PVA glue is used to fix the parts. They are coated with gaps for gluing pre-connected parts. If the garage is made for several cars, it is advisable to arrange several dividing partitions that will serve as walls. They are attached to the base of the structure. After that, you need to fix the side parts.

In the event that the garage is multi-storey, they begin assembling the second floor and the lift. At the final stage, the roof and lower bridge should be installed, carefully coating the parts with glue and holding until they are fixed.
