Questions about DIY steel garages
Still unsure? Price your building and a building specialist will walk you through it.
Can I put up a 20x24 steel garage myself?
Yes. David assembled his 20x24 garage himself, and when a few issues came up, he called Toro's engineering team and they answered his questions. Toro doesn't install buildings: every kit is engineered for bolt-together assembly by the customer or a local contractor.
What is an M-Model steel building?
The M-Model is Toro's cold-formed straight-wall steel building, manufactured by Toro. David's 20x24 M-Model has straight walls and a peaked roof.
How much space does a 20x24 steel garage give you?
A 20x24 steel garage gives you 480 square feet. David's is 9 feet high. Toro designs every building to the width, length and height you need, so your building specialist can adjust the size to fit your vehicles, storage and site.
Can I add a roll-up door like the one on David's garage?
Yes. Toro engineers the framed openings for the doors you want, at the sizes and positions you choose. Most customers buy the doors themselves from a local supplier.
Does Toro supply the foundation?
No. Toro provides the structural reactions for every building, so your foundation can be built to spec by a local contractor. Anchor bolts are included with cold-formed buildings like the M-Model.
How much does a 20x24 steel garage cost?
Toro steel building kits start at $19 USD per sq ft in the U.S. and $26 CAD per sq ft in Canada. Your site's loads and codes, along with size, framing system, openings and options, have a big impact on the final price, so reach out for pricing on your specific building.
