It often happens that when buying a car, a person does not care much about the future place of its storage. As a result, when he is faced with the question of what kind of garage is best, there is almost no money. Hence, the choice too. Therefore, you have to either buy what you have enough money for or rent. Well, or even put up with storing the car under the windows or in a paid parking lot.
Usually this happens to beginners, whose mind is completely absorbed in euphoria, but sometimes even experienced drivers forget about this "insignificant" detail because of the fuss. So it is desirable, anticipating this problem, to study it in advance. After all, it's not as easy as it seems. First, you should find out what types of garages exist now, as well as analyze their pros and cons.
Capital
Definitely, this is the most expensive type (over 100,000 rubles) and, accordingly, reliable, since in fact such garages are made of fairly durable materials and, as a rule, with a foundation. Most often they are located in a protected area, have an impressive, by the standards of garages, area (more18 m2). Many of them are equipped with electrical wiring, which indicates the presence of a couple of sockets and lighting, and some even have some kind of heating. True, and the cost grows significantly because of this.
This type of garage is divided into aboveground and underground.
- The first option is usually a little cheaper, but also more dependent on weather conditions (snow before entering, puddles, etc.), and there are not always conscientious watchmen in the place where it is located.
- In the second case, there may be a lot of humidity, which contributes to the appearance of corrosion. Such a garage can be located far from home, of course, if it was not bought with the apartment. May have difficult access to the gate itself. Well, one of the most important advantages, along with reliability, is the presence of a pit for access to the bottom, but not all garages of this type have it.
Metal box
This is perhaps the most common type of garages in the former CIS. Although it is much worse than the previous one, but due to the lower price and only slightly inferior area, they were bought much more often. However, now the situation is slightly, but changing. This happens in connection with the introduced laws that allow demolishing such buildings for the sake of ennoblement of the city, unless, of course, there are violations.
I don't want to go into legal aspects, so we should immediately get to the point. It is better not to buy metal boxes now. And if there is no other possibility, first of all you need to find out if onlythe construction of the garage itself or a full-fledged parking place. And if the site is included in the transaction, it is necessary to carefully check all documents through open databases. It is also worth noting that the biggest problem of such garages is unreliability. With a strong gust of wind or a fallen tree, one can only hope for the conscience of the material manufacturer.
Also, of course, they do not have a hole. Exceptions are cases when a conscientious owner personally created some of its analogue, but this rarely happens. Otherwise, they have the same disadvantages as above-ground capital structures.
The main and, perhaps, the only pluses include the possibility of moving the garage to another place. This can be very helpful when moving. The presence of modularity in some models will allow you to expand the box when buying a larger vehicle (we are not talking about height).
In general, due to the high demand, there are many options for these designs: with a sloping or flat roof, with gates that open up or to the sides, with or without a visor, but all these differences are not significant.
Shell Garage
This is the cheapest and naturally less practical type. Due to their extremely low cost (about 20,000 rubles for a quality option), they are still popular. In fact, this is the same metal box with all its disadvantages, just with a specific way of opening the gate, if this word can be applied to this type at all.
The fact is that his body is usually divided intotwo parts, one of which, the front, rises, giving the car the opportunity to drive under it. Therefore, for the correct operation of such a mechanism, the second half of the structure is lower and rounded. Consequently, there are additional restrictions on the car.
However, it is worth noting that this view has its plus - due to the absence of walls (they are raised), it becomes a little easier to park the vehicle.
It should also be said about the compactness of this type of garage. Most often, its dimensions are only slightly larger than the size of an average car, which allows you to place a shell garage even on a small plot of land. However, this obviously affects roominess, which many do not like. They independently lengthen the front part by cutting the case and welding the desired metal insert. This looks terrible and is popularly called a "collective farm".
Pridomovoi
This type of garage is more common in developed countries and usually cannot exist separately from the house. At its core, this is a kind of capital, since they are almost always built from the same materials. But sometimes there are even wooden options. They can be both a continuation of the house and a separate structure, have different gates, including blinds, have a pit or not. All this depends only on the desire of the owner, because they are created to order or independently.
Result
If there are no special budget restrictions and no plans to move, the best choice amongof all kinds will become a major garage. And if there is a site and opportunities, then - house adjoining. But if there is not much money, you should pay attention to the metal box. And only in extreme cases, if necessary, you can buy a shell.
