I also live in Colonie. What height did they tell you the garage could be? And from what do you measure? Floor or average grade? I'm interested in the pole barn type too. Did they tell you the posts could be buried in the ground or must be above? Thanks in advance. Tony

I'm going to assume we live in the same town (from your other thread). I was reading the building codes and it read like you don't need a full foundation if it is built with a frost protected shallow foundation. Meaning, basically foam insulation under the slab. I read it is used in new homes...

WOW! Two of us from Albany,NY. I would be interested in who you find. My project is, hopefully, starting next spring. Tell us something about your project.

Very nice. Do you have any complaints with Shirk? I'm looking at doing a similar building. Would you mind giving the package price? Did you insulate the roof? One last question. Do you know the height to the peak? Thanks.

Any updates?

I would never be able to do that where I live (codes).

Is that a slab with no footer?

How much height do you fiqure to gain with the scissor trusses? What is the roof pitch?

Lets say you are about to build a garage and wanted to rent, or buy used, one piece of heavy equipment. This would be used for lifting people and materials (trusses, headers, etc.). What would be the most useful? Picking from forklift, manlift, scissor lift or ? Thanks.

Great looking garage. Just curious, did you have to use the firring strips over the wrap? Or could you just have nailed the siding to the sheathing? I've never done siding, just asking.

I also live in NY and built a 24' x 24' garage on a slab. That was 25 years ago. No cracking to speak of. Now the code is different, can't use slab on anything over 400 sq ft. But, like Bimmer1980 said the way around this is with "FPSF" (frost protected shallow foundation). I'm looking to build...

Interesting, but the on site delivery is a problem. Thanks.

Thanks Dean. I found their website.

Hi, Has anyone here had a pole barn style garage built in the Albany,NY area? I'm looking to build a garage (28 x 36) in the near future and would like some recommended companies. Thanks.

Very nice garage. What is the pitch of the roof? I'm planning on 28' deep for my garage too.

Used mine to lift the bodies off of my '41 Caddy and '30 A coupe, by extending the boom. Was a little unstable, but worked out fine. I was alone doing this too. Also worked good for putting engines in the back of my full size van.

This is a GREAT forum. I'm looking into adding on to my existing 24'x24' garage that I built 25 yrs ago. I have 3 hot rods, one is a project and two driven. Two are currently stored in those portable garages, which I hate. Look forward to getting your ideas. Tony
