Garages are like Metal Carports. They have been around longer but have become very popular lately.
You can get a garage in almost any size and with many different features. Some people get a standard 16X7 garage door in there Garage, while others will get two of the smaller 8X7. It's all about personal preference.
Some people will use there garage to store items or to park there cars in it. Others will turn there garage into a work shop. No matter what your needs are there is a garage out there for you.
On this site we will mainly talk about metal or steel garages. Later on we might discuss wood garages, but we'll save that for later.
Now days garages can come with walk in doors, roll up doors, windows, vents, and almost anything else you can think of. The walk thru doors are usually either 36" or 48" wide and start at 6' tall and go up.
With roll up doors theres greater options to get. You can usually get the following sizes: 8X7, 9X7, 10X7, 8X10, 9X10, and 10X10. These are the most common types of workshop doors. You could also get bigger doors like 12X12's if you really needed something that tall and wide. Theres really no wrong size to get. It's always good to tell the people you are ordering the garage from what you plan to do and they can recommend the right door for you.
Another more popular door these days are the 16X7 garage doors. These are the standard size of roll up doors built on home garages. These doors are more than enough to pull two vehicles in(as long as you don't have a really jacked up truck).
These garages are usually built on top of concrete slabs, but there are some people who just put them on the ground and are happy. Some companies will be able to pour the slab for you while others will request that you get the slab and then they can come set up your garage.
