The weight of a metal garage - what needs to be taken into account when calculating
The weight of an iron garage depends on many parameters that must be taken into account when calculating the weight of the structure.
An iron garage is an inexpensive and fairly reliable shelter for a car. It will solve many pressing problems: it will hide the car from bad weather or the hot sun, accidental damage and prying eyes; you can carry out simple car repairs, diagnostics or other preventative work in it.
Usually, few people think about the weight of a building, but sometimes a situation arises when a car owner needs to know the weight of a metal garage, so in this article we will talk about the types of metal garages and provide calculations for buildings made of different facing materials.
Types of metal garages
All-welded metal garage.
Garages that have a frame made of steel structures (see Frame garage: how to build it yourself) are considered metal, although they can be sheathed with various materials.
They are divided into two types:
- All-welded structures are assembled from sheet steel and all elements are connected by welding. Such a garage cannot be disassembled and can only be transported in assembled form. An all-welded garage can be installed anywhere, it is particularly reliable against penetration and has strong connections.
- Prefabricated garages have bolted or anchored connections of parts; the structure can be disassembled and transported in a compact form. It is recommended to install this type on the territory of a personal plot or in a country house, not far from the house, so that there is supervision, since it has poor protection against burglary.

Important! In turn, prefabricated structures can have different cladding, and this also determines how much an iron garage weighs.
The following materials are used for lining the walls of the structure:
All these materials have different weights, so when determining the weight of the garage as a whole, this must be taken into account.
How to calculate the weight of a garage
Garage made of painted corrugated sheet metal.
Data on the weight of the transported structure may be needed in the following cases:
- When purchasing a garage and delivering it to a permanent location. If the building was purchased from a manufacturer, then the seller provides data on the weight of the order, but when the garage is purchased second-hand, then in this case the weight is often calculated by the buyer.
- When transporting a garage to a new location (owner moving, sale, garage for demolition, etc.). If the structure was built with your own hands, the owner may not know its true weight.
For a sample, we will calculate the weight of a metal garage 3 x 6 x 2 m2 (width x length x height) of an all-welded type, in which the lining is sheet steel 4 mm thick. This is the minimum standard size into which almost any passenger car will fit, well, except for minibuses.
Why do you need to know the mass of a metal garage?
Information about the weight of a metal garage is required by owners in the following cases:
- There was a need to move the building to a new location.
To lift and transport it, you need to know the initial weight in order to correctly order loading equipment, the rental price of which varies greatly depending on the power. The situation is complicated by the fact that most of the buildings, dismantled or welded, are made by the owners themselves, and no preliminary calculation of their mass was made. In this case, you need to calculate the weight yourself.
- Construction is just planned; or buy a ready-made design.

In the video you can see a prefabricated garage, which is easy to transport and quick to install:
To speed up the assembly of the shell pencil case garage, you can pre-order the production of individual sections. Pre-prepared holes for fasteners will also speed up the assembly process. All parts must be cleaned and polished. The frame must be coated with a special anti-corrosion agent. This will allow you to avoid serious problems during the operation of the structure in the future. Then everything can be painted. It is advisable to carry out preventive maintenance and treatment of metal structural elements once a year.

How to calculate weight yourself
Calculation of the final mass of a metal garage, the dimensions of which are 3x6 meters, is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- Calculate the area of the side walls. The area of one wall is 2*6=12 m2. We multiply the resulting value by 2 and get the total area of both walls - 24 m 2.
- Calculate the roof area. We take into account that the roof is gable, and its dimensions slightly exceed the dimensions of the building due to the canopies. The area of one slope is: 2 meters * 1.9 meters * 6.2 meters = 23.56 m 2. The area of two slopes is 47.12 m2.
- The area of the front wall, including the gate, and the rear wall is 12 m2.
- The gables that form the roof of the building have an area of 4 m2.
- Some garages have metal floors. In this case, its area is 18 m2.
- Now we know all the data, all that remains is to add them together: 4 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 47 = 105 m2.
Now it is necessary to determine the thickness of the metal with which the frame was lined. Most structures are made from sheets of metal, the thickness of which is 4 millimeters. One square meter of such cladding weighs 31.4 kilograms. Now we can calculate the total weight of the material used to cover the frame: 31.5 x 105 = 3,292 kilograms.
The frame of the structure, together with the gate, weighs about 1 ton. We add up the resulting numbers and get a final value of 4.3 tons. The values may vary up or down, depending on the thickness of the gate leaves and the material from which the frame was made.
How much does a 3x6 metal garage weigh? The answer is in the article!
On average, the weight of a 3x6 metal garage varies between 3-4.5 tons. You may only need information about how much a garage weighs in 2 cases:
- You haven't yet decided which metal garage you're going to buy.
In this case, the weight of the metal garage will affect the cost of delivery and the load that the concrete base will receive. If you purchase a garage box from a specific manufacturer, then all the necessary information can be found in the delivery note.
- You have decided to move your old metal garage to a new “place of residence”.
In this case, it is quite difficult to know the exact weight of a 3x6 metal garage, since many people cook it themselves. In this case, various material options are used - from various configurations of corners to metal thickness varying around the entire perimeter.
If you are faced with the 2nd situation, then using our method you will quickly calculate the approximate weight and be able to choose the right manipulator.
Approximate calculation of how much a 6 by 3 meter metal garage weighs
Weight of a metal garage 3x6
Initial data: length 6 meters, width 3 meters and height 2 meters. The basis of the design is an all-welded type of garage, in which a layer of sheet steel with a thickness of about 4 mm (the most common option) acts as a cladding. These are the minimum standard garage sizes for any modification of a passenger car.
Important: How much an iron garage weighs will mainly depend on the thickness of the sheet covering and the total surface area. The basis of the structure for passenger cars weighs at least 2 tons. The roof covering itself will be 1-1.5 tones. The remaining weight is provided by racks and shelves that are installed inside.
Briefly, for the calculation, do the following: Calculate the volume of the garage box by multiplying the length, thickness and height along the axial dimensions. Then, knowing the volume values of the roof and wall, you multiply the resulting figures by the specific gravity of the sheet metal. As a result, we get a weight that will differ by 5-10 kg from the real one.
A direct example of calculating the weight of a metal garage
We count all the elements one by one:
- Area of side walls: 2*6*2 pieces = 24 sq.m.
- Area of a 2-pitched roof, taking into account the small overhang of the canopies: 2 * 1.9 * 6.2 * 2 sides = 47 sq.m.
- We calculate the area of the rear and end walls together with the gates: 3*2*2 pieces = 12 sq.m.
- The approximate area of 2 triangular pediments is 4-4.5 sq.m.
- If there is a metal floor, we also calculate its area: 3*6 = 18 sq.m.
- We add up all the obtained values: 24+47+12+4+18 = 105 sq.m.
Since in the initial data we have the thickness of the walls of an iron garage within 4 mm, then according to GOST we find the specific gravity of 1 sq.m. canvases. It is equal to 31.4 kg. All that remains is to multiply the resulting mass by 1 sq.m. steel sheet for the total area. We get 105 sq.m * 31.4kg = 3297kg. As a result of calculations, we found out how much a 3mx6m iron garage weighs without taking into account the weight of the gate frame and the structure itself - only the weight of the sheathing. The frame together with the gate will weigh another 800 kg - 1 ton. As a result, the total weight will be 4-4.3 tons.
Calculator for calculations
The weight of a metal garage of any size can be easily calculated using a special calculator. To do this, the user is required to enter the dimensions necessary for the calculation, and the program itself will calculate the final figures and display the result. Some calculators allow you to calculate not only the weight of a metal garage, but also show its approximate cost.
