From The Ground Up Build A Garage

Building a custom garage takes a well thought out plan.  Because there are many components needed to build a garage, a well designed plan is a must.  Accurate measurements are another must before you start designing your plan.  Knowing the costs to build a garage and having all the necessary materials on hand is essential, so when the building starts, no stoppage takes place.

Build A Garage With A Step By Step Plan

Consider the where and how big your garage will be, as the first step in your design. The size of the garage door will be a vital part of that decision.  Because you are going to have a custom garage plan, it is easier to construct the garage around the door, then trying to squeeze it in the plan later.  Next, find some local garage door stores and research what they have to offer.

Your custom plan should come together much easier by starting with the garage door.  Your cars determine the height and width of your garage door.  Once you have your garage door measurements, you are probably going to add some side room of at least a foot on either side.  In addition, you will need to add a minimum of a foot on top for headroom and at least 18 inches past the height of the door for proper operation.  Your basic outline for how to build a garage is complete.

Now you are ready to get into the nuts and bolts of your custom garage.  Picking the wall hangs, cabinetry and of course the flooring design are the next steps in your plan.  Make sure to research before you buy, as each of these components have their own unique features and qualities.  I prefer metal to wood as wood has a tendency to rot in water and garages, no matter how well constructed.

Colors and other options for the walls, doors and floor are an important part of deciding how to build a garage. There are many different things you can go with but I suggest finding a theme and sticking with it. A popular idea lately has been to model your garage around your favorite sports or race team. This gives you a very defined color palette to work with and will focus your design even more.
