Overview
Get a 24×40 steel building to use as a garage, storage building, shop, or shed.
This 24×40 Vertical Roof Metal Garage comes with premium vertical-style roof panels. These panels allow rain, snow, leaves, and other debris to easy slide off your roof, which helps keep your roof clean and rust-free.
Common Uses
24×40 Storage Building
Get almost 960 square feet of storage space to store equipment, tools, or inventory for your business.
24×40 Shop
Make your dream workshop a reality. Our metal garages make a great place for fixing cars, woodworking, and other businesses and hobbies, especially if you add windows and insulation.
2-Car Garage or 4-Car Garage
This 24-foot-wide garage is big enough to comfortably park two cars side by side without worrying about denting your vehicles when you open the doors. You will also have extra space in the back of the garage that you can use as a work area or for storage.
If you want to make this into a 4-car garage, you can either park your cars double-deep, or you can put 4, 8×8 garage doors on the side to make a 4-bay garage.
How We Save You Money
Some manufacturers send a whole truck just to deliver a single garage building kit. That is a great way to deliver your building fast–but it adds a lot to your total price. Some competitors also add extra charges, like a $300 unloading fee if you don’t have a forklift!
Our buildings are delivered and installed on cost-effective local delivery routes. This allows us to pass on big savings to you and offer free delivery and installation.
Lead Times
Our lead times vary depending on the size of your order and the area you live in. To get a current estimate of lead times in your area, see our estimated delivery times.
Getting a Permit
After you order your building, you will need to call your local planning department to find out what documents are required to get a building permit.
If you need to submit plans with your application for a building permit, let us know. Generic engineered building plans can be emailed to you within a few days after you place your order. For more information about building plans and getting a permit, see chapter four of our Garage Buyer’s Guide.
If for any reason you aren’t able to get a permit we will promptly refund your deposit.
Foundation and Site Prep
After you order your building and get a permit, you will need to hire a local contractor to prepare the foundation for your building.
Size: In most areas we recommend that the concrete pad for your metal building is one foot wider and one foot longer than your building. You can use our concrete pad size calculator to confirm the correct pad size for your building.
Specifications: Many of our customers have their building installed on a 4” slab with footers, but you should check with your local building department to confirm local requirements.
Site Requirements: Our installers need at least three feet of space on every side of your building to place their ladders while installing your building.
Recommended Contractors: For tips on how to find a reliable concrete contractor in your area, see chapter six of our Garage Buyer’s Guide.
Free Delivery and Installation
When your site is ready for your building you will contact us so your order can be scheduled. As soon as there are enough orders to schedule a delivery route in your area, you will be contacted about a week in advance to notify you of your expected delivery date.
Most metal buildings take 1-2 days to install. You will need to pay the balance of your order when your installation is complete.
Garage Doors, Windows, and Frame-Outs
All of our garage doors are roll-up doors. We do not sell garage door openers, but you can have an automatic garage door opener installed after your garage is built.
If you prefer to install your own garage doors, walk-in doors, or windows, we can help you design custom frame-outs to meet your specific requirements.
Custom Options
Insulation
We are able to insulate the roof or the whole building. Use the building configuration tool to select your insulation options.
Colors
We have 16 different metal building colors available. Lighter colors are more energy efficient and will help keep your building cooler.
Custom Placement
If you aren’t able to place doors and windows where you want them with our 3D design tool, you can let us know where you want them placed after you submit your order.
Lean-To
If you need to add a lean-to to your building, see our lean-to page for more information.
Electrical
If you need electricity in your building, you can add wiring after your building is installed. You may want to run a tube with wires through the bottom of your building before your foundation is poured. The frame of the building is about 2 ½ inches thick, so any wiring coming in through the floor should be placed further inside the building.
Frame and Panel Upgrades
Consider upgrading to 12-gauge steel framing to get a 20-year rust-through warranty. The 26-gauge metal sheeting upgrade will also help ensure your metal building or garage lasts for a very long time. A well-maintained metal building can last more than 50 years, so these upgrades are a good investment if you need to maximize your building’s lifespan.

More Information
This 24×40 garage is one of our most popular models because it features so much space at an affordable price point. You can comfortably park up to 4 cars in this garage, but most of our customers use the extra space in the back for storage and a work area, or use the whole building for storage.
Some people frame out a small office, or build a loft for two levels of storage. If you want to add a loft to your building, be sure to make sure the building is tall enough. The steel framing of this building is not designed to support a second story, but you can build your own loft supports with 2×4 wood studs.
The 24×40 vertical-style metal garage comes standard with 9′ legs fully enclosed.
Select the garage door size that works best for you and the price with the garage door will automatically be updated in the price with options. Other options such as walk-in doors, windows, and taller side height can be added to your 24×40 steel building for an additional cost.
An Alan’s Factory Outlet 24 x 40 vertical-roof metal garage is 24′ wide by 40′ long and has 960 square feet of fully enclosed storage space.
The metal garages come certified for winds up to 140 mph and 35 psf. To achieve this rating, the metal building will have a tighter screw pattern and be anchored to support the wind rating. Generic blueprint drawings can be emailed to you upon your request within approximately 3 to 4 business days after ordering in order to secure a permit.
The metal garage for sale comes with 14-gauge tubing, which is 2 1/2″ by 2 1/2″ square tubing, or you can upgrade to the 12-gauge tubing, which is 2 1/4″ by 2 1/4″ tubing. The framing on the optional thicker 12-gauge tubing comes with a 20-year rust-through warranty.
The steel buildings are custom-built in size and style and with the options you want. You get to choose between 16 different colors for the roof, trim, sides, and ends. Keep in mind that the colors on the metal buildings are approximate.
The 24 by 40 vertical-style metal garage is the strongest style of metal garage we offer thanks to the cross-bracing we use to attach the metal sheeting to the roof. What makes the vertical roof on the 24×40 garage unique is that the garage metal roofing goes up and down to help the snow and rain slide off of it.
You can buy your metal garage online, or you can call now to order from Alan’s Factory Outlet’s toll-free line at 1-800-488-6903.
