This is due to the design features and with a number of advantages that it has.

Most car owners have long replaced traditional shell garages with canisters. Their design is nothing complicated.

The box is made in the form of a frame of galvanized profile and pipe. Assembly is performed by welding and bolts, all seams are covered with a special tool that protects against the formation of corrosion.After which the surface is painted with pentaphthalic enamels.

Due to the fact that the design parameters are small and compact, it is this model that most car owners choose. Now there is no need to install powerful structures with the foundation.

Small weight allows you to install a garage without a foundation, so it is considered a temporary building.

The only drawback of this design is poor resistance to cracking, so the owner must take care of additional protection of the structure.

The price of the assembly and installation of the building is 10% of the value of the object.But most people who have ever encountered construction work, prefer to assemble this structure on their own.

Initially, you need to prepare the site for installation, remove the sod and carefully level the site horizon using tamping and leveling. As a rule, initially the site is sprinkled with gravel and tamped with a beater made of wood. Then a layer of sand is poured, after which you can begin to assemble and install the garage.

• First of all, the base and side walls are assembled. Before assembly, they are calculated according to the scheme and steel sections of the required sizes and shapes are harvested. According to the installation scheme, every detail is marked and signed according to its position in the frame.
• The lower contour is assembled, the installation pegs are hammered into the soil, then the lower contour rectangle is laid out, connected with bolts and the points are fixed with welding equipment. If all the diagonals are clearly aligned, then they are finally welded. Then transverse bottom segments are welded.

• Vertical posts are attached to the bottom, they need to be leveled with a tape measure, a plumb and a level.
• Horizontal pipes are mounted on bolts.They also need to fix the welding machine.
• The top contour from pipes and a profile is welded. On the vertical racks are mounted side segments and fastened after alignment by welding and bolts. The same work should be done with jumpers front and rear walls of the garage-case.
