Metal garages have become increasingly popular home additions. They’re more durable than wood, add valuable space, and give homeowners more flexibility to stay under budget. Here are four creative ways these versatile structures can be used to make them even more ideal for your home.

How to Implement Metal Garage Space

1. Guest House

Plumbers and electricians can easily run utility lines to your metal building to create a fully functional guest house. These are perfect for visiting in-laws and can be outfitted with a bathroom, kitchenette, and sleeping areas depending on how big the structure is.

If you want to get really creative and give the family an extra income stream, invest in design, decor, and amenities to create a getaway for third parties. You can then host guests through a company like Airbnb®.

2. Entertainment Space

Whether you want to call it a man-cave, she-shed, or entertainment area, a metal garage provides all the elements you need. Open the door to let cool fall breezes roll in while you watch football games. Create a getaway to relax after a long day or an indoor/outdoor cooking area to share with friends. Insulate the walls and cover the windows to create a private home theatre.

3. Fitness Center

If you find it hard to hit the gym, turn your metal garage into a fitness center. Lay down padded flooring and fill it with your favorite cardio and strength-training equipment. You can also use the space as a home yoga studio for your clients or physical therapy if you work independently.

4. Workshop

If you’re a hobbyist or artist, turn your metal garage into a workspace. The durable steel is easy to clean, and you’ll be able to keep your handiwork in a private space where it won’t be tampered with. For woodworkers and craftsmen, it’s also a safe place to keep your sharp tools.
