If your like many people you have everything in your garage except for you car.
There are several ways to resolve this situation. I'm going to cover 3 different quick options for you which could help solve this problem.
3 different options to be able to put your car in the garage
- You could organize the items your storing in the garage which means you would most likely need to get rid of some things to be able to have enough room to store your car in the garage.
- You could buy a prefab shed for you backyard and put all of the items that are currently in the garage into the new shed so this would provide the extra space you where missing.
- Or you may want to go a different direction and keep the garage you have and use it more of a storage shed and buy a new prefab garage for your car or truck.
So a prefab shed or prefab garage is a quick way to get your car garage kept again.
The sheds and garages at Alan's Factory Outlet are custom built to the size and specs you want with different siding options such as wood T1-11 garages and vinyl siding garages. These garages are built by the Amish in the factory and delivered with a truck and a trailer as shown above. The prefab garages can be constructed with or without a floor depending on what your looking for.
Another garage available that is built on site and only comes without a floor are the metal garages.
Which ever way you decide to go you will want to make sure you have a level foundation for the garage. Many people will go with a concrete slab if they are getting a garage that doesn't have a floor. If you get a garage with a floor you may want to get a level gravel base.
If you have a need for a 2 car garage we have two different versions of 2 car garages. The first are made in wood, vinyl and metal and are a single level 2 car garage. The other is only made in wood and vinyl and are the 2 car 2 story garage which gives you a full 2nd level of storage space for those people who need lots of space fast.
Of course there are more than 3 solutions to any situation but these are 3 options that come to mind instantly.
In light of the Winter season approaching and with Christmas right around the corner it seems like the sheds and garages start to fill up fast as you try to get things out of the weather and protected sometimes the one thing left out in the cold are the cars and trucks.
It may be too late in the year to get your car back in the garage before the end of the year but it is never to early to start planning for those 2013 spring projects now.
It is important that you plan ahead and research exactly what is the best route to go. Please keep in mind if you want to get a prefab shed or prefab garage there is a lead time which varys depending on the type of building you get.
Alan at Alan's Factory Outlet is here to help answer any questions you may have about how one of the prefab garages they have could be just what your looking for.
You can stop by and see Alan at Alan's Factory Outlet 643 West Main St. Luray, VA 22835 or call and talk to Alan at 540-743-1272 or a third way to reach out to Alan is by emailing him via the contact form.

Spring season is here once again and the grass is really starting to take off. Having a clean, dry place to store your riding mower and weed eater from the harsh winter weather will help you protect your investment and give you a piece of machinery that will last longer saving you money in the long run and help to keep your valuable items look new longer. Even thou you don't have to worry about the snow in the spring and summer the rain over time can start to rust away the outside of the mower.
Alan's Factory Outlet Metal Garage
The metal garages are built without a floor and come in many different sizes and styles with several different size garage doors to fit just about anything inside of it.
Two other options of siding if you want a garage door would be the wood garage and vinyl garage which can be built with or without a floor depending on your circumstances. The Amish built garages come with a single entry door and two windows and gable vents for ventilation.
If your looking for something a little smaller a wood storage shed or vinyl storage shed which comes with double doors instead of the garage door could be a good fit.
Alan's Factory Outlet is here to help you with your storage shed and garage needs, please keep in mind that we are now heading into the busy season so plan ahead and beat the spring rush.
I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter in this 2012 Year of our Lord. May God Bless You and Your Family as we take time to reflect upon what matters most and what things we have to be Thankful for. Thank You, Jesus

The floor starts out the same with five p.t. 4x4 runners but then it comes with 4"x4" pressure treated floor joists and as the floor you get a 2" thick by 6" tongue and groove plank floor, talk about strong.

The carport price is going to be more economical when compared to the fully enclosed metal garage but the carport will only give you roof top coverage where the metal garage price is more due to the fact that that not only is the roof covered but both sides and both ends are covered with a garage door on one end. If you don't need full protection from the sun and weather or theft than the carport would be the way to go but if you need total protection from the elements than investing a little more today can help save you money in the long run from the metal garage that will help protect your valuable items.
One other option that some of our clients have done is go with a metal carport now to save money and down the road you can close the sides and ends and add a garage door later when the funds become available. Two things to keep in mind if you want to go this route is you will need to make sure the leg height on the carport is tall enough for the garage door to fit later. The regular style carports can be the same height as the garage door height while the 2 other styles boxed eave and vertical carport leg height will need to be one foot taller than the garage door height. One other thing to remember is there is a $50 trip charge for all add ons under $595. If the amount is over $595 it is free delivery and installation. The carports and metal garage price includes free delivery and installation to 27 states in the USA.
Now to the metal garage price and the metal carport price. For comparison purposes we will go with the smallest size carport and metal garage we have. The metal carport price and metal garage price is the current price and subject to change without notice and prices may vary in certain locations due to construction specs required in some locations.
12x21 metal carport price for regular style carport with 5' legs: $595
12x21 metal garage price for regular style metal garage with 8' legs fully enclosed with 1-9x8 garage door: $2470
The metal carports and metal garages are built in many larger sizes of wider and longer metal buildings.

How Much Does a Metal Garage Cost?
The metal garage cost all depends on the size, style and what kind of options such as windows, and doors will also be a factor in the final cost of the metal garage. The two most popular metal garages are a 1 car metal garage and a 2 car metal garage and within those two criteria there are different widths and lengths to choose from depending on your needs.
The smallest size metal garage is a 12x21 size with the base dimension being exactly 12' wide by 20' long as there is a 6" overhang on the front and back ends. The metal garage cost will then vary depending on the three styles. The regular has a barn roof and is the most economical of the 3, followed by the boxed eave which has a gable a-frame roof and the vertical holds the honers of being both the strongest and the most costly metal garage of the three roof lines. Vertical garages are built in a gable roof just like the gable but with the roof panels running up and down so snow will slide off.
