Main concerned is the drain. If i should plug it or not. The way i see it with frost heave this is no different than having a non heated garage on top of it. Probably even better with snow insulating it.

No flooring will be on concrete. Maybe epoxy down the road

Not concerned about frost heave. It is a thickened edge monoslab. Constructed on about 8ft of well draining gravel

Recently poured a monolithic slab and doubt i will have time to put up the building before winter. I live in canada so freezing temps and lots of snow How would you go about protecting the slab? Monolithic slab with anchor bolt around the perimeter and center drain. I thought about blocking...

Ill reconsider the height for sure. I wanted a 10ft door but should prob be good with 9ft. Even a 10ft door i can prob get away with 8in of concrete and 10ft stud . Should give me about 11ft

Ill keep that in mind for 2 door vs a large one door.

Do you have interior picture? I will never put more than one car in the garage so even with atvs and snowmobile i should be left with rougly the same amount of space as you

I started playing a bit in sketchup. looks like a might be looking at 28x32 26x32 or 26x34 or maybe even 24x36. (24x36 was my original plans but was trying to keep cost down a bit. what do you guys think? deeper, wider or square? anybody got similar setup and would like to share their...

Attic trusses will give me a 12ft by 6.6ft size room above the garage. and the roof will have roughly 9'6" so a total height approx. 22ft.

Yes loft will be living trusses. I understant that im loosing about a foot with a 2x6 wall structure but a truck is about 7ft leaving me with roughly 8ft on each side of the truck. Even with cabinet on both side i should still have roughly 6ft. The way i see it i will be tighter on the depth...

Like most of you suggested ill draw everything out tonight and see where that brings me.

12' is the height of the shop. loft will be on top of that.

Hi im planning a garage this coming summer and would like some input on sizing. My current plans is for a 24x30x12ft. one 16x10 door on the 24 side. with a loft. Used for the garage will be for working on car / toys / full size truck (one at a time) Won't be used to park vehicule. Will also...

I have a overhang. Im just concern about wind. I will cover the exposed wood with Aluminium. I was thinking of maybe use some cedar "shim" to get a little slope under the door but looking if others has done anything different.
