Garage kits are the handy man’s dream. Almost anybody can put one together that has a little mechanical ability. With garage kits you have to choose the style and size of garage you want. There are options you should consider before purchasing.
Garage kits can be as simple or as fancy as you would like. They come with an easy to follow plan and step by step directions. The kit will include all framing materials and optional finish materials such as garage door insulation and internal panels. You choose your finishing materials from the company or you can get it at your local lumber yard.
The garage kit comes to you for assembly. It includes all the framing required and is all precut. The plates and wall studs are all precut so you have to follow the plan and assemble the walls. There is generally a truss designed rafter system that sits on top of the walls. All sheathing is provided, you have to nail or screw it in place. There is optional window and door openings available when choosing your kit. There is soffit, garage roofing material, and siding options. There are many types of roofing options. Many styles of asphalt or fibreglass shingles and metal roofing to choose from. Siding has a range from wood, metal, and vinyl, that can come in many colors and styles. Soffit options are metal, vinyl, or wood. These products do not generally come precut. Whoever is building the garage kit will have to make a few cuts to finish the project. These exterior options can come with the kit or you can get them yourself.
When you are thinking about getting a garage kit make sure you research the company. Some fly by nighters do not include enough of the right materials to build your project. Good companies offer a solid material package where you do not have to glue the sawdust together to finish it and your wooden garden furniture to prop it up.
