When I say one door I mean one garage roll up door, maybe even a double sliding door. I plan on having a double 6ft door on the side that faces my house. I'm limited on space is why the shop will be no bigger than a 20x40. 20x40 is actually a lot bigger than what I have now. We want the...

I have plans for a 16x32 2x4 framed structure but have been looking at a pole barn instead. Is there a company that offers a set of plans for a pole barn 16x32 or a 20x40? I just want a single garage door on one end. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using Tapatalk

Got out in the yard and put some stakes out to see how big the new shop is going to be. Same width as the old shed but longer. https://flic.kr/p/YbzHVb https://flic.kr/p/YbzHTh Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

If the etching wears off that is covered under warranty or at least that is how my Matco guy does it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

My preferred weapon of choice (toolbox) is a 4s 3 bay matco with a side locker and hutch, sublime green. I believe that a Matco box is the best one to buy. Remember you get what you pay for. That being said, if you're not using the box everyday, don't spend that kind of money though, my box was...

So I called my town hall yesterday to find out how much a permit would be to build a shop and if there were any restrictions on how big I could build it. Well I got a call today from town hall. There are no longer any permits for building in our town/village and there is no restriction on size...

I was thinking about 2x8 or 2x10, I want something that is going to last. I am planning on building this myself so right now I'm in the research portion of the build, along with saving the money to do it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

I was thinking that the 2x6s weren't enough for the upper floor, but that's what the plans call for. I may look into getting different plans. I got these from cheapsheds.com Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

The plans I have do call for 8ft 2x4 stud walls and 2x6 upper decking, 3/4 ply floor on the second floor. Oh and it's not a gable roof it's a barn style roof. It also gives plans for a wood floor, but gives details for a slab as well. I thought about a wood floor for a few days, just for...

Hi my name is Casey, I live close to Shreveport, LA. I am a diesel mechanic and a do it yourself type person. I have worked construction in the past and I am a mechanic for a construction company right now. I'm currently planning to build a 16x32 shop with a gabled roof with storage upstairs...

I am in the process of planing and saving to build a garage at my house. I know I want it to be a 16x 32 with an upstairs storage room. My question now is should I build the frame out of 2x4's or would it be better to go with 4x4 post and 4x6 headers? It will be a slab foundation, probably 5"...

Well after talking to a few contractors to get an estimate on a concrete slab poured instead of a wood floor, I do believe a slab is what is going to happen. It's surprised me when my wife actually agreed on building the shop and then she said she would feel better if we had a concrete slab...

I've been on this site for over a year and haven't really posted much. I currently have a 12x16 storage shed at my house but I have somehow talked my wife into letting me build a bigger shop/shed. My main goal is to get my woodworking in a shop instead of my back porch, I also need a place to...

I've been researching and planning to build a shed this size. Do you have anymore updated pics of the inside and what are you storing in it? I what to do wood working in mine and I have a 53 f100 I need to store.
