The advent of automobiles and other motorized vehicles changed transportation in the early 20th century. These “horseless carriages” became the most important means of transportation over the years. The car’s wide acceptance by the American public posed unique problems, such as better roads, service, fuel stations, and places to store the vehicle.
Space became an important issue in the development of garages. One of the earliest solutions for urban car storage was large-scale public and privately owned garages. Garages also changed the architectural design. Portable garages paved their way through the market in 1908. They were small, partially prefabricated structures consisting of wood or metal panels. These structures could be easily built in a day and were relatively inexpensive.
Garage shelving is basically made in two basic ways: built on site and prefabricated. Prefab shelving is sturdy and portable. It is more adjustable and faster to assemble than any other type of garage. Regarding this type of garages, it is stated that steel is the best option for construction. They can also be built in plastic, but these garages are fragile and cannot hold heavy objects.
When shopping for prefab garage materials, you should first consider the purpose of building the structure and where it will be built. Steel shelving is only available in standard widths, depths and heights, and you would have to choose between these options. Adjustability is another factor to consider for prefab garages. There are many types of prefab garages available and look for sheds designed for heavy loads. Due attention should also be paid to the sustainability of the structure in all seasons.
