Choosing a prefab garage kit is a great deal for your pocket and your mind.
What if You Could Have One Space for Multiple Purposes?
There are many options to go with when considering storage spaces, that go from different and unique functions to a variety of materials and even prices. So what if you could have one space for multiple purposes, that could last longer and meet your quality standards? That’s what Patrick, a Metal Pro™ client from Ariss, Ontario, had in mind when choosing his next building acquisition.
In need of an extra space that worked as a garage, a storage unit and a workshop place at the same time, Patrick decided to go for a DIY style process and bought his brand new metal building: our Quonset Econospan Style. When questioned about his choice, he affirms: “I went with a steel building because it is pretty well made and then pretty much maintenance free”. Considering his needs, our functional and efficient Econospan garage building filled all the boxes, as the absence of overhead obstructions offered by this model opens numerous possibilities for your design, giving enough space for endless storage necessities.
Other outstanding advantages of metal building kits are their impressive durability and the lack of maintenance needed. As these are very common worries, it is important to highlight how metal structures differentiate themselves from regular ones: their long-lasting structures are made of the highest-graded steel available in the industry (AZ180 steel). Translating, you won’t spend tons of money on repairs and it will last years to come. If you think of wood structures, that’s another story.
Less Time To Build, More Style To Explore!
When we think about the building process, the first thing that comes to mind is the time-consuming steps and the battle to put it together. That has been a pet peeve for centuries, right? But, this is not a problem for this kind of structure, as prefab Quonset buildings can be put together by only a few people in a short period of time, as simple as it is, and there’s no catch! In this particular case, our experts were able to erect it within a week, because when using a building kit, you’ll only have a user-friendly manual and a simple metal structure to construct that comes with nuts and bolts in one size.
You might also be thinking that metal buildings are one way to go, with no style options when it comes to structural design, colours and accessories. Fortunately, that’s not true! The magic of these building kits is that you can explore a world of opportunities. Modern steel architecture is totally capable of matching your pre-existing building, blending with a particular aesthetic that you prefer. In Patrick’s case, he decided to go with double doors as well as an endwall colour that matched his houses. Prefab garages can be designed according to your needs and preferences: windows, doors, closed and opened concepts, and even a sky lighting for more natural light use, instead of spending more money on your hydro bill.
Now, last but not least: the price. If you had to guess which one would cost less: regular buildings made of concrete and wood or a steel structure? If you thought of steel, you are on the right track! It costs less to buy and to keep, because you won’t have problems with rotting and pest infestation, for example, meaning that the need for maintenance, as said before, is quite low. According to Patrick, it was one of the advantages that made him choose this path, as during the time of his decision-making process, the lumber prices were sky-high.
Thanks to the amount of possibilities and the support from our engineers and experts to adapt your preferences, our client achieved all that easily and in a straightforward process. “Everything was explained in advance so that makes a big difference”, says Patrick. His story is one of the many ones that shows the strength of this type of structure and its flexibility.
