I am hoping to drop one here in the coming week!

I got a couple of quotes to build a 24x24 garage recently too. I go quotes in the $54-60k range. My foundation is already done.. so I'm just gonna build it myself in the spring. I'm pretty sure I can build it for under $20k. Anyway.. good job man.

For sure! And thank you! If it helps, you will need: 120 studs for walls with double headers and two 8’H x9’W doors. Two rolls of sill seal 20 sheets for the walls 8’ high 25 sheets for 10’ high walls 32 total sheets if you go cape style like mine. 13 trusses total (24” centers 35 psi load) 2 of which are gable ends (cost me $2800…shop around) I used one roll of 9x150’ house wrap 30 roof sheets of 5/8 (19/32) cdx and 100 clips (24” centers require clips for 5/8 in my area) I sourced siding through ABC supply wholesaler and went with plygem .044 thick cost me $2300 (big box stores are cheaper as they sell only .042)

@@thestateofreal2533 Thx for that info. I'm probably not gonna use a truss system. I'm planning to do joists for a second floor space.. and use a ridge beam and roof rafters. I'm also gonna use zip board sheathing.. and I'm gonna log side it to match my house.

Walls are 10 feet to the bottom of the roof trusses. As an after thought I probably could have gone 12 feet tall so I could put bigger doors and drive camper into the garage but that wasn’t my intention.

Hey, love the garage! Building a 24x24 this spring, I was wondering if you had to put an enginered slab down for that or just regular? If you still have the plans, it would be great save me 500 bucks lol.

At the end of the day it depends on if you pull a permit or not. Places (states, townships, county’s) have different requirement. Im in PA a stones throw from Hershey and for the most part my township will accept hand drawl plans on the building permit. When talking about slabs there are two types: floating and a slab on foundation (has a footer). Typically floating slabs, unless engineered properly, you don’t build on-top of in Pa because frost heaving causing them to move and crack under load. Most pole barn or post buildings have a floating slab. Floating slabs do not need to be engineered because they are not supporting a large load and typically end up being cheaper. I have to figured out a way to post my plans someplace.

@THE STATE OF REAL I kind of figured you had slab on foundation but wasn't sure. I'm in Cape Breton Nova Scotia and with the frost here going 4 feet, I was kinda figuring that if I went with the same design, I would have to go slab on foundation Most 24x24s here just do floating slabs. But again I built a 28x46 for a friend of mine with a 28x14 foot loft and slab was just floating. It was a rebuilt his 3 door burnt.

May have missed it but what is the pitch, how much floor space in the loft and is that a specific truss style that you would ask for? Thanks.

If my memory serves me right I believe I ordered 10/12 pitch trusses 26’ with 60-70 lb per square foot bottom cord with a 24’ free span. This made the loft height 7’8”. My suggestion is shop around with local truss companies and tell them what you need and they will send you blue prints. Tell them what you are seeing other places price wise to see if they will compete. These dimensions and load will change with snow load requirements based on your area which these manufacturers will help you determine over the phone. 60-70 lbs/sqft was communicated to me to be enough to have a long term living space but not enough to store a grand pianos haha

That’s good news for you…cheaper trusses! No problem!

Oh, sure. It's only the WIFEY's extra stuff that will need storing. Elevator is the right idea though. I had a piano warehouse on my property in Arkansas and it had a manual elevator that worked with counterweights and was great. Look up designs. Doesn't have to be hydraulic or even electric.

@thestateofreal2533

You know it! I thought about doing counterweights initially but I decided on the electric hoist idea because it seemed like more work to keep weights around for heavier objects besides myself and I’d have to build the structure to withstand twice the weight.

@@thestateofreal2533 Yes. This was for upright pianos in their heyday. I'm sill amazed that homes have been so slow to adopt elevators.. The amount of space wasted in staircases in a modest home is ridiculous, plus it ruins isolating 1st floor air from 2nd when only one need be heated or cooled most times. But, I digress . . . ;)

@@steve123261 a couple reasons. There is no foundation under my concrete slab. In a pole barn style buildings the 6x6 post are the foundation and are buried 36-48” deep so the punch plug and post are below the frost line. If you were to place the structure on a slab here in PA, you would deal with frost heaving issues long term making the structure unsafe to occupy. Frost heaving can cause slabs to shift and topple walls. In order to build a roof supported by the exterior walls (placed on top of a foundation) the header plate has to be doubled. In order to support the walls with studs 16” IC.

Where do you locate? How much is the foundation?
