Prefabricated Steel Frame Garage (Base) | Residential carports, small commercial parking | Steel frame (EN 14041 certified), 1.6mm steel thickness (ISO 3801), fire resistance (ISO 13785-1, 30min rating) | ▲ Durable, low maintenance, customizable (paint options via ASTM D3359 adhesion test) | Higher upfront cost than wood, requires foundation (EN 1997-1 compliance) |
Prefabricated Steel Frame Garage (Advanced) | Industrial storage, high-traffic commercial areas | Steel frame (EN 14041 + ASTM A36), 2.5mm steel thickness (ISO 3801) ▲ (25% thicker than Base), fire resistance (ISO 13785-1, 60min rating ▲) | ▲ Enhanced load capacity (1200kg/m² vs Base’s 800kg/m²), corrosion resistance (ASTM B117 salt spray test, 1000hrs) | Higher cost, professional installation required (EN 1993-1-8 compliance) |
Prefabricated Concrete Garage | Earthquake-prone regions, long-term structures | Reinforced concrete (ASTM C39), 200mm thickness (ACI 318), compressive strength 30MPa (ASTM C39) | Extremely durable (50+ year lifespan), fireproof (0 flame spread rating, ASTM E84) | Heavy (requires robust foundation per EN 1992-1-1), slow installation (7–10 days) |
Wooden Garage | Temporary structures, budget projects | Pressure-treated wood (ASTM D740), 15mm thickness (ISO 3801), treated with ACQ preservative (ASTM D3307) | Cost-effective (30–40% cheaper than steel), easy to modify (no welding) | Prone to rot (needs annual treatment), lower fire resistance (ASTM E84 Class B only) |
Prefabricated Aluminum Garage | Coastal areas, lightweight needs | Aluminum alloy (EN AW-6063), 2mm thickness (ISO 3801), corrosion resistance (ASTM B117, 2000hrs salt spray) | Lightweight (20% lighter than steel), sleek design, UV-resistant (ASTM G154) | Lower load capacity (600kg/m²), higher cost than steel (20–30% premium) |
Prefabricated PVC Garage | Temporary storage, low-budget solutions | PVC panels (ASTM D1729), 6mm thickness (ISO 3801), UV resistance (ASTM D4306, 500hrs) | Affordable (50% cheaper than steel), easy DIY installation | Prone to UV degradation (needs shade), poor thermal stability (brittles below -10°C) |
