Garages are not just parking spaces. With a bit of effort and creativity, they can be attractive, functional spaces that can serve other purposes. Perhaps you’re thinking about adding a workshop, an organized storage area, or even an extra living space. How about space for a car collection? Anything is possible with modern metal garage building packages from the top fabricator of pre-engineered metal buildings.
Metal buildings provide exceptional flexibility, featuring clear-span layouts that include larger door openings. Depending on your needs, a steel garage can be designed with few to no interior columns, allowing you to customize specific areas for storage and other purposes. Below are some design tips for maximizing your space.
Make the most of vertical space.
The clear-span design of metal garage buildings allows for all open usable space to the ceiling, and you can use this vertical space to maximize storage. Wall-mounted cabinets or high shelves keep items off the ground to prevent clutter. Meanwhile, top shelves are practical for storing things you don't usually need, such as holiday decorations and camping gear.
You can also try ceiling-mounted storage solutions. Metal garage building packages can be designed to support all manner of different loads so they can handle anything, including ceiling-mounted or overhead storage. These storage solutions are practical for keeping seasonal equipment out of the way. Plus, they are ideal for storing items like skis, kayaks, and bikes.
Add workbenches and versatile furniture.
Looking to turn your garage into a workshop for your DIY projects? Then you need workbenches that can handle anything, from car repairs to woodworking. But don't forget versatility! Consider options like foldable workbenches or those with built-in storage to maximize your space. For even greater flexibility, try using convertible furniture such as rolling tool carts that double as work surfaces and foldable benches that you can neatly tuck away when not in use. This way, your garage can seamlessly switch between workshop and parking space without sacrificing precious square footage.
Go for modular shelving solutions.
Metal garage building packages offer the flexibility to expand your workspace as needed, so you need adaptable storage solutions that can keep up. Modular shelves can be reconfigured and adjusted to meet your changing storage requirements. Look for options with adjustable shelves to accommodate items of all sizes.
Make dedicated zones
Divide the metal garage into specific zones according to your activities. They can be dedicated spaces for automotive work, woodworking, hobbies, and storage.
