RV garage pictures

finally build the cover, I will close it in next year.... when the funds are there.

Morton sells steel buildings with leantos on either side so you can have a shop or storage space. They are called Monitor style and 1 36 X 40 would run 36 K as they quoted me. That's with cement floor and insulation with 2 rollups and 2 walkthrus, windows and skylights.

I will also attest to the need to build for the future. My dad built for their old Class C. When they upgraded to an A they had to raise the door and lengthen the building. When they upgraded to a pusher, they were limited to the size of the garage.

My garage is 26' x 52' with 16' sidewalls. If I were to do this again I would go a little longer (truck and 5er just fit in when they are attached since I now have a crew cab long bed. I also would go a little wider as I put my boat and 5er next teach otherer, and it is very tight to get them side by side when the slides are out.

Also, install lots of windows. Natural light is key.

Here are some photos of mine.

I want one of these!

This is a photoshop concept image I created a year before the build.


My finished building. 36Wx64L, 14ft walls for any RV type clearance. The high doors (front and back) are 12Wx13.5H The wide door is 16Wx10H. The side door(lawn equipment access) is 12Wx10H. Six windows for good light. Two floor drains are centered with the front doors.


Common lengths for polebarns are increments of 8ft for efficient use of material. With a 64ft drive-thru, I can drive in and park the Burb and 33' trailer without unhitching. Then pull thru and drive around when pulling out. I ran three 2"PVC conduits for power, communications(TVCoax and cat5), and air line to get air up to the attached garage. Calculations for square footage were: Add up what I have and double it. It fills up fast!

Primary requirement was to keep the snow off my trailer. Logs were free and are mounted on concrete posts.

Looks good!
Those "engineered" trusses wouldn't pass my township zoning board. :)
The natural structure should camouflage nicely for the surroundings.

Bionic man ....you are my hero! that is one very nice garage!! unfortunatly my neighbors would have a fit if they saw me constructing that, they already complain about my camper in the driveway even though it is suronded by shrubbery.

40x50
Two 12'w x 14'h doors - can drive RV right through
16'w x 8'h car door

Oh man, I'm liking that! No problem with future extension or upgrade, either.
