Join me as I share my experience setting up a Harbor Freight 12x20 garage. I'll walk you through the process and discuss any problems I encountered along the way. If you're thinking about getting one of these garages, this video is a must-watch!

Thanks for a clear and concise walkthrough, seems like a solid choice.

Just bought one and putting it up this weekend. I had the 10x17 and it held up great till we had a small tornado hit us here in Florida a couple weeks ago so it ended up in the trees lol. They are $399 even without the inside track discount.

Do the straps come with or did you purchase to add extra strength?

What are the dimensions for the door? Would like to find some temporary storage for a small Kubota.

As long you have an existing building, puttting a limited life, soft shelter up against it is not worth it. Run a row of posts 10' interval 24" in the ground, add the ledger boards, 2x6 rafters 3' oc, 1x4 purlins 2' oc. New or used tin (if used NP1 will sealup thr old screw holes). I think you can double or triple the area for the same $350 cost. Yes, I left the girts and side tin off as they came be added later. But congrats on the completed project and the gained space.

Thanks. I actually considered doing that and to set up the structure for it of the same size, no bigger, it costs the same amount in lumber here. To do the whole length was around $1000, in just wood. So we opted for this to knock it out faster and if it holds up well enough we can take it with us.

@lindseyacresfarm 60 for the rafters, 45 for the posts, 33 for the purlins, 34 for the ledgers ($175 after tax on wood) (scraps for knee bracing). metal just broke my perception of reality 53 a sheet for a ribbed roof panel 3x12 becomes $371 in metal. (Though used it would be about 70 worth of metal.) I did not factor in fasteners, but they add up. I'm just picturing a leanto shedroof, and did not factor in girts or side metal. And for the exercise 12x20 footprint. The HF shed has the advantage of being readily movable to a new property if that becomes an option. Maybe I just enjoy doing things the harder way.

Double those prices and that is what I am paying for wood here 😔 I would love the lean to, but time vs cost vs flexibility the garage won out.

@@lindseyacresfarm half those prices come from Neosho, MO Lowe's, the other half from the my neighbors sawmill. The cost of a 1x4 purlin doesn't make sense from Lowe's, once you start breaking down into BF you start to see the irregularities.
