The problem of parking in big cities has not lost its relevance for many years. Therefore, the shell garage is gaining more and more popularity along with capital metal or brick garages. This is inherently a temporary shelter for a car, but if you consider that it can be installed both on a personal plot and in the courtyard of a multi-storey building. The fact is that this design, according to the current legislation, or rather a gap on this topic, is classified as an ordinary car awning.
Therefore, a specially allotted piece of land is not required for it, nor any approvals and registration.
In addition, this compact building can be completely DIY.
Varieties
There are the following types of shell garage at the location:
- Collapsible;
- attached;
- built-in.
A built-in garage can be arranged only during the construction of a house and have a separate entrance to it. Attached can be done already to the constructed building or next to it. The collapsible design can be arranged anywhere.
According to the standard design, the garage-shell is a multi-layered semicircular sink made of two large metal-profile sheets with no corners, which significantly saves space. The stronger the metal, the more reliable your building will be.
Now the most common material for such a structure is considered to be galvanized corrugated board, which is thinner than the previous analogue, but has increased rigidity.
And thanks to the wavy structure, the building becomes more reliable in strong gusts of wind and snow.
Note: The shell can be made not necessarily of metal, if you just need protection from sunlight and precipitation , it is quite possible to make a folding frame according to the drawings, which is covered with polyester fabric or tarpaulin. But this is most likely a summer cottage option, not a city one.
Size will depend on the size of your vehicle. So, for example, for a class B car of the sedan type, the garage will have the following dimensions: length 6 m, width 3 m.
Such a building is quite enough to drive a car into it.
There can be various variations of the gate opening - in the form of conventional leaves or roller shutter upward. Moreover, the latter solution is the most convenient and widespread. They can be lowered manually or automatically.
