Adding Extra Garage For Car Lovers
I have a three car Attached Garage. Our dream was buying a large steel building to store classic cars I love to buy. I have room to build but seems like a lot of work. Building permits, concrete, electrical work, HVAC for climate control, etc. I will get this done. Garage space is what deterring me from buying some reasonably priced classic and sports cars. Here a great video clip from VINWIKI

Using a steel building as a showroom garage for a car collection is an excellent choice. Steel buildings offer durability, customization, and large, unobstructed spaces that are perfect for displaying and storing vehicles. Here’s what you need to consider:
- Size: Determine how many cars you want to display and their sizes. Allow extra space for walking around, seating areas, and potential expansion. A 50’x100′ or larger building is common for substantial collections.
- Clear-Span Design: Steel buildings can offer wide, column-free interiors (up to 300 feet in some cases), providing unobstructed views and easy car maneuvering.
- High Ceilings: Opt for high ceilings (16-20 feet or more) to accommodate car lifts, allow for stacked storage, and create an open, airy feel.
- Lighting:
- LED high-bay lights for overall illumination
- Spotlights or track lighting to highlight specific cars
- Large windows or skylights for natural light
- Flooring:
- Epoxy-coated concrete for durability and easy cleaning
- Interlocking tiles for a high-end look
- Consider in-floor heating to prevent condensation
- Doors:
- Large roll-up doors (12’x14′ or bigger) for easy car entry
- Glass doors for a showroom feel
- Climate Control: Install HVAC systems to protect cars from temperature fluctuations and humidity.
- Security:
- Robust locking systems
- Alarm and camera systems
- Reinforced entry points
- Customization:
- Add a lounge area, office, or kitchenette
- Install a mezzanine for additional display or storage
- Custom paint and branding
- Insulation & Ventilation: Proper insulation keeps the space comfortable, while good ventilation manages fumes.
- Power & Tech: Plan for multiple outlets, charging stations for electric cars, and smart home tech for lighting and security.
Companies like Morton Buildings, SteelMaster, and Armstrong Steel specialize in custom steel buildings suitable for high-end car showrooms. Always check local building codes and consider working with an architect to design a space that showcases your collection beautifully.
