This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzread.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

With all of us (especially today’s new home customer) getting EV’s, you need a divider wall between the garage bays that’s a foot wider than the house you showed (should be 3-ft minimum). That location between the garage doors is prime real estate for the Level 2 car charger that can reach cars in either bay! The EV charger is another reason to go with two doors in a 2-car garage, instead of one large door. Also, our builder recommended 9’ wide doors to appease the “F-150” crowd with their large mirrors. We went with a “small” 9’W x 8’H door plus a “large” 9’W x 10’H door - and we are glad we did. A good idea for how to set up a modern garage for EV’s might be a good video topic. Since EV manufacturer’s have not yet standardized the location for the charging port (front, rear, left, right), it actually might be best to have a post between between the bays halfway down the parking stall to reach all four corners of a possible EV. Charger cords are only a max of 25 ft by code, which is very short.

@@tlangdon12 In the U.S., I think the firefighters can pull the meter, which is normally on the outside of the building, and that cuts the power to the whole building. I think my meter panel (located outside my garage) also has disconnect switches inside for the two 200 amp panels in my garage, allowing a firefighter to turn off power to the house.

nice detail on the doors. on my own we had to cut the concrete to fit a replacement door. having a treated timber surround thats also easily replaceable is a smart idea. also nice job on the roof ties. more the better. nothing like a blown in garage door to lift up the roof.

Just got done framing our DIY garage. Great tips!! Thank you! 🙏🏻

I have a pickup and an Expedition. I need 18 inches of space on each side of my 9 foot wide single garage doors to swing the vehicle doors completely open. This means the divider between the two garage doors is 18 inches (unless you intend to open the doors of both cars at the same time, which I don't). You could accomplish the same thing with a 20 foot wide double garage door, but not the standard 18 footer. I like to store stuff 3 feet deep along the walls beside the vehicles, which means I need 4'6" between the edge of each garage door and the side walls. So the total interior width of the 2-car garage is 28'6". Works great and I have tons of storage. Interior length is 24 feet which leaves room for shelves or cabinets on the back wall too. I have a separate workshop, so no need to squeeze that into the garage space.

First thing I noticed..... strapped ceiling. Nice!

My only hang-up and pet peeve with this garage build is the amount of space that will be on the drivers side of the car in either parking space in the garage. I think there should be a minimum 24" in the center or either side of the garage specifically, so that you can park your car and get in and out of your car without having to pull some sort of Dukes of Hazzard move. The OTHER reason is that it allows you room to run shelving and 2' counters to work on in the garage, or roll your tool chest against a side wall and still be able to open a drawer when you have your car parked, and the garage door shut in the dead of winter. Or, to be able to store your lawn mower, rototiller, spreader... That 24" on both sides of a garage and center is important.

I tend to agree with you, but check out how deep the garage seems to be when they walk in at the beginning. Plenty of room for a workshop area deep inside. Also, I get the feeling this is a special use garage since it’s obviously freestanding on a large property. For instance the owner has two vintage Porsches and wants a place to winter them. Smaller sports cars would still have plenty of room if those are 10’ doors.

You are exactly right. Even if it is a special use garage, building for future use when someone may want to pull a truck and large SUV into the space will be tough. They aren't cramped for lot size, so taking 3' off the depth and adding it to the width if budget is a concern would have been way smarter. EVERYBODY knows, figure out the amount of space you want, then double it for your garage.

Partner with Simpson and a do a deep dive on the strong wall. I’ve always done “flag” sheathing inside and out.

You guys don't explain *why* you add the extra 6". Is it to give more room to swing car doors open? To provide more facing area for trim boards? Is it just about aesthetics or something else? Also agree with the comment to install wider garage doors if you can. They make such a big difference for ingress and egress given the trend towards larger vehicles, and also give you more aisle space to open doors or carry stuff without dinging the vehicles parked inside. I installed 9' wide doors in our custom house, and ended up with a good 4' of aisle space between our cars, and also more clearance on both end walls for shelving.

That's because those hold-downs are required for seismic locations. Since most of the country lies in Class A or B, standard fasteners are sufficient. There are better straps that don't chip away however. And if you design the coverage to be thick enough, you won't have that issue.

What is the price differential between 8’ and 9’ garage doors from a builder’s perspective? The difference from a user perspective is huge! Same question for a 7’ high door vs 8’ high door.

Our builder does brick returns at garage opening. We frame our opening 16'9" and use a 2x12 for garage door track backer, hanging into thr opening 4.5". Brick ends there. Very clean look and no wood on the exterior

The order of frustration of home owners with garages. #1 garage door header is too low,if a bonus room is above it...header should be directly under ceiling joists/rafters whatever you call them. #2 it's too shallow and/or narrow,you need room to open doors,have storage ÷ appliances on side/rear. #3 elevate garage slab to have slope to keep water from coming underneath. Notches/curbs are annoying to roll or even walk over unless you live in a high wind area . Grass and organics blow against driveways and soon its taller than the driveway surface creating a dam. #4 aesthetically/functionality you need 4ft of wall between doors. You can have your choice of storage/water hose reel/vacuum/mop sink on the inside,and it looks more balanced on the exterior. Too narrow/short of a garage seldom see vehicles,because it simply is not functional and water runs underneath from poor slope.

It's so nice to have a wide garage door. My builder house from the 1990's have two 7 foot doors, inside is only 15 foot wide, so you cannot open driver door if you pull in on the left or passenger door if you pull in on the right. Terrible working space, but what can you do.

He added PT wood on only the bottom few feet of the exposed door framing and pieced in pieces of non-PT above it. Why, other than to save a few bucks? It creates a joint on the weather-exposed frame. Unfortunately, I’ve seen more un-treated wood used for the exterior framing on the garage door and have replaced a bunch of it later (when it rotted) with PT.

@tlangdon12

Жыл бұрын

If you look at the start of the video, you can see that the Zip sheathing has been taken over the entire door frame, providing some cover to the untreated wood (from the front), but I agree it would have been more sensible to ensure the all timber that is facing the opening is PT so that the side is also protected. Others have commented that 1 inch of a non-rotting material (e.g. PVC) at the very foot for the frame would give much greater protection from standing water wicking its way up the end grain.

Use masonite for protection

by the look of steve's face you better put a hurricane strap every joist 5:12

Nice framing and ideas, but don't like the little space between the doors and the sides to the wall, if you have two cars in the garage, it is hard to open the doors without hitting the wall or the other car, an extra foot makes a big difference.

Therefore, the wall tie is under the treated sill in direct contact with the Acq treated lumber and along the side of the Acq. I did an experiment with Acq, different steel strapping, and fasteners. With minimal dampness it lasted 5 years. Completely dry it lasted 15 years. Stainless, copper has lasted the best so far and then Acq fasteners Is starting to deteriorate where the coating has been removed from the installation process.
