Recommendations for a Garage Build

Post by landshark »

Looking for some recommendations on building a replacement or build onto my existing garage.

How much space do you have and what do you want to do with it?


I'm working out of ~700 sqft. It's tight with the Fairlane and the Bronco + tools, but I make it work.


My FIL built a ~40'x40'. He filled it, but mostly with vehicles and tractors.


My plan at the moment is a 1500sqft to 2000sqft building, but it has to be 50' deep so I can park a truck and trailer length-wise.
Cummins R2.8 diesel, ZF5, AtlasII, HP44/BB9, ARBs, coiled / linked suspension, 37" KO2s, full cage, bumpers, etc.

I'll trade you my 380sqft garage. It's tough with a Harley, bronco, and mustang in there.


Chris, contact Trei. He built crawlercreations garage.

Space is a premium - i live in denver on a 4700 sq ft lot and currently have a 100 year old one car garage - looking to build a 2.5 car or close to it onto or replace the existing structure.

Think tall walls. The back 4 garage car's walls are right at 8 foot. Wedged a sheet of finished oak plywood floor to ceiling and the hood of the bronco hit the rafters. When I had the shop built I went with 10 foot walls. But Denvers building codes might have a height limit.
There is always the heated floor, AC, big screen tv wet bar...
