Vertical Roof Garage Vs Boxed Eave Roof Garage
When it comes to metal garages, you will generally be given two great roof options. They are vertical and horizontal roof styles. Understanding the pros and cons of these roofing styles. Below is a quick comparison between vertical roof vs. horizontal roof to give you an idea:
Design Comparison: An A-frame or horizontal style roof has corrugated panels that run from one gable end to another, while in a vertical roof, the same panels start at the roof's peak and run towards the eaves. A frame roof has ridges parallel to the ground, which gives it a traditional look, while in a vertical roof, the ridges are perpendicular to the ground, giving it a modern and sleek appearance.
Pros Of Horizontal Vs. Vertical Roof: A horizontal roof garage is economical and suitable for moderate weather conditions. A vertical roof, on the other hand, is suitable for all weather conditions, including extreme weather. It is ideal roof style for small sheds, single car garages, or motorbike/ATV sheds. You won't need extra materials to construct an A-frame roof.
There are no seams at the peak, thus less leakage issues with the A-frame roof. A vertical roof can easily shed dust, debris, and rainwater off the roof.
Cons Of A Frame Vs. Vertical Roof: Since the ridges in an A-frame roof metal garage are parallel to the ground, they would require more cleaning. It is also not suitable for harsh climatic regions or larger buildings [not recommended for metal buildings wider than 32 ft.]. A vertical roof, on the other hand, requires precision installation and requires more materials like extra braces, purlins, and ridge caps, which increases its price.
Sizes And Prices Of Our Boxed Eave Horizontal Metal Garages
When choosing the size of a boxed-eave-style metal garage building, it is important to consider the following:
Usually, you can install an outdoor garage up to 1000 sq. ft., but it may vary with local county and building rules. The standard width of an A frame metal garage ranges between 12 ft. & 24 ft., while its length is usually between 21 ft. to 36 ft. You can also choose a larger garage size, which will affect the overall price of your A-frame roof steel garage.
A frame garage's cost is determined in part by its size, material gauge (12-gauge vs. 14-gauge), and roof type. Customizations, including windows, doors, and insulation, may raise the price; the location affects shipping and installation expenses. Note that if you opt for a steel garage with a length over 32 ft., it will need a seam in the roof for stability. You can choose horizontal-style roofing for one car garage, 2 car, and even a 3 car garage. A boxed-eave roof 2-car garage price will start at $1495 and go higher depending on the customization.
