Anyone know of or have a hook up for pre-fab garages?

trying to figure out if it’s feasible to get one or just some sort of enclosed car port.

I know there are always a buttload in the Tri-ad but i dont have one handy at the moment.

any one have a pre-fab? pros or cons?

i’m looking for a 1.5 car steel garage to put over a concrete base or something of the sort… not those collapsible tent ones.

any reason for not building one from wood/steel 2x4 frame and then skinning it with plywood and siding ?

I built a mini-garage (for tractors) two years ago, ended up costing $600 with the concrete slab

you could even skip the slab and just anchor posts in the ground with the hammer-in 4x4 stakes, just have a simple 4x4 pressure treated frame and 1/2" pt plywood to connect it all… maybe bang up some of those 2" foam boards all around inside

seriously if you aren’t _against_ wood and you know your budget I can help
