Prefabricated Steel Personal Shop & Garage in Plain City, Utah

A homeowner in Plain City, Utah, needed a safe, secure place to store and protect vehicles, tools and outdoor equipment from the elements and ordered this pre-engineered Sunward Steel shop and garage building in December 2024.

Engineered for northern Utah’s cold, snowy winters, the metal building offers 1,365 square feet of space the owner can use for work, hobbies, workouts or vehicle storage, among other uses, making it a welcome and versatile addition to the property. Constructed without interior supports to maximize storage space, the garage can easily comfortably accommodate two or more large cars or trucks while leaving plenty of room for snow shovels, lawnmowers and other tools, toys and outdoor gear.

Designed to complement the owner’s nearby home, the metal garage has Ash Gray walls and Charcoal gray trim and wainscoting, with matching Charcoal Gray snow gutters helping prevent leaks and protect the outside walls. The steel garage and shop also has 6” of overhang trim along two sides, enhancing durability and aesthetics.

Attractive and economical, this steel garage keeps cars and trucks warm and ready for use during all four Utah seasons. Modern and practical, metal garages like this one can also increase a home’s value, particularly in places like Utah that are prone to heavy seasonal precipitation or extreme hot or cold temperatures.
