Question 1

I've seen "garage kits" mentioned, but I'm unsure what they are. Are they just like a shed or something different? What are the main benefits of choosing a kit over building a garage from scratch?

Accepted Answer

A garage kit is a prefabricated package containing all the necessary materials to build a complete garage structure. Think of it as a DIY-friendly approach to adding covered parking and storage to your property. Unlike a shed, garage kits are designed for vehicle storage, typically with larger doors, higher ceilings, and more robust construction.

Question 2

Is garage kit customization possible? What customizable garage features and choices are available?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You can explore diverse garage door options, including styles and dimensions, integrate garage windows for natural light and airflow, and enhance the exterior with upgraded garage siding materials. Furthermore, you can select from various roof styles, boost energy efficiency with garage insulation, and implement DIY garage upgrades to the interior with finishes like drywall and paint. Finally, garage storage solutions can be incorporated to optimize space. Consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure your garage kit customization meets warranty requirements and structural integrity.

Question 3

What time and skill commitment does assembling a garage kit require? Is it a task achievable for someone with my general DIY experience over a weekend?

Accepted Answer

Assembling a garage kit requires planning and patience rather than advanced skills. However, building one is still a significant undertaking. Before starting, prepare the foundation, inventory all parts, and familiarize yourself with the manual's steps. A standard garage can take several days to build, even with helpers and the correct tools, and a weekend is usually not enough time to complete the assembly.

Question 4

What are some of the best-selling garages?

Accepted Answer

One of our best-selling garages is the Everest 12 ft. x 30 ft. Charcoal Garage.

Question 5

I'm interested in getting a garage kit but unsure about the foundation requirements. What are my options, and which is best for a typical residential lot? Do I need to pour a full concrete slab?

Accepted Answer

A solid foundation is crucial for a garage kit's long-term stability. Common options include a concrete slab, which is the most recommended for a permanent garage due to its sturdiness and water-prevention capabilities. Gravel foundations can work for smaller or temporary structures, while concrete piers are best suited for unstable soil. An existing concrete pad may be used if it is level, in good condition, and the proper size, but kit instructions should be consulted first.
