Steel Sheds and Garages - What You Should Know As a Buyer


The popularity of steel sheds and garages has grown dramatically in recent years. These are easier and quicker to construct than their brick and wood counterparts. Besides, they are usually cheaper as well. The really great thing is that they will last unchanged for decades to come. Of course, it is necessary for you to be extra careful as a buyer in order to get all of these benefits and more.

Steel sheds and garages are available from different manufacturers. What the buyer gets is a kit with the building's plan and a complete set of all the materials necessary for constructing the building. The materials include metal panels for the walls and roof, frames and trusses, to name the main items.

Typically, steel sheds and garages require foundations so that they can be used functionally. The materials for the foundation are not included in the package. This is because the buyer may already have foundation and because they can choose the type of foundation material they prefer. Concrete, paving slabs and gravel are among the main options. Then you can install special flooring if necessary.

These structures are made not just from any kind of steel. The metal used is typically electro-galvanized. These treatment makes is stronger and resistant to fire. The latter is particularly important in areas with abundant vegetation and dry season. In addition to being electro-galvanized, the steel gets a tough baked enamel finish. This finish makes it perfectly rust resistant. The metal will not be affected by rainwater in any way. The steel has pretty good UV resistance as well.

The steel sheds and garages can be made from metal sheets with different thickness. Usually, buyers have a choice between 12-gauge and 14-gauge panels, but other options may be available as well. In general, the thicker the metal is the stronger it is. Additionally, thicker sheets provide better insulation from the outside environment. They are more expensive, but the higher price is certainly worth it.

Steel is generally a very light and versatile material. As a result, you can find steel sheds and garages of all designs and sizes. You have a complete freedom when it comes to selecting the length and width. In addition, you can have different compartments within the shed or garage. Many owners of more than one vehicle have two or more separate garage compartments. These can have different heights as well depending on the heights of the parked vehicles.

Choose carefully between the available steel sheds and garages and consider custom solutions that will match your requirements perfectly.
