Peaked Roof Concrete Garages Available As One Or Two Car Garage

By Thomas Stone


Of all the different building materials used to provide protection for automobiles, concrete garages are the strongest. Contractors normally warranty their work for seven to ten years. Buildings created with concrete are usually guaranteed for up to ten years. There are also many different sizes and shapes in which this material can be cast.

Many garages are freestanding structures. Most people would rather have such structures constructed in an apex roof design to better facilitate water drainage and minimize erosion. Not many know that this option is still viable when building a carport for two vehicles. Material strength ensures that no problems will arise from using this design.

The space between the two doors that allow automobile access can easily be reinforced so that it can bear the extra weight of the wider roof. The roof supports will also be modified to be stronger and to cast the weight only on the reinforced load bearing sections of wall. The same principles apply when building a home with an apex.

A garage built for a single car is generally easier because there is less run in the roof supports. However, one should not be afraid to order what is desired when purchasing a precast concrete structure. There are many different methods that might be used to ensure the integrity of the structure, including changes to the mixture of rock aggregate and cement used.

Erecting precast structures is much faster than building on site in most cases. The walls are poured and cured at the supplier's location and transported intact to the location where they will be used. Technicians then stand them in place, attach them, and put the roof on over the structure.

The outside walls of concrete garages can be left plain or given any of several different textures. They may also be covered with stone, brick, or stucco. Roofs can be constructed from many different materials in different colors to fit in with area architecture.
