Imagine this. You’ve spent what feels like an age making sure the inside and outside of your car are picture-perfect. You’ve polished to perfection, and you can’t stop admiring your pride and joy!
Then it happens.
The weather takes a turn for the worse, and every single vehicle that passes by is a splash of muddy rainwater you really could’ve done without. Or perhaps an over-eager bird decides to use your car as target practice!
Either way, your hard work is ruined when let’s be honest, installing a concrete garage would have prevented this from happening!
A concrete garage is a great option if you’re looking for a durable solution. But how do you install it, and is there anything you should be considering?

Lay The Foundations
If you do not currently have a garage erected, you will probably require a concrete base laying before the garage can be installed. Having a solid concrete base is imperative to ensuring the structure of your new concrete garage remains solid for many years.
Equally, if you have an existing concrete garage and the base is starting to crack or crumble, it may make sense to remove the base and replace it completely.
Consider Additional Features
Now, when we say ‘additional features’ we don’t mean the latest tech or having a TV in your garage (although if that’s your thing then we fully support you!).
We simply mean considering features such as windows to let in natural light, or how you’ll be securing your garage when it’s not in use. By considering these factors before you begin the installation process, everything should go a lot more smoothly!
Location Is Key
One of the main things to consider when installing a concrete garage is location.
If you’re installing on uneven ground without proper foundations, you’ll be building something potentially unstable that isn’t durable or built to last – aka a waste of your time, money, and energy!
Ensure you’ve properly planned the location of your new garage so you can be confident it’ll stand the test of time.
The Conclusion
As well as being substantially sturdier than some of its alternatives, according to Expondo, other advantages of concrete garages include security, more design options, and good thermal insulation.
Ultimately, although installing a concrete garage takes some patience and planning, the reward certainly makes it worth having.
