Thanks for all the info people! I think I will just stick to my original dimensions of 28x36, may even add one more truss and make it 28x38!

Just wondering what you guys think is the best configuration for a garage? I was originally going to go 36wide by 28 deep but I think it is going to look odd with the way my property is layed out. Should I maybe go 28wide by 36 deep? Should even be a little cheaper that way... I will mainly be...

Awesome job! I too am a Ford man and hope to have some of those sweet neon signs in my garage someday! Question; is that some type of netting in your garage door operning?

Yes I will make sure they are of good quality! Is that your Chevelle in your profile picture?

I like the look of that interior!

Great info, I think I will see if I can switch my package to 2x6 and 10ft walls...

You can see in the picture, but there is a man door just around the corner from the smaller door...

I think i will go with the 8foot doors after all, the only reason I was thinking of eliminating the smaller garage door was the fact that I wanted to set up my little sitting area/work bench in that corner, away from vehicles etc...

Thanks for the info, I'll have to ask my building center if they can substitute scissor trusses!

Define "scissor truss". Im kinda new to this garage thing and am by no means a carpenter. What would the advantage or scissor trusses be? And I was thinking of adding a few skylights...

Around $8700.00 from Home Hardware... I will be having someone frame/roof it, and I am hoping to do all the finishing work myself.

The lumber is premium, I believe it will be 2x4 studs but I can upgrade them to 2x6. I am thinking about eliminating the 9x7 door and replace it with a window and use that side of the shop for my bikes etc...

Below is an image of the garage I want. It comes in a package deal from my local hardware store up here in Ontario Canada. 36x28, 1 7x9 insulated door, 1 16x7 insulated door, 1 man door and 2 fair size windows. The package deal comes with everything for a fully complete garage except insulation...

I would like to have a drain running up the middle of the bay, with a nice slope inwards.

Can anyone give me a ball park figure on what a shop like the one I would like will cost me?

I am going to insulate, just not sure if I'll do sprayfoam or regular pink insulation, then instead of drywall I was going to use chipboard and paint it. Just wondering what I should use to coat the walls to help with the moisture/water overspray as I will be washing my vehicles an awfull lot...

Looking for pictures of a 28x30 2 door garage, and a 28x30 1 door garage. I would like to use one bay as a wash/cleanup bay, and the other bay for maintenence and tinkering. Is 28x30 a good size for what I am looking for? Any input and pictures would be appreciated!
