^^^This is a fantastic space. The trusses for the vaulted ceiling...Are they scissor trusses? I have not seen ones that are that angled before. To everyone that has contributed so far , I am very greatful. I am getting lots of good ideas here.

Welcome. Ottawa, Ontario here.

Camaro454 Thanks for the pictures. That is the exact size I am looking for! And can I add that I love your cars. Personally, the gold 70 makes me drool!

I am in Ottawa. Any contacts you can provide would be appreciated!

So...After seeing bmxdad's pole building garage, I think I want one. I have spent the last several hours on the web looking for a pole building in Ontario Canada and I can not find one for the life of me! Has anyone in Ontario built a pole building? Anyone in Canada? I can't imagine that...

The company has a version that does not have the integrated heat piping that is only good for about 600 sqft. The heated version I am looking at can be any size. On their website they have pics of huge installs. I am going to call the company on Monday and get an idea of costs. Apparently it...

Hey, Planning to build this summer and I have already got a bunch of good information from the people on this site. I am in Ottawa, Canada and I have recently come across this foundation system that allows you to pour slab on grade with no footings even up here with our lousy winters. It...

I cant see the OP's pictures??? Is it just me? EDIT: Never mind...They're back!!

You guys have given me a LOT to think about! Judging from some of the pictures, I think 30x40 is the size that will work well for me and all of the stuff I seem to bring home and that will still look reasonable on my lot. I like the way that bmxdad's garage went together. That is a pole...

20x30 sounds large, but you're right that once a couple of cars get in there, it seems tight! I might be able to push it to 26' or 28' wide by 40' deep, but I think that would be the limit. Any bigger and it will start to make my house look small!

I was checking out your tiling thread. Very nice! I think the smallest I am considering is 24x40, but you have done a great job of utilzing a small space.

I already have a 2 car garage for parking the "daily drivers", so the new garage will basically be for working on vehicles, welding, etc. I will be restoring an old Bronco and in the next year acquiring some sort of sports/collector car for my mid life crisis! Also planing to go with a vaulted...

I was in a similar situation...40 year old ranch house 22x22 garage with a badly sunken and cracked floor. I was quoted $2500 for mudjacking and $4000 for a new pour. Like yours the surface of the floor was not in great shape, so I opted for a new floor. It was put in 2 summers ago and I love...

Hello All, Long time lurker and now getting ready to think about a build. I know bigger is always better :), but I am thinking about a a simple gable at around 24x40. Looking at a floorplan, I am having a very hard time envisioning how that size will work in the real world. Could you helpful...
