I've had my wonderful garage built for a year or so. Did all the work myself with the help of some buddies. In the designing and quoting phase of the process I was talked into just ordering manufactured roof trusses from a local company. 12/12 pitch. Long story short, when I ordered them...

As all of you are aware, there are some very talented metal fab guys on this board. I however am not one of them. I’m hoping the experts can lead me in the right direction. Recently, I came up with an idea for a specialty product that is made from aluminum. There are 2 pieces that can be...

I'm in the planning stages for an exterior steel stair case to go up to the room over my garage. Does anyone have any recommendations for a tread supplier they have dealt with. There are a lot online, but want to make sure I deal with a reputable one. I would need around 12-15 treads. Thanks

I think I've figured out which lift I would like which is the HD-9SWX. It's a little wider so I might be able to use it to store a car and park under it. My question is Bendpak says it has an 88" lift height. Is this the actual height clearance under the supports/lift? I'd like to park my...

This is an odd circumstance but my new garage is just being finished and we had 5" of hard rain in 24 hours. To give a little background, I dug footings then had the mason lay 2' of block on top. Then I did the DIY waterproofing with tar. Needless to say, I went out to the garage this morning...

I am getting ready to order garage doors for my build and am looking at the two openers. Anyone have feed back on the units. I have heard good things about both. I want the unit to be out of the way so it doesn't take away from the 12' ceilings. Thanks

I am building a new 30x30 garage and wanted to know what options were available for taller heights. I would like to use a low profile light or flush mount light either between the roof trusses or as high up as possible. I have also thought about using the wave patterned silver tin roofing for...
