Tired of your car getting buried under feet of snow? Or getting soaking wet trying to get in the house? We’ve all been there, and it can be very frustrating. With a pre-engineered metal garage in Illinois, you no longer need to worry about any of this!
Types of Metal Garages in IL
The convenience of a metal garage has allowed it to take the spot of Illinois’s favorite parking and storage space. If you’re a homeowner in need of a shelter for your vehicle/s and other valuables, a fully-enclosed garage is the perfect solution for you! Depending on your intentions for the steel structure, there is a variety of garage types to choose from:
- One-car garages are recommended for customers who only need shelter for one small vehicle or outdoor equipment. While a IL one-car garage is built for one vehicle, there is still additional interior space that is great for storage.
- Illinois two-car steel garages are designed and engineered to fit two small or medium-sized vehicles inside. Some customers even order this garage size for one vehicle and end up using the remaining interior space for storage.
- Three-car garages in Illinois are great options for customers who are in need of protection for multiple vehicles such as trucks, equipment, and sometimes agricultural equipment. If you are planning to order a triple-wide garage, make sure to order one that is slightly larger than your current needs.

Roof Styles
You want to complete your steel garage with a sturdy roof that can withstand the ever-changing seasons and weather elements in Illinois.

- Regular roof – The regular roof style is the most economical option offered to our customers. It is installed with horizontal-oriented paneling and rounded edges that resemble the style of an older barn. While it provides reliable protection, it is recommended mostly for areas that experience moderate weather conditions.
- A-frame roof – Also known as the boxed-eave style, this roof is similar to the regular roof with its horizontal paneling. While it is a slight upgrade from the regular roof, it is recommended for areas that may have some high winds but do not receive heavy rain or snowfall.
- Vertical roof – This roof style is the most popular, and most reliable, type offered to our customers. It is installed with vertical-oriented paneling, hat channel pieces, and ridge caps which provide additional stability and protection. While this roof is suited for all climates, it is recommended for customers who live in areas that are prone to harsh weather conditions.
