This structure represents a sizable, typically prefabricated, enclosure designed to shelter two standard-sized automobiles. Constructed primarily of steel or aluminum, it often includes an attached, single-sloped roof extension. This adjunct provides additional covered space, suitable for storage or workspace. An example would be a 24′ x 36′ steel building with an additional 12′ x 36′ roof extending from one side.
Such structures offer significant advantages due to their durability, relatively rapid construction time, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional stick-built garages. The additional covered area enhances versatility, allowing for protection of equipment from the elements or creation of a sheltered area for projects. Metal buildings have a history of use in agricultural and industrial settings and have become increasingly popular for residential use due to improvements in aesthetics and customization options.
