Those are great suggestions! Im hesitant to switch the back wall windows, only because then I couldnt shoot deer out of them. HAHAHA!

1. We are in sand country and garage will be elevated similar to house, where grade gradually slopes from building. Not a fan of the door pocket idea, just my opinion. 2. Hear that from everyone in my area. 3. Exactly what im leaning toward. Been chatting a with a few locals who have more...

Primary purpose of this build is simply a garage, with minimal wrenching being done, unless its on lawnmowers, utvs, small stuff... etc.. We have a shop just down the road that has a lift so the likelihood of a lift going in is pretty much slim to none. I would be building 12' walls if that were...

@Jackfre great suggestions! One of those things that easily gets overlooked. In relation to the house and its orientation, I wouldnt be too concerned with shading, although it is a valid point to bring up! That would be great to zero out that electric bill!

@Codyboy you saying you have a 4" curb around the perimeter, that slopes to 6" at the low point? My In-laws shop has a similar curb the walls are built on, just no slope, flat slab.

And thats the exact reason I posted this! When we built our house in '21, we pre-planned so much stuff and asked endless amounts of questions. The feedback is priceless, especially on things that get overlooked. Ive really gotta give these drains alot more thought. Basically, its 3 round...

I would agree. Only reason for this is I would prefer 9' high doors, wasnt exactly sure if those jive with 10' sidewalls or if that allowed adequate space for headers. I did find a very similar build that was called out at 10'-4" with 10x9 doors, so i just rolled with it. Not set in stone, these...

This is what I was initially picturing, but seems to be a lot of pitching going on. Which lead me to a possible central slot drain running E-W, and then youre just dealing with pitching toward the center from the north and south sides.. Ill have to discuss with concrete guy when i get one on...

Not going to be used for a primary shop, although will do some wrenching here. Snow/Ice covered vehicles in Wisco during the winter can leave you with a mess on the floor if there are no drains.

Squirrel Piss. No rhyme or reason, just always been that way.

Hey All, new here. Located in Central Wisco and am planning a new build for next year. Going detached, roughly 20' away from house (garage will sit to the west of the house). Currently getting all my grading done so it can settle over the winter. Size of garage is looking like 50x32 w/10'-0"...
