Premium Floors for Superior Durability:
Our portable metal garages are designed with a focus on providing a durable and reliable flooring system. We understand the importance of having a solid foundation that can support heavy loads and withstand the test of time. That’s why we have incorporated a high-quality flooring system that ensures optimal strength and longevity.
The flooring system of our portable metal garages starts with ¾’’ tongue and groove plywood. This type of plywood is known for its exceptional strength and stability. The tongue and groove design creates a tight seal between the plywood panels, preventing any sagging or separation over time. This ensures that your stored items remain safe and secure.
To further enhance the structural integrity of the flooring, we utilize 2×6 pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine floor joists. Pressure-treated wood is treated with chemicals to make it resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage. By using pressure-treated floor joists, we ensure that your flooring system remains strong and reliable even in harsh weather conditions or high-moisture environments.
The combination of the ¾’’ tongue and groove plywood and the pressure-treated floor joists creates a robust and stable foundation for your portable metal garage. This flooring system is designed to withstand heavy loads, such as vehicles, machinery, or stacked storage items, without compromising its integrity.
One of the significant advantages of our portable metal garage flooring is its low maintenance requirements. The pressure-treated floor joists resist decay and rot, eliminating the need for frequent repairs or replacements. The tight seal of the tongue and groove plywood prevents moisture and pests from entering the interior, ensuring the longevity of your flooring system.
With our durable and reliable flooring system, you can have peace of mind knowing that your stored belongings are well-protected and that your portable metal garage will stand the test of time. Whether you’re using it for storage, as a workshop, or for any other purpose, our flooring system provides the stability and strength you need for a functional and long-lasting space.
Craftsmanship and Quality:
Our portable metal garages are constructed with a strong and durable framing system, ensuring the longevity and stability of the structure. The walls are built using 2×4 wall studs placed on 24’’ centers, providing a solid framework. This spacing ensures optimal strength and support for the walls. Additionally, every 4 feet, the wall studs are doubled, reinforcing the structure and enhancing its overall integrity.
To further enhance the strength of the walls, we incorporate a double 2’’x8’’ wall plate. This additional layer of support offers increased stability and helps prevent any bulging or sagging of the walls. It also provides a sturdy base for attaching the exterior siding, ensuring a secure and visually appealing finish.
All exterior wood used in the framing of our portable garages is pressure treated. This treatment process provides enhanced protection against the elements, including moisture, pests, and decay. By using pressure-treated wood, we ensure that your portable garage will withstand the test of time and remain in excellent condition, even in harsh weather conditions.
By utilizing high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship in the framing of our portable garages, we deliver a robust and reliable structure that you can depend on for years to come. Whether you need a portable garage for storage, a workshop, or any other purpose, our sturdy framing system provides the strength and stability required to meet your needs effectively.
Exceptional Siding Options:
Our metal portable garages offer two excellent siding options: lap siding and twin rib pattern aluminum siding. The lap siding is designed to match a variety of siding types commonly found on homes. It provides a seamless integration with your existing siding, giving your garage a cohesive and visually appealing look. The lap siding is made of ⅝th inch pressure-treated T1-11, which is thicker and stronger than ⅜th inch siding, providing enhanced durability and insulation.
For those seeking even greater durability, our twin rib pattern aluminum siding is an ideal choice. This siding design is specially engineered to withstand impact and minimize denting, making it perfect for areas where potential contact with lawn mowers, bikes, or balls is a concern. The twin rib pattern offers increased strength and resilience while maintaining an attractive appearance.
Both lap siding and twin rib pattern aluminum siding require minimal maintenance, making them convenient options for your portable garage. They are built to withstand the elements and resist rot, decay, and warping. The aluminum siding, in particular, has exceptional heat dissipation properties, effectively shielding your stored items from the sun’s rays.
With a range of color options available, you can choose the siding that best complements your home’s exterior. Additionally, you can select a trim color from our extensive palette of 18 colors, allowing you to customize the look of your portable garage even further.
The siding of our metal portable garages provides not only aesthetic appeal but also practical benefits. It offers long-lasting durability, protection against the elements, and an economical solution for your storage needs. Whether you opt for lap siding or twin rib pattern aluminum siding, you can trust that your portable garage will maintain its strength and visual appeal for years to come.
Durable Roofing Options:
The roofing of our portable metal garages is specifically designed to provide long-lasting durability and efficient performance. We use 29GA galvalume steel metal roofing, which is thicker and more robust compared to traditional tin roofs. This high-quality roofing material ensures exceptional strength and a 40-year rating, offering superior protection for your belongings.
One of the key features of our roofing system is the use of vertical roof panels. Unlike horizontally run panels, our vertical orientation allows for better drainage of water, preventing pooling and potential leaks. This design choice ensures that water and debris can efficiently drain off the roof, minimizing the risk of damage and extending the lifespan of your portable garage.
To further enhance the performance and functionality of our roofing, we employ a continuous metal roof system. This system consists of a continuous piece of steel roof metal that extends from one side of the building to the other, with a crimped ridge. By eliminating the need for a traditional metal ridge cap, our continuous metal roof system provides a seamless and leak-proof solution. It effectively guards against water, debris, and pests from entering underneath the roof, ensuring the integrity of your portable garage.
Additionally, we take great care in the installation process by running all roof panels vertically down the pitch. This method follows the natural design of metal roofing and promotes optimal water and debris drainage. By avoiding the shortcut of running panels horizontally, we prioritize the longevity and effectiveness of your roof, providing you with a reliable and durable solution.
To complete the aesthetics and functionality of our roofing, we offer trim work along all eaves and roof transitions. This attention to detail adds a polished and finished look to your portable garage while enhancing its overall curb appeal. Whether it’s protecting your valuable possessions from the elements or maintaining the structural integrity of your portable garage, our roofing system is designed to exceed expectations and provide you with peace of mind.
In summary, our portable metal garages feature roofing that combines strength, efficiency, and longevity. With 29GA galvalume steel metal roofing, vertical roof panels, a continuous metal roof system, and meticulous installation, our roofing provides exceptional durability, efficient water drainage, and a leak-proof guarantee. Trust in our roofing solution to safeguard your belongings and ensure the long-lasting performance of your portable garage.
