What exactly is a 12×20 portable garage?

A 12×20 portable garage is a one-car garage with a heavy-duty floor. The structure includes a garage door, an entrance, and usually two windows. This single garage can be transported from any location while adding a permanent feel to your home. Its size can functionally house a normal-sized car and a few tools.

You may not be ready to jump on the bandwagon just yet and park inside one of these garages. Understandably, you want to know more, so let’s answer some questions and equip you with some facts to know why a 12×20 portable garage would be a perfect fit for your car (and even some of your tools).

Why Not a Plastic Portable Garage or Carport?

If you google search portable garages, you will find the quickest and cheapest portable garage solution. While this structure affords a space for your vehicle and is cheaper overall, this fabric, portable garages are limited in what they can offer your home in investment and appearance. They lack the ability to create permanency and can only offer limited protection from burglary or from extreme weather elements.

So, what about a carport?  Carports can give a more aesthetic touch to your outdoor environment but are incapable of offering full protection from the weathering forces of nature. Carports do not have four walls, which allows for great ventilation, but fails to shield your snazzy Porsche from the heavy winds and rain. Carports have even less to offer in keeping unwanted trespassers away from your prized vehicle.

In contrast to fabric portable garages and carports, a 12×20 portable shed garage offers you four walls, security, and a beautiful structure in which to house your car. This one-car garage is portable, which means if you ever move, you can take it along with you. It’s hard to believe, right? This garage gives the appearance of always being around. It leaves a sense of permanency that makes your home feel like home.

How much can I store in a 12×20 portable garage?

This is a fair question; you want to know what other possibilities for storage this 12×20 one-car garage offers.  While this single garage was specifically designed to house your vehicle comfortably, there are still some space options left to get more organized with your favorite tools. It is about time your hammers, nails, and screwdrivers had a spot to call home. How rewarding to have a consistent place to return your tools after heroically changing the lightbulb for your wife or after finishing setting up the bunk bed for your children. Maybe you enjoy gardening and need a spot for some of your gardening tools where they can be kept from rusting or from being lost among your beautiful flower beds.  Whether you are a handyman or a gardener, there is space for the tools that matter the most to you.

Whether you enjoy simple, classic beauty or you desire a fancy, vintage-style garage, you have options. Customization should be one of the most enjoyable steps in the process of buying your own 12×20 garage. You can customize your garage by choosing whether you want a workshop, maxi barn, or saltbox style.  Choose your preference between wood or vinyl siding. Customize your windows to add more light or a beautiful touch. And finally, choose your colors, either to match your house’s exterior or to add a new splash of color to your outdoor landscape.
