Why Pinnacle Metal Buildings Is the Right Choice

If you're shopping for a metal garage, you've probably noticed that there are plenty of companies willing to sell you one.

The harder part is figuring out whether you're getting the right building.

A garage that looks good on paper can quickly become a problem if the doors are too small for your truck, the walls aren't tall enough for your equipment, there's not enough room to comfortably open vehicle doors, or you realize six months later that you should have added more storage space.

That's why Pinnacle Metal Buildings doesn't believe choosing a garage should start with a price and a generic building size.

It should start with a simple question:

What do you need the building to do for you?

Once we understand that, we can help you determine the size, height, doors, windows, roof style, lean-tos, insulation, and other options that make sense for your property and the way you plan to use the building.

That's the difference between simply buying a metal garage and buying the right metal garage.

Why Choose Pinnacle Metal Buildings for Your Metal Garage?

There are a lot of places where you can get a price on a metal garage.

We believe choosing the right company comes down to something more important: whether that company takes the time to understand what you're building and helps you get the details right before your garage is ordered.

At Pinnacle Metal Buildings, we work with customers who need everything from smaller enclosed garages to large multi-bay buildings for vehicles, equipment, storage, and workshop space.

Our garage options include buildings such as 18' x 20', 24' x 30', 24' x 40', 30' x 45', 24' x 50', 30' x 60', and many other configurations.

But those dimensions are only the starting point.

We can help configure your building with different wall heights, garage-door sizes, walk-in doors, windows, roof styles, insulation, lean-tos, and other options based on what you actually need.

Our goal isn't to sell you whatever garage happens to be easiest to quote. It's to help you get a building that works for what you're trying to accomplish.

A Metal Garage Should Be Designed Around What You're Putting Inside It

This sounds obvious, but it's one of the most important parts of buying a garage.

If you're storing two cars, your needs are very different from someone storing a pickup truck and a boat.

If you own an RV, tractor, trailer, or other large equipment, the height and width of your garage doors become much more important.

And if you're planning to use part of the garage as a workshop, you need to think about the space that remains after the vehicles are parked inside.

That's why we recommend starting with what needs to go into the building.

Think about:

• How many vehicles you need to park
• The size of your largest vehicle or equipment
• How much room you want around your vehicles
• Whether you need storage along the walls
• Whether you want a workbench or workshop area
• Whether you need a walk-in door
• How much natural light you want
• Whether you need insulation
• Whether an attached lean-to would be useful
• What you may need to store a few years from now

A little extra planning before you order can make a big difference in how useful your garage is later.

What Size Metal Garage Do You Need?

There isn't one garage size that's right for everyone.

A smaller enclosed garage may be all you need for a vehicle, mower, tools, and some additional storage.

If you're parking multiple vehicles or want room for a workshop, you'll probably want to move into a larger configuration.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers many different sizes, from compact garages such as an 18' x 20' building to larger 24' x 40', 30' x 45', 24' x 50', and 30' x 60' configurations.

The important thing is not choosing a size simply because it's advertised as a "one-car," "two-car," or "three-car" garage.

Two pickup trucks need different space than two compact cars.

Measure what you're putting inside and think about how you'll move around it.

You'll want enough room to open vehicle doors comfortably, walk around the vehicles, reach anything stored along the walls, and use any work area you're planning to add.

And if you're already wondering whether you should go a little bigger, that's usually a conversation worth having before the building is ordered.

Don't Forget About Garage Height

Width and length get most of the attention when people shop for a metal garage, but height can be just as important.

If you're storing regular passenger vehicles, you may not need especially tall sidewalls.

If you're storing a large pickup, RV, boat, trailer, tractor, or equipment, that's a different story.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers garage configurations with different sidewall heights, including 9', 10', 11', 12', 14', and other configurations depending on the building.

We recommend thinking about the tallest vehicle or equipment you may put inside the garage—not just what you're parking there today.

Planning for that now can save you from wishing you had another foot or two of clearance later.

Choosing the Right Garage Doors

This is another area where getting the details right matters.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers garage configurations with door sizes such as 8' x 8', 9' x 8', 10' x 8', 10' x 10', 12' x 12', and other options depending on the building.

The right size depends on what needs to pass through the opening.

Don't rely on guesswork.

Measure the actual width and height of your vehicle or equipment and remember to account for mirrors, racks, accessories, or anything else that adds to those dimensions.

You want enough clearance to comfortably enter and exit the garage.

A garage door that's slightly larger than you need is rarely something you'll complain about later. A door that's too small is something you'll notice every time you use the building.

Want More Than Just Parking Space?

That's where a custom metal garage becomes especially useful.

Your building doesn't have to be one big empty box with garage doors on the front.

Depending on the configuration, you can add features such as:

• Walk-in doors
• Windows
• Insulation
• Additional garage doors
• Taller sidewalls
• Larger garage-door openings
• Lean-tos
• Multiple vehicle bays
• Workshop space
• Additional storage areas

For example, you may want two enclosed vehicle bays with additional room along one wall for tools and storage.

Another customer may need a large garage door for equipment plus a separate walk-in door for everyday access.

Someone else may want an enclosed garage with an attached lean-to where a trailer, mower, or additional vehicle can stay under cover.

That's why we prefer to talk about how you'll use the building instead of simply asking what size you want.

Can You Add a Lean-To to a Metal Garage?

Yes.

Adding a lean-to can be a great way to get more covered space without fully enclosing the entire area.

You might use it for a trailer, tractor, lawn equipment, an additional vehicle, outdoor work area, or anything else you'd like to keep under cover.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers garage configurations that combine enclosed storage with attached lean-tos, giving you both secure interior space and additional covered space within the same overall building.

If you're already considering a larger garage because you need extra storage, it's worth discussing whether a lean-to could accomplish what you need.

Can a Metal Garage Be Insulated?

Yes.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers insulated garage configurations for customers who want more than basic vehicle storage.

Insulation may make sense if you're planning to spend significant time inside the garage, especially if part of the building will be used as a workshop or hobby space.

The important thing is to think about this before ordering your building.

Tell us how you're planning to use the garage, and we can discuss the available options for that configuration.

Metal Garage or Metal Carport?

Both can be good choices. They simply solve different problems.

If your main goal is keeping vehicles out of the sun, rain, and snow, a metal carport may provide what you need.

If you want a completely enclosed space for vehicles, tools, equipment, storage, or a workshop, a metal garage is usually the better fit.

A garage also gives you controlled access through garage doors and walk-in doors and provides enclosed walls around everything you're storing.

Not sure which one makes more sense?

That's exactly the kind of question worth discussing before you order.

Metal Garages Aren't Just for Cars

We call them garages, but cars are only one of the things our customers need to store.

A metal garage can be configured for:

• Cars and pickup trucks
• Motorcycles
• Boats
• RVs
• Trailers
• Tractors
• Lawn equipment
• Tools
• Recreational vehicles
• Business equipment
• Inventory
• Workshop space
• General storage

Larger buildings can also be configured with multiple bays for several vehicles or pieces of equipment.

The building should be designed around what you're putting inside—not the name attached to it.

Why Buying the Cheapest Metal Garage Can Cost You Later

Price matters. We understand that.

But comparing metal garages based only on the number at the bottom of a quote can be misleading if the buildings aren't actually configured the same way.

Before comparing prices, look at what you're getting.

Are the dimensions the same?

Is the sidewall height the same?

Are the garage doors the same size?

Does one building include windows or walk-in doors that the other doesn't?

Are you comparing the same roof configuration?

Does the price include the same scope?

Will the building actually accommodate what you're buying it for?

Saving money on a garage isn't much of a savings if you eventually discover that it's too small or doesn't work the way you expected.

We would rather help you think through those details before you order.

What Should You Know Before Requesting a Metal Garage Quote?

You don't need to have every detail figured out before contacting Pinnacle Metal Buildings.

That's what we're here to help with.

But if you already know some of the following information, it can make the process easier:

Where will the building be installed?

Location matters when determining the building requirements and available options.

What will you use the garage for?

Tell us what's going inside. Cars, trucks, boats, trailers, equipment, workshop space—whatever it is.

What approximate size do you have in mind?

Even if you're not sure, knowing how much space is available on your property is helpful.

How tall is your largest vehicle or equipment?

This helps determine the wall height and garage-door opening you may need.

How many garage doors do you want?

Think about how vehicles and equipment will enter and leave the building.

Do you need windows or walk-in doors?

Tell us where you'd prefer them if you already have a layout in mind.

Do you want insulation?

Let us know how you plan to use the interior.

Would a lean-to be useful?

If you need additional covered space, we can discuss available configurations.

And if you don't know the answers to all of these questions yet, that's completely fine.

We can help you work through them.

Why Customers Choose Pinnacle Metal Buildings

Buying a metal garage is a significant purchase, and most customers don't buy buildings like these every day.

We work with them every day.

That experience matters because many of the most important decisions happen before the building ever reaches the property.

How wide should it be?

How tall?

What size doors?

Where should the doors go?

Would a lean-to make more sense than making the entire garage larger?

Should you plan for another vehicle later?

Those aren't questions that should be answered by simply clicking the cheapest option on a website.

Pinnacle Metal Buildings helps customers work through those decisions and configure a garage around their actual needs.

We offer metal garage options ranging from smaller residential garages to large multi-bay buildings, with available features including vertical roofs, different sidewall heights, multiple garage-door sizes, windows, walk-in doors, insulation, lean-tos, and other configurations.

Our website also shows actual garage configurations, dimensions, options, and pricing examples so customers can see what's available and start determining what makes sense for their project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Garages

How much does a metal garage cost?

Metal garage prices vary based on the building's width, length, height, roof style, garage doors, windows, walk-in doors, insulation, lean-tos, installation location, and other options. Contact Pinnacle Metal Buildings with your location and what you need the garage for, and we can help determine the appropriate configuration and quote.

What size metal garage should I buy?

Start with what you're putting inside. Measure your vehicles or equipment, then allow room to comfortably move around them, open doors, and add any storage or workspace you need. Also consider what you may need to store in the future.

What size metal garage do I need for two cars?

That depends on the vehicles. Two compact cars and two full-size pickup trucks don't require the same amount of space. Rather than relying only on a "two-car garage" label, choose the dimensions based on your actual vehicles and the amount of storage or working room you want.

Can Pinnacle Metal Buildings customize my garage?

Yes. Available configurations can include different building dimensions, sidewall heights, roof styles, garage-door sizes, walk-in doors, windows, insulation, lean-tos, and other options.

Can I get a metal garage with tall garage doors?

Yes. Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers configurations with different garage-door sizes, including larger openings for trucks, equipment, and other applications requiring additional clearance.

Can I use my metal garage as a workshop?

Yes. If you're planning a garage and workshop combination, make sure you allow enough room for vehicles as well as workbenches, tools, equipment, storage, and comfortable movement around the space.

Can I add windows and a walk-in door?

Yes. Windows and walk-in doors are available with many garage configurations. A walk-in door can be especially useful when you want regular access without opening a garage door.

Can Pinnacle Metal Buildings provide an insulated garage?

Insulated garage configurations are available. Tell us how you plan to use the building so we can discuss the options available for your garage.

Can I add a lean-to to my garage?

Yes. Pinnacle Metal Buildings offers garage configurations with attached lean-tos, which can provide additional covered space without requiring the entire area to be enclosed.
