Sea Can Garage

A sea can garage or a garage made using shipping containers is rapidly becoming one of the most popular construction methods with pre fab buildings. This is because shipping containers can be used in place of walls and other structures within a metal building saving you on construction costs if you already have containers at your disposal. Learn why you need a sea can garage if you already have shipping containers to work with.

Affordability of Sea Can Garages

When you decide to craft a sea can garage, all you really need is a roof depending on what you plan to use it for and how much protection the interior contents need. That alone will cut down on construction costs significantly since a metal roof can easily be connected to two shipping containers. Most cases involve creating an arched roof, so you’ll need some extra material if you want the entire garage enclosed.

If you’re looking for something more than a simple roof kit, you can easily enclose the shipping container with the roof area entirely with a full prefab building kit. Building kits are remarkably easy to deal with as the pieces are already cut for you before being shipped to your construction site. Since the pieces are made to easily fit together, you can save on labor costs as well by constructing it yourself or with minimal help depending on the size. Additionally, steel buildings’ durability makes maintenance more affordable in the long term as well.

Simple Construction with Prefabricated Roof Trusses

Adding traditional storage to your property can be very time consuming and expensive. For instance, when you’re constructing a building, you will almost always need to pour a concrete foundation. This can both increase your costs and the amount of time that will be needed to complete your project. If you want to add storage space without wasting your valuable time or hard-earned money, you need to use a container cover.

When you install those covers, there is no need to add a structural base to your buildings, as your actual shipping containers will serve this purpose. With a container cover, you’ll be able to use the space between and inside your containers to fulfill your storage and workspace needs. With our container trusses, you’ll be able to save your money and time.

Foundation For Garages

When you decide to craft a sea can garage, all you really need is a roof depending on what you plan to use it for and how much protection the interior contents need. That alone will cut down on construction costs significantly since a metal roof can easily be connected to two shipping containers. Most cases involve creating an arched roof, so you’ll need some extra material if you want the entire garage enclosed.

 

The Longevity Of Garages

Whether you get roof trusses or an entire pre-engineered metal building, you can be sure that your structure is built to last. Metal is inherently durable, especially when compared to other common materials like wood. Over time, wood will rot, and it can shift and warp with temperature changes. In order to maintain the integrity of the structure with those elements at play, it will take extensive maintenance. To maintain steel building in Manitoba, all you really need to do is give it a wash every now and then and make sure there aren’t any trees around that could potentially fall and crush the structure.

Steel on its own is already impressively durable, but quality steel building materials come with a few extra assurances you can enjoy. For example, roof covers for steel garage can be equipped with a UV and rust-resistant Galvalume Plus coating that will keep it strong even when put up against harsh sun and heavy rain for years. If you have to deal with extreme weather in Canada at times, steel is practically the only viable option, so this coating can push its longevity even further.

    When I was looking for a smaller steel garage/port, I was extremely fortunate to have a salesman named Jude Cassimy help me with that I was looking for. He showed me exactly what I wanted and gave me quotes very quickly. Jude had great communication and was extremely thorough in trying to help me. Although I decided to go a different direction, Jude continued to have great service and provided support with questions. Metal Pro Buildings clearly has a high standard when it comes to business and customer service. Thank you!
