Advantage of a Metal Garage

15 November 2010

Garages can form an important part of the home nowadays. Obviously garages are widely used to store a car, with most families having at least one car, but garages are also widely used simply for storage of household items that you don’t have space for in your home.

The most important qualities required from a garage are security, durability and protection. Metal garages provide all of these qualities, along with a multitude of other attributes.

If you are storing a vehicle or other household valuables in your metal shed, then you clearly want a high level of security in order to protect them. Walton's utility metal sheds are constructed from Ultra Tough Bluescope Steel, chosen due to its strength and rigidity, and are designed with lockable, steel doors.

Walton's utility metal garages are coated in titanium colourbond finishes for durability, as this coating protects the metal garage from rust and adverse weather. As a mark of this, we offer a 10 year anti-rust penetration guarantee with our metal garages. Furthermore, our metal garages are equipped with a steel roof rather than felting, meaning that no roofing maintenance is required.

As our metal garages are fire retardant and, when anchored correctly, provides protection against rodents and insects. This helps protect your stored belongings or vehicle and protect them from damage. This is especially valuable when storing a vehicle in your metal garage, as vehicles that have been kept in a garage tend to stay in better condition, therefore holding their value and requiring less maintenance.

Constructing a Walton's metal garage is straightforward, as they are designed with the Snap>tite assembly system, and our metal garages can be purchased with a metal garage anchor kit, which is perfect for anchoring your metal garage to a concrete base. For an overview of laying a concrete base for your metal shed, see our Building a Base Guide.

Walton’s metal garages are available in a choice of two colours. The Utility Garage Titanium Metal Shed offers a classic, silver titanium finish, whilst the Utility Pale Eucalyptus Metal Shed (shown right) blends in more effectively in a traditional garden setting.
