modular concrete garages?


I was recently given the opportunity to review a prefab garage dealer online, and found their products to be quite interesting. They are based out of the UK. Here in the states, most prefab garages are built tough-shed style or out of tornado-magnet aluminum. I'm not sure that I have ever seen one of these Lidget concrete panel garages before. I have, however, seen similar buildings used for telephone and right-of-way communications buildings. And from my experience working for a Telco, I know that they take quite a beating.

I really like the idea of a modular style garage building that you design based on how many prefab concrete panels you need to match your desired dimensions. Unlike "space-age" aluminum sheds that look much the same as they did in the 1950s (very out of place), the rough rock textured finishes of these concrete panels helps them to blend in. In the Southwest, these types of buildings blend in perfectly with their natural surroundings and until you get used to their appearance, it is quite easy to miss them. I used to travel to many of them to do quality audits and site surveys and you really need to keep your eyes peeled or you drive right past them on the highway.

The construction process seems pretty straight forward. They deliver the materials to the site and construct it for you. I would imagine that it goes very quickly, too. If you're in the market for a new garage but don't want to build it yourself, and you're looking for a cost effective and long-lasting alternative, check out these concrete prefab units. They may be just what you are looking for.
