Metal garages can benefit residential, commercial, and municipal property owners. They provide durable, customizable, cost-effective covered spaces to protect valuable vehicles, equipment, inventory, and possessions.
Available dimensions allow metal garages to scale realistically accommodate small consumer sedans up to full-sized commercial transports, RVs, agricultural machinery, and more.
The range of metal garage options also empowers owners to specify customized installations catering to their unique needs. This is the case whether that entails essential vehicle parking or fully outfitted workshops supporting projects, hobbies, or small businesses.
Besides flexible sizing options, contemporary metal garages integrate helpful features like insulation, electrical, custom paint colors, reinforced flooring, storage solutions, and specialty doors. These include roll-up, sectional, or retractable styles.
By leveraging exceptionally durable, fire and rot-resistant steel panel construction, today’s modern metal garages withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions that frequently deteriorate lesser storage alternatives like fabric canopies or wooden sheds.
Metal garages defend interiors from snow, hail, gale winds, rain, UV rays, etc. They secure contents inside for decades while elevating property values the day following installation.
What Are 3-Car Garages?
As the name implies, 3-car garages are metal structures designed to house three full-sized vehicles side by side. With wider dimensions, they provide ample interior space for efficiently storing and working on cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and other recreational vehicles.
Many configurations exist when designing 3-car garages, including choices of garage door styles. Some opt for one large door spanning the entire width, while others prefer individual doors for each bay, allowing greater flexibility. Various building heights are also available to accommodate vehicles like SUVs, pickups, and vans easily.
Typical interior dimensions range between 25-30+ feet. This allows adequate room for parking three vehicles in tandem while still facilitating door opening clearance and walking space between. Garages come in standard widths like 20, 22, 26, or 30 feet, but custom sizing remains possible where property layouts allow.
With ongoing manufacturing trends producing ever-larger pickup trucks, SUVs, and luxury vehicles, building standard 3-car metal garages with generous 26-foot interior widths offers present and future buying flexibility.
More consumers embrace plus-sized consumer or commercial trucks for towing while still preserving ample spacing. Taller sidewall heights also ensure adding vertical lift packages or modifying trucks with additional ground clearance poses no parking access issues down the road either.
For homeowners needing ADA-compliant building specifications supporting wheelchair access or disabilities, Bull Buildings project experts readily customize 3-car garages. These include widening entry/exits, integrating accessibility vehicle lifts, wiring automatic handicap door openers, and meeting other essential ADA guidelines applicable to residential structures, ensuring equal access.
All base framework and concrete floor foundations get enhanced to handle heavier 3-car garage loading demands stemming from larger overall structure footprints and improved snow, wind, or seismic qualifications necessary where located. Additional robustness prevents cracking or settling durability issues over decades of use.
Building material selections from durable hot-dipped galvanized steel to simulated cedar or vinyl external façades create stunning curb appeal matching surrounding architectural aesthetics in both rural pastoral or upscale suburban settings.
While vehicles remain a top priority, additional length availability allows further segmenting interior spaces to accommodate hobbies, storage needs, and workshop functionality through customizable partition wall placement and groupings.
Heating and cooling installations convert 3-car garages into comfortable year-round workshop or activity spaces by regulating temperatures, humidity, and ventilation according to regional climatic challenges. Enhanced lighting solutions improve visibility and safety and extend working hours by supplementing abundant natural daylighting with integrated LED fixtures on timers or sensors.
Benefits of Building 3-Car Garages
A sizable 3-car garage furnishes homeowners with numerous advantages beyond just vehicle parking. The spacious interiors, averaging 600 – 800 square feet, supply ample room to shelter all household vehicles in one protected location.
This proactively prevents exteriors and engines from incurring weather damage from exposure to harsh sun, precipitation, storms, and temperature extremes over the years left outdoors. Meticulous owners preserve pristine finishes and engine performance, shielding their automotive investments.
Another prime benefit centers on convenience. Having all vehicles parked under one roof alleviates time wasted hunting around properties for where a particular car or truck was last left. It also eliminates the haphazard jumbling of vehicles on unsightly driveways and yards.
The garages actively provide orderly, dedicated parking for more straightforward access. Quicker availability saves precious minutes when heading out on work commutes, school pickups, or activities. Consolidation also facilitates monitoring vehicles closely for servicing needs.
The generous dimensions further accommodate integrating storage solutions to organize gear proactively. Purposeful homeowners actively incorporate floor-to-ceiling shelving units, cabinets, bins, and lockers to neatly arrange tools, sporting equipment, household goods, and more in their logical sections.
Wall-mounted slat panels, racks, and hooks harness vertical space for ladders, hoses, bikes, and lumber. Householders can conveniently keep everything necessary protected from exterior temperature and moisture fluctuations.
The expansive, empty floor area quickly transforms into a comfortable workspace for tackling hobbies or DIY projects. It welcomes the integration of sizable workbenches, tables, hobby equipment, and supplies. Homeowners no longer need to battle Mother Nature’s unpredictable elements when focusing on pastimes they enjoy. The covered space fosters year-round access for woodworking, mechanics, arts and crafts, and more personal pursuits.
For household trade workers, the roomy buildings actively supply ideal secured locations for storing specialty gear, inventory, and vehicles required in their professions. Now, skilled homeowners can launch side businesses in welding, contractors, landscaping, appliance repair, auto servicing, and similar fields needing ample square footage. Their enterprises remain productive through all seasons while avoiding expensive commercial leasing.
Regarding resale value, construction of any size metal garage – especially 3-car buildings – frequently supplies significant beneficial equity boosts, which appraisers actively recognize. The in-demand buildings provide protected parking capacity and workspace that many older homes lack.
This makes updated properties more desirable to prospective buyers who pay premiums over outdated housing with mere carports or dilapidating garages. When selling the home later, current owners also recoup excellent return on investment – anywhere from 50% to over 100% of the original build cost.
Multi-generational and young families occupying homes particularly appreciate the 3-car buildings for comfortably housing their assorted vehicles. The structures eliminate jumbled street parking that is inconvenient when needing to leave quickly. Parents also rest easier with automobiles secured off roads at night where risks of vandalism or drunk drivers exist.
Vehicle enthusiasts take pride in showcasing their cherished sports cars, lifted trucks, and prestige rides indoors rather than curbside. The buildings actively preserve flawless exteriors and interiors by minimizing exposure to UV rays, tree drippings, frost, and salt corrosion from roads. Prized finishes, leather seating, electronics, and engines operate damage-free for years ahead.
During festive occasions, households also utilize the buildings for ancillary party hosting space. Guests mingle comfortably protected from unpredictable weather when they celebrate graduations, reunions, weddings, and milestone birthdays atop poured concrete flooring that is effortless to decorate and clean up afterward.
Overall, sizable 3-car steel garages actively supply owners with year-round durable shelters for conveniently housing vehicles while delivering adaptable workspace or storage to organize valuables.
The buildings proactively protect and preserve automobiles in prime operational condition for decades while delivering multipurpose rooms accommodating hobbies, enterprises, or celebrations. They do so while boosting property aesthetics, functionality, and resale marketability for homeowners wishing to upgrade.
