RV garage pictures

Here is a good planner for a building:

Put all your equipment in the building and when all done, double the size you think you need. :)

good questions to ask!! thanks hiker hunter!!

I agree with the others about the door height. 14' minimum. Your wall height needs to be about 16 feet to allow for the roll up door housing if you want to clear 14'. Also you'll be more comfortable with a 12' wide door. That's what I have on mine and I'm glad I didn't go any narrower or shorter. I'll post pix when I get a chance to shoot some in the daylight.

Also, don't forget:
- 30amp and 50 amp power
- A floor drain for when you pull in when it is raining. Mine just dumps out the back of the building. Not for tank drainage.
- A stoop over the walk-through access door so you won't get wet in the rain while you figure out where your keys are.
- while you are running conduit for your power, run an extra conduit for low voltage wiring like telephone, alarm system and a coax. I use a coax in mine run from my satellite dish to keep my receiver in the 5er authorized so I don't have to wag a receiver back and forth or reauthorize it if it's been off for a while.
- gutters all the way around
- lots of 120volt outlets inside and a couple facing the outside in weather proof covers.
- I ran a pex water line to mine because it was convenient. Glad I did, I have used the heck out of that for various things. No hot water, but a hand washing sink.
- You are in a hot area like I am. I installed a thermostatically controlled power ventilator as well as a passive ridge vent. The power ventilator was installed low to keep from interfering with the ridge vent action. There is enough ventilation in the garage that I would be comfortale running a heater in the winter time in order to use the 5er as a "spare" guest bedroom.
- a workbench!

Whenever your building a garage or shop, you need to figure what size you need and then double it and add 10% and it might be big enough

hey guys,
sorry to post on an old topic but i am thinking about the building again... i had a money set back, and i think i will be ready about May.
settled on a 20x40 building open carport design that i can close in one wall at a time. gonna go 16' tall so i can put a 14' door on the front.

if any of you folks have pictures i would love to see new ideas.

thanks, Fun w son

I'd imagine almost any construction company could do a pole building.

That door is 14x20, if you want to see something else I can draw it in no time. Say a 14' tall 12' wide with another say 10'x10' for a truck/boat/whatever

what size is the door? i need it at least 14' tall.
i looked into the pole barn designs. but couldn't find a company to come to south Louisiana to do it.
i want a totally closed in building due to the high winds we deal with.
