FAQ
Are metal garages a good choice for Georgia?
Metal buildings are utilized throughout Georgia for garages, equipment storage and other residential, agricultural and commercial uses. The important thing is choosing a building appropriate for the project and location. If you're building in Hagan, make sure the garage specifications and site plan also meet the local requirements that apply to the property.
How close can my metal garage be to the property line?

Berkeley County SC's own accessory-structure setback table needs direct primary-source lookup before publishing any number., although you should confirm the requirement for your particular property with Berkeley County Building and Codes Enforcement. A setback controls how close the building can be to certain property boundaries. Check that distance before you settle on a location, especially when space on the lot is tight.
How far is Benton Metal Depot from Hagan?
Benton Metal Depot's Statesboro location is approximately 178.7 miles from Hagan. The company serves residents throughout Berkeley, including communities such as Huger, Woodland, Moreland and Old Joe. Current delivery time for a metal garage to the Hagan area is about 1 to 2 weeks.
How long does it take to get a metal garage delivered to Hagan?
Current delivery time to Hagan is approximately 1 to 2 weeks. If your project also involves permitting, grading or concrete, don't wait to do those jobs until the garage is almost ready. Use the delivery window to get the property prepared, and base your schedule on the estimate given for your order.
Should I pour the concrete before ordering the garage?
Get the garage specifications nailed down first. You want to know the correct dimensions and make sure the planned location meets the rules for Hagan before putting permanent concrete in the ground. It's much easier to adjust a garage plan on paper than to deal with a slab that was poured in the wrong place or at the wrong size.
What do I need to do to my property before the garage arrives?
First, decide exactly where the garage will go and check the permit and setback requirements with Berkeley County Building and Codes Enforcement. Then follow the site requirements for the garage you've selected. Any grading, concrete or other preparation should be based on the final building specifications. Don't prepare the site using rough dimensions if the building hasn't been finalized.
Do I need a permit for a metal garage in Hagan?
That depends on the garage and the requirements of Berkeley County Building and Codes Enforcement. The current rule requires a permit once the garage exceeds 200 square feet. Check before doing any permanent site work. There may be other requirements tied to your property as well, so getting an answer early can save you from having to change plans later.
Can I use a metal garage just for storage?
Yes. Cars don't have to be part of the equation at all. A metal garage can give you enclosed space for tools, lawn equipment, recreational gear and other belongings. If storage is the main purpose, think about shelving and aisle space while planning the building so everything remains accessible once the garage starts filling up.
