are there any benifiets to do the pole barn metod vs a concrete foundation? Does it just come down to money or a more DIY thing

Did I miss something or was there no foundation done at all? it looks like you just concrete post into the ground. if this is what you did then was that up to code for a garage of that size? I am not critizing you at all. Ijust never seen that done before on a garage of that size. Was that done...

very nice. I know I asked a few monthes ago about the tree situation and you said that the closest tree was 8 feet away. it sure looks closer then that in some of the pics. I have a few trees that will be pretty close to the garage once its done and I am worried about cutting roots to them to...

Can anyone give me some pros and cons to building a pre engineered steel building vs building a stick frame garage? I am looking to build a 30x30 garage for 1 car and a small workshop and I am on a tight budget. i will be going 90% of the building myself or with friends. If it matters, I live...

I shouldnt have to sub out the floor since I work with conrete all the time at work. We do that type of stuff all the time. I plan on doing 10 foot walls. Bull, I am from Westport mass. I will have to check on building codes and what is required for building a garage in my neck of the woods...

wrong section

Very nice progress. Question, I notice that there is a lot of big trees very close to the foundation. I am in the same boat as I have a lot of tress in the area I want my garage to be in and I really dont want to loose the trees. Did you go through any trouble with roots while digging for the...

I will be building this myself and with a few friends. I may have a few small things subbed out.. MAYBE. I just dont want to put up a 24x24 and then kick myself in the **** because the 30x30 would have only costed me maybe $1k-2K more. I just want the most for my money. JCByrd24, doing the...

About how much of a diff is it in total cost between building a 24x24 garage or a 30x30 garage? Im just looking to build a basic stick built garage. Nothing special. I just wanna know if the extra 6 feet is going to make a huge cost diff.

I would like to put up a 24x24 or a little bigger garage in my yard but I want to see how much room it will have inside of it when a car is in with exrta stuff. Please post you pics if you have any. I have gone through 12 pages in the gallery section and seena few but maybe there are more pics...

hmm, you know I may just have to go with th forms for my garage then, I have access to all the forms and ties for free from my work and I can install them myself. thanks for the replys

Can you give me some info on how you did the foundation? How deep and wide

Why would you use concrete blocks to build a foundation for a garage rather then just form a foundation and pour it as one continuous wall of concrete. Is one cheaper then the other or does it come down to code?
