There are many good reasons why metal garage buildings are so popular and a lot of it has to do with their rugged construction and portability. With prefabricated metal garage buildings, a lot of the work that goes into building them is done at the factory, before they are shipped to you. The entire building is then sent to its final destination for full assembly. With modular types of metal garage buildings, only its components are made at the factory. The separate pieces are then sent to the assembly site where they will be erected.
It actually takes a bit of know how in order to assemble metal buildings. These skills are beyond the capabilities of most people, so it is often necessary to hire a specialized contractor for metal garage buildings. With some of the metal garage buildings in kit form however, a set of blueprints and some rudimentary construction knowledge are the only things required for assembly. For such structures, even a general contractor will be able to manage the task easily.
Because fabricated metal buildings have to be transported over roads, they are generally limited to interior ceiling heights of 8 or less. Metal buildings that are meant for onsite assembly can of course have significantly higher interiors. If you want to enclose a relatively large and open space...as with metal garage buildings...you will want to go for a kit that you assemble onsite.
You do have to make sure that metal garage buildings can fit your car in at the very least. If you want a lot more space, the larger structure would require interior columns at regular intervals to support the ceiling. These types of metal garage buildings are often branded as "modular" steel buildings, although the "modular" in this case simply refers to the components between each column. In most other ways however, they are nearly identical in construction to steel buildings.
You may either opt to have finished interiors in your metal garage buildings or you can leave it as it is. Depending on the manufacturer, you may either be able to have your building fitted with interiors or you will have to buy them from a 3rd party seller. After market interior finishing may make things a bit harder, but they do allow for a much broader range of options.
Metal garage buildings have greatly improved in appearance over the past several years. If you have shied away from the many benefits offered by metal garage buildings because of the somewhat unattractive appearance, you can now buy them in a much wider range of more attractive designs.
