Are you planning to build a custom garage for your home? You can have it built by a trusted contractor using either metal or wood, and they come with their unique benefits and drawbacks. If you’re not sure what to pick, we suggest checking out our comparison below.
This type of material has been the traditional building material for garages or any other residential structures long before anyone thought of using metal. You can find wooden garages in prefabricated kits or hire a professional contractor to build one for you from the ground up. The factory-made kits are often easier to handle as they can be assembled as soon as they’re delivered onsite. They can also have custom doors, windows, ventilation systems and other features that suit your needs and preferences.
Many types of steel garages usually come prefabricated and delivered to your home. Since most of the major components are made in a factory, they only need to be assembled. Steel garages come in a wide range of styles, sizes and configurations, and they can be ordered with custom metal supplies, components and other features, such as lighting and windows.
There are several factors to consider when choosing between metal or wood for your garage project. Wood garages tend to be more attractive and easy to construct, but they can be more expensive to build and maintain. They’re also not as sustainable compared to steel garages, which can be made from recycled materials. Steel garages are also more durable than wood as they’re impervious to rot and have high resistance to fire and other weather conditions. They even last around 20 to 30 years, which is much longer than most wood garages.
