Prefabricated Garages: More Than Just a Place for Your Stuff

There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of reality television shows about hoarders who need to be taught how to clean out their nigh-impassable homes, or storage units that have been left for so long that they must be emptied out and sold at auction. Yes, America is full of people who have a lot of stuff they aren’t willing to throw away, but which they don’t immediately need in their homes. You’re probably no different!

Sure, you aren’t a hoarder; you don’t have towers of old magazines and newspapers forming load-bearing walls in your home, nor do you have storage units spread across the state, unpaid-for and soon to be emptied out and picked over by a weird dude who always wears a bandana and shades, even at night. Still, you’ve got a lot of stuff; it’s in our nature to hold on to things we think we could use, or which has sentimental value. What are you to do with it, other than keep it around the house?

Are You a Hoarder?

Stuff, Stuff Everywhere, and Not a Place to Store It 

The answer is, put it in your garage. A garage is a fantastic place for storage; your things are kept dry and, for the most part, in the dark. Garages generally have an open floor plan and relatively high and open ceilings, meaning you can easily put quite a bit of your things against the walls or among the rafters. Just don’t put so much stuff in your garage that you end up with no space to park your car; it’s kind of important to protect your car from harsh weather if you expect to have it long!

If you don’t have a garage, never fear. There’s no need to build a garage from the ground-up; that’s a massive, and potentially expensive, project for what amounts to storage space for your extra stuff and your car. Instead, invest in a more affordable and just-as-effective alternative solution: a prefabricated garage.

The Garage for You 

Prefabricated garages can be custom-designed to fit your needs, whatever they may be. Perhaps you need a particular color and/or material for the roof and walls in order for your garage to match your home, or perhaps you need a special layout if your garage is to fit onto the space you’ve laid out for it. Regardless of your particular needs, the manufacturer of a prefabricated garage – such as Stoltzfus Structures – can accommodate your garage needs with ease.

A prefabricated garage can be manufactured and delivered in a relatively brief amount of time, from order to delivery. Furthermore, upon delivery, the garage will be assembled by professionals, rather than forcing you to figure out how to put your garage together yourself. You can rest assured that your prefab garage has been put together by someone with an intimate knowledge of how to construct them.

Tips for Keeping  Your Garage Organized

Protection and Convenience 

A prefabricated garage can be customized to have special areas for storage – you might consider adding extra space for future storage purposes, though you can always have another garage added on if you absolutely need to. Storage aside, however, a garage also serves the important purpose of protecting your car from the elements and from potential vandalism or thievery.

First and foremost, winters can be hard on a car. Sleet, snow, and ice can do serious damage to the paint job, not to mention the time you lose in the morning when you have to scrape the ice and snow off your windshields in order to see while driving. The protection a prefab garage offers your car doesn’t end there, however; prefab garages are great for temperature control. Your car will be warmer on winter mornings and colder on summer afternoons after it has spent time in your garage, as opposed to out in the chilly winter wind or under the summer sun.

You don’t need a sprawling garage for it to do everything you need: protect your car and store your stuff. Whether you need a one, two, or even three-car garage, you can have it made however you please thanks to the manufacturing expertise brought to the prefabrication of your garage. Why not give Stoltzfus Structures a call and ask to take a tour of some of their prefabs? You’ll like what you see.
