What is the min width of a garage you reccomend, and feel comfortable working in. Length is not important }dunn--
This question is for anybody.
Looking to build in the spring. Thanks Dave
The tents are 10' wide. It was usable but, you couldnt open both doors and still get past. Based on that... 14' is the minimum I would go if space was tight. and I wouldn't build...Too many places out there that would deliver a 14X24 (up to 32) for under $4000]

I agree, 14x24' minimum

Yes that works but you will but that only gives you enough room to work on one car.

Remember the question.... What is the
minimum
Been looking around, seems like most go from 12' to 16 ' wide, very few 14' and when you go to 16' the price goes way up ^jawdro%

Yeah, 25' x25' is tight with two Bugs & a Bus. Something has to go &$hmmthin_+
Add on to the garage!! An add on shed is great for storage. Bugs don't take up too much room until you disassemble them! I know because my garage is a "parts mess" right now! My garage is 24'X 40' and I need to add on a big shed! Go figure!

The reason Dave, 14' is the largest they can
TRANSPORT.

16 wide they have to build on site or deliver in 2 pieces and assemble.
Labor goes WAY up when they leave their production facility
Boy what a learning curve, -eyescan.= and I have not talked to my Township yet...

I don't think you would be to happy with 14' after you worked in it for a while.
They have a lot of buildings on display at the Williamstown Farmers Market but I don't think they are over 14'.
What's your situation Dave?
Well, I'm looking for work space that I can work on a car in the winter. I'm not going to retire in the house, so I don't want to spend $20K on a garage. I may have to compromise on space a little so I can afford a warm spot to work. I like the idea of a prefab garage. I'll try to upload a drawing I put together.

I still have to remove one big stump, and get a concrete guy to tell me what I need.
Eddie had a nice steel garage put up although I forget the price it sounded very good at the time.

I open to a metal building, don't know if the floor-footing, requirements are differant.
All I know is, Eddie said he had to poree the floor first
Hard for me to weigh in here working in an 11 feet by 18 feet garage.... :)
Well I think I'm going to use Jack's advice and pursue a steel building. I can get a 18' x 21" for $3000 "Built" , now I have to work on getting a price on the ground work, and concrete. Here is a pic of what I'm Looking at. Not sure about the color??

And the entrance door will be on the other side.
color don't look bad and if you wanted to change it I know a guy that I think has stock in R-------- and he could get you a case cheep.
Hee Hee!!!!
Ya know. I just showed the missus this garage... Hmmmmmm... Got an old basketball court out back that would make a lovely slab for a 18 by 20...
Hmmmmm, need 4k you say...
Hmmmmmmmm
You guys are tools.... &^rofl
Dave current rate... $4.25-$5 a sq ft for concrete installed.
Just to let you guys know, you can do this really really inexpensively... $799 carport enclosed with contrasting metal purchased from the same company
(http://www.allprowest.com/images/Enclosed_Carport_with_Garage_Door.jpg)
so thats about $ 2000 for concrete, and $800 for that building?
The carport is $799.00. I have seen them on sale in Millville for $699.00. 805 W Main street if the price is still the same. I think the side metal sections and overhead door are extra.
is that $799 instaulled on your slab?
No, You have to put it together yourself. I think they truck drop it to your site. I have a friend who built one of these. I can get more info from him if anybody wants it.
That's deninately a "you build"
There are alternatives to a slab... Good crushed concrete, well compacted will work...and it's cheeeeeeep
But you're not rolling a creeper on it
