The Metal Garages People Can’t Get Enough Of
For those who have embraced the incredible versatility of custom steel garages to keep their vehicle and other possessions safe and secure, or for some other creative purpose, these are some of the best we offer at Global Carport.
How to Choose the Right Roof for Your Metal Garage
The type of weather you experience locally is the most important factor when choosing the type of roof to put on your steel garage. At Global Carport, our experienced building experts will help you figure out if a regular roof, an A-frame roof, or a vertical roof is the best choice for you.
Vertical Roof Garages
If extreme weather like windstorms or massive snowfalls are part of your life, a vertical roof metal garage is the best choice by far. Visually similar to the A-frame roof but with a critical structural difference: the steel panels are aligned vertically rather than horizontally, allowing snow and other debris to slide right off instead of accumulating.
A-Frame Roof Garages
An A-frame roof for your metal garage provides a style and durability upgrade over the regular roof. It has the same horizontal panels as a regular roof, but have box eave trim on the sides. It is also best used in milder climates.
Regular Roof Garages
The simplest and most affordable steel garage roof is also the popular. Perfect for protecting your equipment and vehicles from the weather. The regular roof has horizontally aligned panels and a rounded shape with the incredible durability of our premium steel. Best deployed in places with fairly mild weather.
More Than Just Somewhere to Park Your Car: Creative Applications for Prefab Metal Garages
At Global Carport, we believe that customization is the key to finding the right steel garage solution for everyone. Here are five unique ways customers use our versatile garage buildings:
Recording Studio

Garage Apartment/Guest Room
With a little creativity, you can design a cozy little bachelor apartment using one of our steel garages, providing a handy place for unexpected guests to stay, or a potential new revenue stream for you!
Home Office
Thanks to the pandemic, more people are working from home than ever before, but it can be hard to eliminate distractions when trying to work from the living room. The solution? A dedicated metal garage custom-designed as a home office!
Man Cave (or She Shed)

By now, you may have caught on to the fact that versatile customization is something we’re very proud of at Global Carport. We’ve got a ton of options available to help you design a perfect metal garage for your needs. Our customization options include:
Size
We don’t believe every problem can be solved with a set of ‘standard options’, so we allow you to customize the sizing of your metal garage to suit the needs of your specific project. At Global Carport, our metal garages can start as small as 20 feet wide, and go all the way up to 100 feet wide if you need the space. The same is true with height, no matter what kind of vehicle or equipment you’ve got, we can make your metal garage as tall as you need.
Roof Styles
The right roof is critical to preserve the long-term durability of your metal garage and protect whatever you’ve got inside. Whether you need a Regular, A-Frame, or Vertical Roof, we’ve got you covered.
Doors & Windows
We’ve got a wide range of different options available depending on what you want to use your custom metal garage for, including:
- Garage Doors
- Roll-up Doors
- Walk-In Doors
- Frame Outs

Anchors
Anchors for your metal garage can really boost stability, especially if it’s not installed on a concrete pad. We have suitable options to help keep your structure firmly in place when the wind picks up.
12- & 14- Gauge Steel Framing
The standard thickness of the metal used for the frame and roof of your metal garage is measured as a gauge. We offer a standard 14- gauge framing and the option to upgrade to the thicker, stronger 12- gauge option.
26- & 29- Gauge Roofing
We also offer two different gauges of roofing, our standard 29- gauge roofing, as well as an upgraded 26- gauge roofing material if you want to make sure your garage is as durable as possible.
Certifications
We offer a full certification option if you live in an area that requires you to submit blueprint drawings to your local building department. The package includes certification of the wind rating up to 140 mph and the capability of handling a 30-psf snow load, as well as mobile anchors. Certified garages from Global Carport are stronger, more reliable, and longer-lasting.
