Many odd thoughts on garage buildings
A building made of wood would be vulnerable to several types of pests and not to forget fire all of which is hard to contain once spread. Metal buildings also fare better during an earthquake or hurricane as the resistance is much higher due to the compressive strength. Metal building are also more durable and capable of supporting the immense weight of skyscrapers compared to buildings made of wood which can only support a couple of floors. Metal buildings usually project the picture of a huge construction like shopping malls, multiplexes or huge stadiums seen in the recently concluded Beijing Olympics. This is now history as more and more people are using metal buildings structure for their homes, offices, colleges, industrial units etc.
