One Car Garage

A single-car metal garage is a great way to protect the family vehicle from the elements. These structures range in size from around 12’ to 24’ wide and are engineered to keep your things safe from rain, wind, snow, and pretty much anything nature throws your way. They offer enough space to house a single sedan-sized vehicle and can be customized to fit any home or farm.

The Benefits and Applications for One-Car Garages


One-car garages do more than just store your vehicles! These adaptable structures possess a go-anywhere, do-anything attitude that makes them a keen choice for:

Vehicle Garage - The most obvious use is protecting your car, truck, or motorcycle from the elements. A metal garage is a go-to choice for keeping your vehicle safe from harsh weather, UV damage, and potential theft.

Workshop or Hobby Space - Need a dedicated spot for woodworking, crafting, or tinkering with engines? A one-car garage provides a secure and organized area to focus on your projects without interruptions.

Home Gym - Turn your garage into a personal workout space with a few pieces of equipment, some mats, and good ventilation - you’ve got everything you need to break a sweat at home.

Garden Storage and Organization - From seasonal decorations to lawn equipment, a metal garage is an excellent solution for keeping your home clutter-free and organized.

Home Office or Studio - A one-car garage can be transformed into a quiet office or an art studio. It’s a great way to have a separate space while staying close to home.

Motorcycle or ATV Storage - Not everyone owns a car, but motorcycles, ATVs, and even small boats need protection too! A one-car garage offers just the right amount of space to store and maintain these vehicles.
