Prefabricated Garage Kits Buyer’s Guide

Welcome to PrefabricatedGarageKits.com, where you will find just the right garage kit for your storage needs.

Garages are more than just places to park cars or store holiday decorations. Garages are unique and important parts of every household. Whether you use it for storage, a workshop, or housing your vehicle, a garage adds much-needed protected space to your home.

The great news is that if you don’t currently have a garage, or you find yourself needing more space, you can assemble your own building quickly and easily. What once took weeks to erect can now come to fruition in your driveway in a matter of days.

Protection

Your car, truck, boat, or ATV is a big investment, and one that needs protecting.

Garages shield your autos from nature’s worst weather, the damaging effects of the sun, and would-be vandals or robbers.

Of course, garages also store your stuff, and can provide a workspace whether you dabble in grease, wood, or arts and crafts.

Weather

If you live in an area where winters can be harsh, you know how nice it can be to get into a car that isn’t covered with snow or ice, or have to pry your frozen doors open.

In some parts of the country, golf ball and softball-sized hail are not exaggerations. At least once a year, somewhere in the South or the Heartland, we hear reports of damaging hail and wind. While a garage is not an absolute guarantee against weather damage, it sure goes a long way in helping.

Sun

Likewise, the scorching sun can make getting into your vehicle a torture test. Not to mention the damage the long hours of baking do to your paint and upholstery.

A garage can help shield against UV damage and dangerously hot interiors.

Vandalism

Even an unlocked garage is a deterrent for those who might want to steal or damage your vehicle or belongings. Simply put, out of sight is out of mind.

Why a Garage Kit?

Why purchase a garage kit instead of building one from the ground up, or hiring someone else?

With a kit, everything you need arrives in one convenient, affordable package. You can build the garage yourself in a few days, or if you prefer, you can contract out for the labor.

Kits are more convenient than trying to plan and execute a garage on your own, and they’re more affordable than paying a builder to come to your site.

Cost

A garage kit is far more affordable than building a conventional garage.

No matter what your budget, you can find a garage that fits it.

Garage kits at PrefabricatedGarageKits start at $3400 for a 12’ x 20’ model and go all the way up to $62,000 for one large enough to house a small business plus a fleet of vehicles.

The price of your kit will vary depending mainly on the finished size of garage you desire, and will change with added features. You can add in a variety of options, including garage doors, pedestrian doors, and windows. You can also opt for insulation and garage door openers.

Expect additional costs for extra features such as doors or windows, or if you want to upgrade from 29 to 26-gauge steel siding.

All prefabricated garage kits from PrefabricatedGarageKits are from VersaTube, one of the most well-known and reputable names in prefabricated garages and carports.

Durability

Metal garages are superior to wood-built structures, and can stand up to environmental deterioration, fire, insects, and even rodent damage. The occasional knock from your bumper or door might scratch your paint, but it won’t affect your garage a bit.

Once you invest in a metal garage, you have made an investment for a lifetime.

Convenience

Metal garages from PrefabricatedGarageKits are easy to order, install, and maintain.

Building or contracting a garage can mean waiting weeks or months for your finished product, but with a kit, you’re ready to go in a matter of hours. Most garage kits require only a screwdriver and hammer for assembly, and you can set up a shelter on almost any level surface.

VersaTube offers some of the easiest assembly in the industry with its rectangular swaged tubing. The flat surface on the tubing provides for easier assembly when applying screws and sheet metal panels.

Design

VersaTube offers several basic garage styles that you can further customize with color and add-on options.

Where Do I Buy a Garage Kit?

Websites like PrefabricatedGarageKits simply offer the widest selection and best prices anywhere.

When shopping online, beware of pricing. A model that displays for $2900 might become $3300 when you get to the checkout and they have tacked on sales tax and shipping charges. Not with PrefabricatedGarageKits.

PrefabricatedGarageKits offers free shipping, no sales tax, and a 30-day return policy, in addition to the warranties offered by the manufacturers.

Ordering

Once you have decided on a garage kit, check and double-check your measurements. In addition to knowing your dimensions, decide how many windows, pedestrian doors, and garage doors you would like to have. Find the kit that most closely matches your needs. VersaTube offers a variety of dimensions with multiple add-ons.

Then just give us a call. We can walk you through every step of the process, or just finish the sale—it’s up to you.

How Do I Assemble It?

Now that you have decided on a garage kit, how do you put it together?

Each kit comes with complete instructions and all the hardware you need. There are also assembly videos available at the PrefabricatedGarageKits site.

A power screwdriver will make short work of the numerous bolts and screw, and you might want to recruit some friends to lend a hand. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges.

If you are building a very large garage, or one with several special or intricate features, you may want to contract out the assembly.

Whether you do it yourself or pay someone else to do it, make sure you have the proper local permits before building your garage, and be sure you have taken into account any property setbacks, CCR’s, or other issues.

Metal Garage Care

Protect your investment by taking good care of it. Metal garages are low maintenance, and a good washing every few years with soap and water are all it needs. You may wish to use a sealant on your new garage so future cleanup is even easier.
