Modular and portable garages provide practical solutions for homeowners needing additional storage or a comfortable workspace. While both options are excellent, one might be a better fit for your specific needs. Here’s a comparison of their differences and similarities.
Portable Garages
Protect your car, truck, boat, or any vehicle with a quickly installed garage. There is no need to work around complicated foundations, wait for builder delays, or tiptoe around a construction mess. Get your investments out of the weather and into a quality prefab shed with a garage door and reinforced floor.
Cape Garage
With clean, crisp lines and a low-maintenance exterior, Cape garages combine classic design and practical functionality. With plenty of customization options, you can tailor your Cape garage to suit your needs while enhancing your property’s style.
Chalet Garage
A Chalet garage stands out with its high-peaked roof, broad overhangs, and elegant design, offering extra storage height and a distinctive look beyond the ordinary shed. It includes a second floor with stairs and a roll-up garage door.
Dutch Barn Garage
Dutch Barn garages combine classic barn-style charm with practical storage and durability. Featuring a gambrel roof, it offers ample headroom and the perfect space for adding loft storage. Designed to be maintenance-free!

Do HOAs allow portable garages?
Whether a Homeowners Association (HOA) permits portable garages depends on its specific regulations and local building codes. Many HOAs have guidelines regarding sheds and garages, including restrictions on size, placement, and materials. (Before investing in any new garage, check with your HOAs regulations.)
Do I need a foundation to install a portable garage?
No, a portable garage does not require a permanent foundation. These structures are designed to be set on various surfaces, such as gravel, asphalt, or concrete.
Modular Garages
Modular garages are similar to portable garages in that they are durable, customizable, and cost-effective. However, they vary in multiple ways. Modular garages are built in sections and assembled on-site, instead of being built at a different location and delivered in one piece. Their strength and design is more similar to traditional garages.
