Large garage or storage building

Featuring two stories of clearspan space the Jefferson makes for an excellent choice to use as a single-car garage, large storage building, or perhaps a workshop. This garage is designed to accommodate either a 9ft. or 8ft. wide garage door. The garage door is not included which allows the homeowner to purchase the style and color of their choice. If you’re considering a workshop or storage building other door types can be installed instead of a garage door. The choice is yours.

Windows is not included. This allows you to choose the best type and style suitable for your needs. Shutters can be painted the color of your choice. Paint is not included. Add a 9-Lite 32in. door, not included, to provide an additional entry to the interior. This man door can be installed on any of the three walls as desired. Stairs are ‘L’ shaped and can be placed in either of the back wall corners opposite the garage door.

If desired additional windows can be installed during construction. The location is determined by the homeowner. Additional framing material may need to be purchased for headers and rough-ins.

Wall construction is 2x4s spaced 16in. o.c. and include pressure-treated bottom plates. Trusses are 2×6 spaced 24in. o.c. The building can be constructed on a foundation that meets your requirements. This can be a cement slab, over the basement, wood floor, post, and beam, etc. Homeowner purchases material to build floor and foundation separately. Check with your local building code requirements to determine what is permissible.
