I think I’ll add some diagonals to the bottom chords and I’ll inspect how well the other braces are attached to the bottom chords before I insulate and drywall the ceiling.

What do you mean 4’ at each corner at the doors? Also what is portal framing?

The truss drawings only call for bracing at the top and bottom chords. The top says structural sheathing or purlins at X spacing. We used 5/8” structural sheathing. Bottom chord says rigid ceiling or 10ft on center purlins. We have 10ft on center bracing. The framers nailed 2x4s for bracing...

I just had this 35x24 garage built. 10ft high walls and 24ft span trusses. yesterday I noticed if I grab the gable wall and try hard to shake it that I can shake the garage slightly. I think I need diagonal braces on the long 35ft wall and maybe one on each end of the wall with the doors The...

So I haven’t posted anything because there hasn’t been much progress. I ordered garage doors but they were 16 weeks out from order date. So 12 more weeks to go. I decided To build temp doors since I’m storing building materials and I don’t need people to see what I have in there for 3 months. I...

I’m getting ready to purchase an electrical panels for my detached garage and also my house addition. I’m going to grab both with all the breakers at the same time. My house has a Murray/Siemens panel and my old garage had the same brand. I’m going to run each sub panel off 100amp breakers but I...

So I really like the doors you have so i made the last minute change. The door guy was able to switch the doors to the same short panel recessed as you have. Definitely a more timeless design. I’m putting the handles and hinges though. Thanks again for posting the pictures of your doors!

Nice looking doors.now I’m second guessing if I should have gone with the short recessed panels like you. I ordered the doors today. The rep called me telling me there would be a 20% increase in price started next week so I made the decision. I went with the 3 over 3 windows and long panel.

Sorry that picture is not my garage. Here is my garage. Also here are the windows and the man/walk in door which will be on it. Sorry for the sideways uploaded pic

Looks like I’m getting haas doors and the lead time is 16weeks. I’m going to get the doors installed by the rep and he is going to install the tracks to follow my scissor trusses. He said it will still hang 12” away from the ceiling. Is there a way to get the door closer that maybe he doesn’t...

That’s basically what I went. I had a garage door guy come out yesterday and he’s the lead times he is telling me is crazy. 10-16 weeks for doors!

I’m getting ready to order my garage doors. Who has 10 x 8 doors and can you post a picture of the style? I’m looking for something like a recessed, beadboard, or carriage house style door. I was trying to design some Ammar doors online but they don’t show what a 10ft will actually look like...

A piece of flashing tape got left on the floor of the garage and now there is some black residue. It’s from DuPont flextape nf. I’m assuming the black backing is butyl. I’m going to try to scrape it off tomorrow but what is the best thing to use to try to clean the remaining residue?

Re: New 35x24 Garage Build - Veeps' Garage The builders got the roof done last week and the windows installed on Thursday. It started snowing before they finished tyveking. I didn’t get a fully tyveked picture

I haven’t posted much on here because of a new garage being built and house addition happening. For that reason, I need an extension ladder as. Ok I have a 2 story house and the garage which will need to be sided. I found a good deal on this Louisville 24ft fiberglass extension ladder with 300lb...

That’s a you **** deal. Great pickup!

Thanks Thanks! I have to get my s10 going after this massive project is done. Art and design are something I always try to incorporate in everything. It’s all about balance and symmetry. No I don’t. It’s actually a parking lot for the senior center and little league field. There is a fence...

Re: New 35x24 Garage Build - Veeps' Garage

Re: New 35x24 Garage Build - Veeps' Garage A few days and the building is up. They still have to finish installing some supports, hurricane clips, Tyvek and windows. They might do the roof before the windows but we are waiting on shingles right now. Doors are pending. I need to get the garage...

I had the framers just close up the gable end for now. I can cut out an opening if I decide I need it. I might not even need it for the 8ftx8ft attic area. I might have just enough room between the scissor truss and attic where I don’t need the outside door. I assess once I insulate decide how...
