Fully Enclosed Steel Garages

When simple coverage isn't enough, a fully enclosed steel garage provides a secure, weather-tight environment for workshops, classic cars, or secure storage.

1. Total Protection

Unlike a carport, a garage protects your assets from 360 degrees of wind, rain, and theft.

• Security: Enclosed units allow for locking roll-up doors and walk-in entry doors.
• Curb Appeal: Full enclosure allows for two-tone color schemes and a sophisticated architectural look.

2. Components of a Steel Garage

• Roll-up Doors: Available in sizes from 6'x6' to 12'x12'.
• Walk-In Doors: Standard 36" x 80" steel entry doors for human access.
• Windows: 30" x 30" or 30" x 36" optional windows for natural light and ventilation.

3. The 12-Gauge Advantage

For enclosed buildings, we highly recommend upgrading to 12-gauge framing.

• Strength: Enclosed walls catch more wind (wind load); 12-gauge steel provides the safety margin needed for large flat surfaces.
• Warranty: 12-gauge units often carry a longer rust-through warranty.

4. Foundation Needs

A level concrete slab is almost always recommended for an enclosed garage to ensure doors operate smoothly and insects/water can't get under the base rails.
