What they’re saying
Understanding the Key Cost Factors
When planning your metal garage, two primary costs will influence your budget:
Garage Purchase and Installation Costs
Foundation Costs
Most metal garages are installed on a concrete slab. If you don’t already have a concrete foundation, don’t worry! We’ll cover everything you need to know about garage foundations later in this guide. For now, refer to the average cost of a concrete slab in the chart below to help determine the size of garage you can afford.

Determine the Right Garage Size for Your Needs
Use the following chart to estimate the appropriate size for your metal garage based on your budget:
| Garage Size | Average Cost (Including Installation) |
|---|---|
| Single-Car | $4,500 – $6,500 |
| Two-Car | $6,500 – $12,000 |
| Custom Sizes | Varies based on specific requirements |
Planning a Custom Garage
For a precise fit, creating a floor plan can be incredibly helpful. Here’s how to get started:
Sketch a Floor Plan
Draw a basic layout of your garage to visualize how your vehicles will fit.
Include space for storage or a workspace based on your needs.
Consider Internal Dimensions
Remember that the internal dimensions will be approximately half a foot smaller than the external dimensions due to the 14-gauge framing, which is 2.5 inches wide on each side.
Step-by-Step Guide to Sizing Your Garage
Step 1: Measure Your Vehicles
1. Tools Needed: Tape measure (best handled with two people).
2. Quick Tip: Stretch out both arms next to your car; the length between your fingertips is roughly your height.
3. Reference: Use the vehicle size chart below to estimate accurately.
Step 2: Calculate Your Garage Width
1. Start with Vehicle Widths
Add at least three feet of space between each vehicle and the garage walls for easy door operation.
Include a minimum of three feet of space between each vehicle.
2. Add Extra Space for Storage
If you need additional storage on one side, include this in your total width.
3. Account for the Frame
Add about half a foot to cover the width of the metal frame.
Step 3: Calculate Your Garage Length
1. Measure the Length of Your Longest Vehicle
Add at least one foot of space at each end.
2. Add Extra Space for Work Areas or Storage
Include any additional space you need for functionality.
