Nowadays, automobiles are used more and more widely. Cars are a category of consumption. Cars have changed from luxury goods in the past to necessities now. As a result, various types of garages and carports began to emerge to adapt to the growing automobile market. Especially in public places such as large shopping malls, office buildings, and scenic spots, we always feel the trouble of parking. Therefore, it is very important to have sufficient parking spaces.
In order for people to have a more comfortable driving experience, or to give their cars a home, garages and carports have emerged. The main function of garages and carports is to protect cars from wind, rain and other bad weather, and also to give people a better driving experience. Usually there are supporting garages in the communities where you live, but in densely populated places in large public places, there is always the embarrassment of nowhere to park. This will affect people’s shopping and travel experience. As a result, many places began to build more supporting garages or carports.
How to choose between steel structure garage and steel structure carport? In fact, each has its own advantages, and you can choose the most suitable one according to your needs.
Advantages of steel structure garage:
- Sturdy and durable, with strong load-bearing capacity and large span, it can build wider space. And it can be built into a multi-story building, which can accommodate more vehicles than traditional garages.
- It has strong plasticity and can be customized according to needs to meet and adapt to different site and space requirements. However, traditional garages have low flexibility in design and construction due to limitations in materials and construction methods.
- Short construction period and stronger earthquake and wind resistance. Compared with carports, steel structure garages can give your car a more comfortable environment.
Advantages of steel structure carport:
- Sturdy and durable, simple and beautiful in shape. In particular, a membrane structure can be built above, which is beautiful in style.
- It occupies a small space and does not occupy the original parking space. The space is fully utilized and more vehicles can be parked.
- Choose good quality membrane materials, which can have a service life of more than ten years. Even if it is replaced later, only the membrane cloth can be replaced.
- Low cost and short construction period.
Compared with carports, steel structure garages are more expensive to build, but they are more comfortable and can truly protect cars from the effects of harsh weather, while carports can only provide sunshade and simple rain protection. Garages can be used for long-term or temporary use of cars, while carports are generally only used for temporary parking. The garage takes up more space, while the carport takes up basically no space in the original parking space.
Both garages and carports have their own advantages. If it is a villa for private use, the garage is more likely to be the choice. In large shopping malls, scenic spots, highway service areas, etc., there are many vehicles gathering and spreading quickly, so carports are more convenient for parking.
