We put a metal garage on the site, a quick and reliable solution for storing a car
What to do if a country house is already there, and you need to put the purchased car somewhere? Someone is content simply with a platform near the gate, someone makes a canopy, but the garage will certainly be the most reliable shelter for a car. The right solution would be to install a metal garage, as this event is characterized by optimal financial and time costs. The availability, variety and low price of concrete, sheet iron and lumber will allow you to choose the material needed specifically for a particular object. Consider the various options for metal garages, the rules for their installation and equipment.

Territory preparation
It is logical that it is better not to put a metal garage in the sun, therefore, when choosing a place for a garage, you need to proceed from the principle of the maximum shaded area, this may be the sunny side of the house or the space between the trees.
The territory must be leveled and precisely marked. If the garage is being built close to the house or the fence, an economical version of the common wall can be provided, if there is a distance, then it should be at least 50 cm for a person to freely pass, as garbage and fallen leaves will need to be removed. There should be enough space for water collection tanks, since the drainage device needs to be given special attention so that water does not drip along the walls, does not accumulate in bumps and then does not get inside the garage.
Garage foundation
Both for a stationary and a collapsible garage, it is better to make concrete foundation. It can be either tape or continuous. The load on the surface is small, so a minimum deepening of the foundation will be sufficient. It is important to correctly install the embedded parts, so that later you can easily weld or screw them to the general design of the garage. This will protect the structure from tipping over in case of a strong gust of wind. With difficulties with cement work, the foundation can be made on screw metal stilts.
Sectional metal garage
Installation of this type of garages (it is also called a garage-pencil case or Shell) does not require significant costs, in addition, the sectional metal garage is easy to operate and can even be mounted on a wooden base, which simplifies the construction process.
However, sectional garages have a number of drawbacks leading ultimately to their fragility, which include just a wooden base (it must be periodically changed due to rotting of the tree) and deformation of the structure, since the sections are interconnected only in places and each under different loads will behave differently.
Prefabricated metal garage
The prefabricated garages are solved by metal prefabricated garages, which are mounted by electric welding from profiled or sheet iron onto a rigid frame.
Of course, these are additional difficulties during installation, these are additional materials for the manufacture of gates, but all this is more than compensated by reliability and an aesthetic component.
Collapsible metal garage
If there is a need to periodically dismantle the car storage room, you can take advantage of the proposal to install a collapsible metal garage, which has the advantages of a prefabricated one, only all its parts are fastened not by welding, but by mounting hardware: bolts, screws, anchors, etc.
It is important to remember that the hardware must be well lubricated so that when disassembling there are no problems with unscrewing them.
DIY metal garage
If it is impossible to buy a finished metal garage and lack of funds to pay wage workers, it is possible to make a metal dIY garage, and due to the relative ease of the building materials used, it is not even necessary to attract special equipment, two people will completely cope with the work. This process is good because ideas that suddenly come to mind during installation can be tested immediately and abandoned if they do not fit. The video shows in detail how to make a metal garage yourself.
Garage Equipment
After installation, the garage must be equipped with lighting, using special materials for wet and cold rooms. A gander must be installed at the entry point of the wires. The correct solution would be to install a small workbench and racks for storing auto accessories. Inside, a metal garage is preferably upholstered with lining. This will additionally insulate the design and give a noble appearance. If there is a sloping roof, the ceiling is appropriately studded.
If minor repairs to the machine are carried out independently, a repair pit is quite appropriate. If the country house is not provided cellar for storage products in the new garage, you can easily equip it.
Garage ventilation
In the summer cottage there will be enough natural ventilation, based on the principle of temperature difference, for which, according to a simple scheme, holes are cut out in the walls or gate and metal or ceramic outlet pipes are installed in the roof.
