Hail, storms, thunderstorms… In recent years, severe storms have repeatedly occurred in Germany, especially in the summer months. ZAPF prefabricated concrete garages offer secure protection to reliably protect your car from damage even in extreme weather conditions.
Studies worldwide show that climate change has noticeably increased the frequency of extreme weather events since the 1990s, making prolonged climate extremes more likely. We have already experienced the consequences of extreme weather events in Germany in recent years. Heavy rain, flooding, thunderstorms, hail and storms have led to massive damage. According to insurance experts, German insurers recorded the highest claims volume in their entire history in 2021 – a total of around 12.7 billion euros. Last year, 47 million euros were attributable to property insurers for damage to houses, household contents, commercial and industrial businesses and nine million euros to motor insurers. Research by the Climate Service Center Germany has also shown that the number of above-average hot days and the frequency of local extreme storms and floods have visibly increased in Germany in recent years.
So even in Germany, people are now well advised to protect their vehicles from damage caused by extreme weather conditions. But what is the best way to do this?

In severe storms, the safest place to keep your vehicle is in a garage. However, not all garages are the same. Prefabricated concrete garages are particularly resistant due to their high-quality materials and robust workmanship, because the reinforced concrete used can withstand extremely high tensile and compressive forces. This is not the case with every garage material to the same extent! Garage experts therefore declare prefabricated concrete garages in particular to be virtually “indestructible”, because even storm-whirled branches, large hailstones or broken bricks cannot penetrate the outer walls of the garage.
Our smart solution
With our garage configurator, you can design your garage according to your wishes in just a few clicks – from the size to the fittings.
Of course, the surroundings of the garage should not be forgotten either. Are there any shaky trees near the garage that could fall on the garage in a storm? Is there a particularly steep slope near the garage that could potentially cause mudflows? How is the rainwater drained away around the garage? Is it possible that backwater could occur? It’s a good thing that all ZAPF garages have a cleverly thought-out drainage system – in extreme cases, this at least provides a good basis on the drainage side…
With our garage configurator, you can easily and intuitively put together the size, fittings, doors, windows, and extras in just a few steps. We will then arrange a non-binding consultation with you, based on which you will receive an individual offer, naturally at a fair price and without any obligation to buy. Experience your configured garage in an impressive 3D visualization during the non-binding consultation appointment.
