Got Questions? We've Got Answers

What size garage do I need for one car?
A common one car metal garage size is 12x20 or 12x25, which can fit one standard vehicle. If you drive a larger truck or want extra room for tools, storage, or a workbench, a wider or longer garage may be better.
How much does a one car metal garage cost?
One car metal garage prices depend on size, roof style, height, doors, windows, location, steel gauge, certification, and custom options. Competitor examples show 12x20 or 12x25 one-car garages starting around $40,00–$7,400+, but final pricing varies by state and design. Garage Buildings provides custom quotes with free delivery and installation included
Can I customize a 1-car metal garage?
Yes. Available customization can include the building's width, length, height, roof style, garage door, walk-in door, windows, colors, insulation, anchors, and certification options. Available features depend on the specific configuration and location, so confirm your preferred options when requesting a quote.
Is a one car garage better than a carport?
A one car garage gives more protection than a carport because it is fully enclosed. It helps protect your vehicle, tools, and valuables from weather, theft, animals, and debris, while a carport mainly provides roof coverage.
Can a one car garage be used for storage?
Yes. A one car garage can be used for vehicle storage, lawn equipment, tools, motorcycles, ATVs, bicycles, seasonal items, hobby space, or a small workshop.
Do one car garages include delivery and installation?
Yes. Garage Buildings offers free delivery and professional installation on eligible one car metal garages, helping make the buying process easier and more affordable.
Do I need a permit for a one car garage?
Permit requirements vary by state, county, city, property type, and building specifications. Your local building department can confirm whether a permit, engineered plans, or other documentation is required for your property. Local wind, snow, and other code requirements may also affect the building you choose.
Why buy a one car garage from Garage Buildings?
Garage Buildings offers custom one car metal garages at competitive prices with free delivery, professional installation, multiple design options, certified choices, and expert support to help you choose the right garage for your property.
What size 1-car metal garage do I need?
The right size depends on your vehicle's dimensions and how much additional space you need for storage, tools, motorcycles, lawn equipment, or a workbench. Popular 1-car garage sizes such as 12×20 and 12×25 can provide enclosed space for a vehicle, but measure your vehicle and consider door clearance and walking space before choosing a size.
Can a 1-car metal garage fit an SUV or truck?
A 1-car metal garage can accommodate many cars, SUVs, and smaller trucks, but the building dimensions and door opening need to match the vehicle. Check your vehicle's width, length, height, and mirror clearance before selecting a garage. If you have a larger truck, compare wider or taller configurations for more comfortable access.
Can I use a 1-car metal garage for storage or a workshop?
Yes. A 1-car garage can provide more than vehicle storage. Depending on the size and layout, you can use additional space for tools, lawn equipment, motorcycles, seasonal items, shelving, hobbies, or a small workshop. Consider your storage and workspace needs when choosing the building dimensions.
What roof styles are available for 1-car metal garages?
Applicable 1-car garage configurations can be available with different roof styles, including vertical, A-frame, and regular roofs. Your choice can depend on appearance, budget, building configuration, and local weather or engineering requirements.
Does a 1-car metal garage need a concrete slab?
A suitable, level installation surface is important for a metal garage, and concrete slabs are commonly used for enclosed garages. Foundation requirements can vary by building and location, so confirm the required foundation or installation surface before preparing your site.
Can a 1-car metal garage be engineered for local requirements?
Available certification and engineering options can help a building meet applicable local requirements. Wind and snow specifications vary by location, so the requirements for your property should be confirmed before ordering. Building size, roof design, anchoring, and other structural factors may affect the available configuration.
Does Garage Buildings include delivery and installation?
Free delivery and professional installation are available nationwide, subject to the terms and coverage applicable to the specific building and location. Your site or installation surface should be prepared according to the requirements for your selected building before delivery.
How long does it take to install a 1-car metal garage?
Installation time depends on the building's size, configuration, site conditions, weather, and installation requirements. Smaller 1-car buildings can generally have a straightforward installation process, but the exact schedule should be confirmed for your specific building and location.
Can I add insulation to a 1-car metal garage?
Yes, insulation may be available as an option on applicable buildings. If you plan to use the garage as a workshop, hobby space, or area where you spend significant time, consider insulation along with ventilation and other features that can affect interior comfort.
Can a 1-car metal garage store a motorcycle and other equipment?
Yes. In addition to a vehicle, the available space can be used for motorcycles, lawn equipment, tools, shelving, seasonal items, and other belongings. If you plan to store several items alongside your vehicle, consider a longer or wider configuration to maintain usable access space.
Are 1-car metal garages available with financing or rent-to-own?
Financing and Rent-to-Own options may be available depending on the building, location, purchase amount, and participating provider. Garage Buildings offers financing options and no-credit-check Rent-to-Own through participating providers, with terms and approval requirements varying by program.

"The RV garage is tall enough for our Class A motorhome with room to spare. The 14-foot clearance is perfect. Installation was smooth and the crew was courteous. Being local to their headquarters, they were extra responsive."

"Second building I have ordered from Garage Buildings. The first was a carport and this time a full enclosed garage. Both times the experience was great and the buildings are top quality. Would not go anywhere else."

Mark ThompsonFlorida · Metal Garage · Feb 2026

"The rent-to-own option made it possible for us to get the garage we needed without a large upfront cost. No credit check, affordable monthly payments, and we'll own it outright in 4 years. Our 20x21 garage is solid and well-built."
