongside your home. Whichever route you decide to take, the options are limitless with a DIY steel garage kit.
While many people will choose a DIY garage kit for the protection and shelter it promises for their vehicles, there’s no reason why that covered parking spot can’t be transformed into a relaxing retreat, exciting entertainment and gaming area, a woodworking shop or even a moving screening room.
A starting off point for any number of end uses, placing an order for a steel garage kit is the first step in sparking some creativity.

Whether you decide to build an attached or detached garage, there are both advantages and disadvantages to both styles.
An attached garage allows homeowners to avoid walking outside in inclement weather and can be built near a kitchen to allow for efficient transportation of groceries from your vehicle directly to the pantry.
However, depending on where the garage is built on the property, it could potentially obstruct a window and result in a loss of light on one side of the home.
Generally speaking, most houses look better without an attached garage. A detached garage allows light to enter the house for all four sides and tends to offer more space inside for multiple vehicles, a workshop, studio, home office or even guesthouse.
A third option is a partially attached-detached garage, which offers the best of both worlds. This style of garage is mostly detached, with an attachment to the house in the form of a breezeway. The advantage of this type of garage is that the breezeway can easily be transformed into a mudroom, offering more storage space and a separate area in which to leave mucky shoes or wet raincoats.
Quick and Easy Assembly: Do-It-Yourself Kit makes assembly quick and easy. In just a few weekends, with the help of a few friends or family members, your garage kit will be a fully assembled and fully functional enclosed parking spot for your vehicle.
Cost Savings: An economical alternative to hiring a contractor, a DIY kit will save you money on labor. By choosing steel, a low-cost alternative to lumber, you can expect to save up to 60% on materials. A metal garage is also highly resistant to decay, mildew, and rust due to its zinc and an aluminum alloy coating, and will result in lower maintenance costs over time. Steel’s fireproof qualities also ensure you will see lower insurance premiums, saving you even more money down the line.
Durability: Termite, rot, and mold-resistant, steel is also non-combustible and will require little in the way of maintenance. Enjoy seeing your garage building lasting for generations to come with little to no repairs.
Protection: The stable interior climate provided by a prefab garage also increases the lifespan of your vehicle and protects against rust and corrosion of the exterior finish, and mold growth on the interior. Your stored goods and vehicles will be well protected in a metal garage.
Strength: Steel has an incredibly high strength to weight ratio, and is one the strongest and most durable construction materials on the market. Strong enough to withstand hurricanes, gale-force winds, and even tornadoes, a kit garage provides first-rate protection against harsh weather and damaging sun rays. With a metal garage, you can rest assured knowing your vehicle is in the best shelter available.
Green: Steel is one of the most environmentally friendly alternatives to timber on the construction market. As a 100 percent recyclable material, most manufactured steel today also contains an average of 25 percent recycled content. Keep landfills free of construction materials and reduce your carbon footprint by choosing steel for your garage kit.
