The development of automobiles in the early 20th century changed transportation and created a need for better roads, fuel stations, and places to store vehicles. Garages became an important solution for vehicle storage. Early options included large privately and publicly owned garage structures. Prefabricated portable garages provided a convenient and inexpensive alternative, as they could be constructed quickly. When choosing a prefabricated garage, factors like the intended use, location, available sizes, adjustability, and durability must be considered to get the best option.
