Sheet metal garage vs. prefabricated garage: Which is really cheaper?

Wenn es um den Bau einer Garage geht, entscheiden viele auf Basis des Preises. Die Blechgarage wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie der klare Sieger. Sie ist schnell aufgebaut und besonders günstig in der Anschaffung. Doch lohnt sich diese Entscheidung auch langfristig?

In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, warum eine Fertiggarage von ZAPF oft die bessere und günstigere Wahl ist. Das gilt besonders, wenn man die Kosten über die Jahre betrachtet.

 

Blechgarage – günstiger Einstieg mit teuren Folgen

Die Blechgarage gilt als einfachste Form des Garagenbaus. Die Kosten für eine Standardgröße starten schon ab wenigen Tausend Euro. Doch die vermeintliche Ersparnis kann schnell zum Kostenfaktor werden:

  • Die Anschaffungskosten sind niedrig.
  • Die Montage geht schnell.
  • Auch das Fundament macht wenig Arbeit.

Das klingt zunächst gut, hat aber viele Nachteile:

  • Kein Wärmeschutz → höhere KFZ-Verschleißkosten im Winter
  • Hohe Bildung von Kondenswasser → Risiko von Rost an Fahrzeugen
  • Begrenzte Lebensdauer → häufige Reparaturen oder Austausch nach wenigen Jahren
  • Kein Wiederverkaufswert → kaum positiv für die Immobilienbewertung

Wer hier spart, muss oft später draufzahlen – sei es durch Reparaturen, Austausch oder Wertverluste. Die Blechgarage ist daher nur vordergründig günstiger.

The prefabricated concrete garage – a clear advantage in the long term

 

A ZAPF prefabricated concrete garage costs more than a sheet metal model. But it offers many important advantages. It is sustainable, durable and saves money over the years.

  • Low maintenance: no rust, no regular painting required
  • Durable: decades of use without loss of substance
  • Sturdy construction: Protects the vehicle better and prevents damage
  • Value enhancement: Increases the overall value of the property – important when selling or financing

The robust construction makes the concrete garage a future-proof choice. Maintenance costs? Minimal.

Comparison of operating costs: prefabricated garage cheaper thanks to efficiency

One point that is often underestimated is the running costs. With a sheet metal garage, additional expenses are quickly incurred – for example, for heating appliances in winter or dehumidifiers in the event of high humidity. The thin construction makes them susceptible to damage from wind or storms.

The ZAPF prefabricated garage, on the other hand, is efficiently equipped:

  • Insulated walls keep the temperature stable.
  • Automatic ventilation systems regulate the humidity.
  • High-quality doors and gates last a long time and rarely need to be replaced.

These features make the prefabricated garage not only convenient but also cheaper in the long term.

Prefabricated house and garage – the perfect combination

Cheap sheet metal garage, better prefabricated garage

But if you take a closer look, you soon realize that there are many other costs involved. For example, for heating in winter, dehumidifiers, repairs or replacement after a few years, and the loss of value also play a role.

The maintenance costs are high – it often has to be painted or repaired. 👉When you consider all these points, it quickly becomes clear:👉 The prefabricated garage from ZAPF is the better choice in the long term.👉With a prefabricated garage made of concrete, you are investing in a new home.
