I love your shop. Thank you for sharing, I have seen some with the spray foam insulation and then plywood to cover the walls. Good luck

I'm in the process of doing a metal bldg. Watching your video has given me the idea to lay down the waterproof caulking to the concrete before the steel comes in contact with it. Good video.

For a DIY insulation you can buy a froth pack and lay an inch of foam on the wall then add a the 1" insulation foam board. The use OSB board to cover it all up

That was a very good review Mr. Coffey. Looking forward to your 1 year update.

Lay down some landscaping fabric and gravel around the perimeter for proper drainage, also will keep sides of garage clean

Bro this is awesome, Wish I had this in New Zealand...

Thanks for overview. Great garage

I foam-boarded mine inside for insulation. Leaving approximately 0.75" air space between inside of metal siding/roof. This was done after I ran wiring. Then covered walls and ceiling with a final surface. Used expanding foam in corners and wherever there was light coming in. Also placed conduit in the floor below concrete to avoid drilling into sheet metal sides, worked beautifully! Off-set the garage doors (opposite walls, opposite corners) to save on usable space inside. Did NOT use the "bubble wrap insulation" very low "R" value for the money and deteriorates over time. Was able to insulate entire building with foam board for less than it would have cost to insulate only the roof with the Bubble insulation. Nice job on the video!

Very nice garage. And great video. Looking to do something very similar. Glad to hear you are in Michigan and it worked for you. I’m in MI, too.

This is a good, fair and genuine review 👍🏻

They do make garage door openers for roll up doors. I plan to put up one of these this year. Thanks for posting.

Looks great! I've got to get my land surveyed but the smallest it looked like I could go with was 24W×30D and was worried that'd be awfully small but after seeing the Ram and Vette in there with room to spare makes me feel better if I can't go larger.

I have one very simular to yours. Mine is a 20x25 which is all the room I had for it. I have a lift in the center which makes it pretty much a one bay garage with all my tools and benches around the sides. We all wish they were bigger after the fact. I used silicone to glue up reflective fiberboard insulation sheets to the sheet metal and it made it much cooler and quieter inside. I am in Alabama so it gets really hot here with no insulation. That back wall is a perfect spot to put an exhaust fan up high to cool yours down.

Looking at having one built here in the Grand Rapids area. Hoping to see one in person in the next few weeks. Great review, lots of good info 👊🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great review. I'm in the process of building a new log home and we went a little over budget and that money came out of the garage budget. So now I'm thinking about a metal garage instead of a matching log garage. Looks like a great alternative.

Nice looking shop, Look into menards metal roof accessories, they make a foam weather strip that will fit in those corners to seal up those draft holes, and it’s pre molded to the shape of those metal siding panels.

Nice shop looks great, I have a 30x24 slab already poured so my next step is the metal garage. What I plan to do is instead of using the tin siding I'm going to close it in with particle board tyvec it and then use vinyl or aluminum siding similar to a house. Doing this should make insulating inside much easier (I hope)! Lol I want the garage to blend into the neighborhood so you will never know it's a metal building. I have an all brick cape cod style home.

I think you should explore putting a French drain around the perimeter to protect your building from the negative slope. Really nice, though, and thanks for sharing this.

Love the color choice brotha! can’t go wrong!

It matches your trailer good

Nice!! I plan on doing the same, maybe 24x30.

Beautiful corvette, sir!

Nice Looks great !!!

Looks pretty nice ! My metal garage stays for 6 years already still sturdy like day one! I wish if I would build bigger one! Now im ordering 30x40

If been building them for over 15 years and finally my brother in law has his own company yes they should you offer insulation and advice to do a natch in your concrete to bring your metal down and don't have to use silicon but lm glad you happy with it we in Arkansas and happy to help to get your new projects

I've always wanted roll up doors because you have complete overhead access as the door is rolled up and not stretched out over half the garage. The roll up mechanism is very similar to the type you lready have and they have power roll up doors too. Probably cost more tho.. The vertical siding layout is probably the best option.

Se mira muy bien, los CARPEROS hicieron muy bien trabajo, NICE JOB GUYS 👋

I came here for the garage info but when you opened it and I saw that Vette I became even more jealous!! Lol I want a white C6 just like that!

Wish I saw this before I bought one! Stick build is the way to go. So many bugs and mice get in this. Mine is 12x20, needed storage for my daughters stuff, now that she moved out I use it for my Corvette. Upstate NY near Vermont and Bees are horrible, and mice make a mess out of everything. Stick building a 30x50 next and will use the metal for lawnmower and yards stuff!!

Very nice! I’m pricing out a 24x32 for next spring. Around me there are several pole garage builders that will build for $3k more than a steel frame structure. I’ll probably go with them because they are easy to insulate and include overhangs and gutters. Really informative video though and lets me see all the differences in construction.

Nice garage I would look into Rainhandler Gutters, they look like they work.

Been looking at maybe an 18x31 to store my compact tractor, zero turn & SXS. Probably won't do windows to keep prying eyes out. Not sure what I'd use for insulation, I'd certainly great stuff all the gaps. Put a security camera on the corner of the house.

Super hot 80 or 90 degree days🤣id love that summer we're currently living next to the sun in Texas getting up to 110 in some places🥵🥵🥵

That’s perfect I want to do the same I just need a house first😂

Great build. Trying to choose a garage for my new house in bfe Texas. Tuff shed wants 20 grand for a 20x20x9, which is waaay to much cash. I've found the metal ones run about 5 or 6 grand for the same size. I think I'm set on going metal with a concrete pad/apron. I need a metal roof for the hail storms,and insulated for the hot texas summers. Looks great!

So how deep of a footing did you pour for the concrete?

Was wondering what part of Michigan ? I’m near flint and wanted to know what kind permits you had to do? Thanks

Thx a Ton for the Post.

You might want to squirt some oil on your garage door torsion springs, it'll get rid of the clunking noise when the door starts coming up plus the door will operate alot smoother too

Looks great, give us another update in a year.

Closed cell spray foam is your only real option if you want to keep that building from rusting and you can still drywall it

Great video- Does this need to vented? or does all the gaps on the corners enough to vent excessive heat from the sun?

Hi use expanding foam for the gaps

For the loud factor possibly can put studio foam / sound deadening... just a thought

If you haven’t insulted yet, spray foam insulation would give you a better R-value and they could keep it flush to the metal studs then you could install osb, or drywall.sweet building. I would buy one for sure.

That's what I'm looking for 👍👍👍👍

Do you have footers under your concrete slab?

I would love a garage like that for my jeep projects

U can cut a square window into the door to get rid of diamond window

I'm in Michigan too and wanted to put in garage in this summer , was looking into the 24x24 wood style kit from Menards , but after watching this , I like that the price includes installation . Did you have to get footers on your concrete work? ... or just 4-5in slab.. I know for wood style at this size I would need footers .

FYI I heard the big black caulk really fills them gaps and cracks best.

Looks nice.. but when I had my pole barn built they built it in two days and it was a 30x40x12 building

Thank you for the video. I'm in the process of locating a company to build one of these for me and your video helped understanding the process a bit better. Can I ask, how was the humidity over the last few months? I'm in Ohio and that's one of my biggest worries.

How is that garage door holding up? Did they do any further reinforcement of the square tube frame? My 24x40 with 12g steel was just completed and has a 18x8 frameout.

Did you order it with that door then have a company install the opener? I am here in Michigan too and dont see the 18x8 option for a regular type garage door.

Could you say how much the concrete foundation cost? I am in Wisconsin about half and hour from Lake Michigan. I would like to build a workshop / garage. I have a Silverado 2500HD diesel, which I want to work on, along with other vehicles. I would like to have an in-ground car lift or a 2-post also.

I"m assuming you had the concrete pad poured first. How did you figure the size of the pad to pour, and how much did that cost? What about during the summer, the heat in the garage?

Whats the snow load rating for them??? Being metal i know a lot of times snow slides off but if they are not in the sun as much it will build up!

Super nice garage man. I’m looking to go the same route. I noticed you have the asphalt done after the garage was built. If you don’t mind me asking how much was that asphalt work? And how much did it cost you to have the pad poured?

What size is that garage door?? or. What measurements did you give for the Frame Out?? I'm about to get a 24 x 25 just like that. I like the one big door idea.

I was worried about putting one of these on a 4 inch slab. A contractor I talked to said the anchors they use are 3 1/2 inch long. For everyone asking about prices, in Cleveland oh, a 4 inch slab poured 20x25 was around $4000. I'm getting a 20x40 slab for $5500 poured 4 inches thick 👍

I live in Wisconsin and I'm looking to build one of these. I don't plan to heat the garage, but do you have an issue with the metal sweating and dripping onto your vehicles? Or is that more of an issue for those who heat their metal garages? Thank you.

I love the structure. Not sure I would have cut the grade to run water into the structure. Maybe some landscaping to ease that grade a little.

I was thinking about metal 24x36 garage as well. I was just wondering how is it with the snow? Does the roof hold the weight of all the snow? I'm worried about the roof collapsing. I'm in Wisconsin

thats alot nicer then i thought my dad told me to look into a metal garage instead of a traditional build and im 80% sold . what about lights do they allow them to be mounted in metal garages ?

How is it holding up?

I’m probably going to go with Carport Center here in WA State and have the exact set up as yours with the same colors, with your garage door did you need any special brackets to install it?

How do you like the compressor? was thinking of getting that one or the 8 gallon horizontal looking to use it at our camp to build a cabin with a frame nailer and maybe doing some raptor bed lining for on the roof of our camper.

Nice Garage! What’s the cross section of your concrete pad look like? I’m in Ohio looking to have this exact set-up built.

How much they charge you for the cement floor.

Love the garage man. Where can I get more information about making my own build ?

Just bought a house and looking into a metal garage! Yours looks good! Did you end up doing the concert slab your self?

How much was the total for just garage door(garage door,install and opener) ? Plan on getting a building up and I really don't like the roll up door option.

Hey, buddy great vid im checking out my choices right now. Moving to Michigan myself from Florida and def need a garage for my car!! Its been 3 years since your video How do you rate the garage still?? Holding up good?? you still Happy?

I may have missed it in the video but what was the cost for foundation and cost for building?

hey did you have to pull any permits to get this put up? and also what gauge steel did you go with on the tubing and framing 14 gauge or 12? i think 14 is standard thanks

How does your garage door operate without power in the garage?

Would you be able to add 2x4 or 2x6 Rafters so that you can add insulation to the roof, or will the roof not be able to take the load?

Nice garage am installer or all steel carports

What kind of building permits did you need?

How much was the concrete slab?

2 years in how is it holding ? do you still like it ? any issues ?

Silicone around the outside of the Slab where the building does not overlap the slab to keep the water from seeping in...

Hello, nice garage. I'm checking into one of these. What is your inside height? I have a two post lift and the posts are 11' 10" high. Thanks.

So with the concrete and the building how much are you in for close to 9K

Hey man I am doing this in the next month or so, just about the same exact setup. Can you link me to that 18x8 garage door? Also I know they do a cut out for you, is the door a pretty easy install, for the guy they did it?

Is there anyway you can help me. I’m trying to get info on putting a regular 2 car garage door up. The framing part I need assistance

Take a drink every time this guy says, “uhh..”

Do you get condensation on the inside that drips down from the roof since it is metal?

it's insulated ?

Get off the caulking, man!! Lol Nice garage and narration, good stuff. Any upgrades from when you posted till today 8/30/21?

Hi, liked your garage. The garage opener and door is from the same company ?

Hey Man great video!!!and GO BLUE!But any who what size is your slab you may have said the size but not sure?I just subscribed to your channel thanks for the Great Video

I like it alot.I might get one exactly like yours in the near future.How big did you make your concrete slab?about 6 inches extra to the sides?24 1/2×25 1/2?

Nice. Im about to order the same one. Is the roof Pewter grey too?

@coffey's garage do you not get water under the metal when it rains from rain hitting that cement lift around the edge? I do get some because eagle's advertiser told me that they were recommending to go a ft wider and larger than the building with the slab SMDH.

Did you go with 14 gauge square tubing or 12 gauge

how well does it hol heat

Nice garage! Don't know if it was asked or not but, how much was the door installation?

Do it make it hotter in summer since your roof is black? ( Might be a stupid question) Thanks 🙏🏽
