Benefits of One Car Garages Made by US Patriot Steel
If you want a secure, weather-resistant place to park your car without taking up too much yard space, a one car garage offers the perfect balance of size, function, and cost. Whether you drive a compact sedan, SUV, or pickup, a steel one car garage from US Patriot Steel delivers unmatched durability and peace of mind − while fitting seamlessly on your property.
Why Choose a One Car Garage?
1. Year-Round Vehicle Protection
Shield your car from sun, rain, snow, and hail to maintain its appearance and resale value.
2. Enhanced Security
Lockable doors deter theft and vandalism, keeping your vehicle and stored items safe.
3. Space-Efficient Design
Perfect for properties with limited lot space while still offering room for tools or bikes.
4. Long-Term Value
A steel garage requires minimal upkeep, resisting rot, pests, and fire damage.
Ideal Dimensions
While exact dimensions vary based on vehicle size and storage needs, common layouts include:
- 12×20 ft: Fits most sedans and small SUVs.
- 14×24 ft: Provides extra room for shelves, workbench, or equipment.
Tip: Allow for at least 3 ft of clearance on each side for comfortable access.
Customization Options
A one car garage from US Patriot Steel can be designed to match your home or property style:
- Windows & Ventilation: Natural light and airflow options.
- Colors: Multiple wall, trim, and roof colors for a cohesive look.
- Roof Styles: Vertical, gable, or single-slope.

Beyond Parking: Additional Uses
Even a compact one car garage can serve multiple purposes:
- Secure storage for lawn equipment or motorcycles
- Seasonal gear storage
- Small workshop for DIY projects
Cost vs. Value: Why a One Car Garage Pays for Itself
A one car garage isn’t just an expense − it’s an investment.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Protecting your car from weather can prevent costly paint, upholstery, and mechanical damage.
- Higher Resale Value: Homes with secure, covered parking often sell faster and for more money.
- Lower Insurance Premiums: Some insurers offer discounts for garaged vehicles, saving you money each year.
Over time, the savings in repairs, insurance, and vehicle depreciation can exceed the cost of the garage itself.

- Engineer-certified plans for easy permitting
- Pre-engineered kits for fast assembly
- Turnkey installation services
Maintenance Tips
- Keep drainage areas clear around the foundation.
- Inspect door mechanisms annually and lubricate moving parts.
