By Patrick Joyce


There are various companies making metal garages in the US but Duramax have been on the job since 1983 and have honed the craft to perfection at this stage. While Duramax make a whole range of building products from metal sheds, vinyl garages to vinyl sheds even vinyl fencing and patios, it is their metal garages that are most popular.

In days of old folks settled for wooden type buildings for this job that usually cost a lot more and take a lot longer install on your property. There are many advantages to purchasing a metal garage over traditional wooden structures. Mainly they are designed for DIY home install, they require little or no maintenance and they look timeless sitting in any backyard.



The modular design of metal garage kits makes it really handy to install and it is always possible to replace a panel if your shed gets damages by a tree in a storm. All parts a numbered and can be purchased individually from any decent Duramax dealer.

Secondly once you have a level concrete base to place it on, the assembly process is fairly straight forward as all parts are numbered and can be easily referenced from the installation manual that comes with your diy garage kit. This starts by first setting out and squaring the perimeter rail that receives all upright wall panels and proceeding with roof installation. The whole process goes in a step by step sequence until the last screw goes in place and that's it, you're done.

Duramax make their metal garages pretty much standard sizes that suits most home owner's needs. The 12x20 is the smallest and they go up to 12x32 which is a substantial size garage. The sidewall height is 84 inches high with a total 101 inches high allows this metal garage to sit well on the side of most average size homes in the US and will certainly enhance you house with their timeless look.

The front roll up door comes at 74 inches high and 98 inches wide allowing easy access for trucks or regular autos. The building also has a small pedestrian side door that proves useful for quick access in and out for tools etc. These doors can be padlocked ensuring a secure storage unit and peace of mind.

Similar to other Duramax buildings their metal garages carry a 20lb/sq. foot snow loading that is substantial in northern states in winter climates. They also stand up well in heavy wind areas and Duramax warrant these metal garages to withstand 115mph winds when the building us properly secured to the base.

So why buy a duramax metal garage, well simple they come at a great price offering excellent value for money, they are pretty much maintenance free with their galvanized metal structure that will last for years unlike a wooden building, they are designed for DIY installation saving you thousands of dollars and you will have a great feeling of achievement when you install your very own garage without having to call in a contractor to do the job. It's a no brainer....!
