Re: Finally Starting To Plan A Garage(need some wisdom)

My own preference would be 2 seperate doors That way you can have a bit more space between the vehicles. It's a pain dealing with some of the restriction when you build. I would double check all your ordinaces before you begin, including power, water and sewage if you plabn on having any of those in the building. One option you might have (if permitted) is to build it taller, then you can build like a second floor inside to store stuff and get it off the ain floor. My shop was a metal building that I purchased, but I had them to all the foundation and setup. I did all the land cleaning and a friend helped with the foundation (dirt) work. A friend and I did all the electrical. Sounds like you got a good idea.

Oh yeah another idea to give you some more work area, is put a covered carport type area in front of the doors. It's like having some extra bays when it comes to routine maintence and what not. Good luck on your project.
