Post and beam garages are great for those looking for a more affordable type of garage. This two-story post and beam garage features high-quality materials and a durable metal roof for the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience. The best part about this type of garage is the multiple points of access like the sliding barn door, overhead garage doors, and gable vented loft.

Prefab garages are a type of garage commonly built off-site by the builder and get transported to your location for final assembly. There are many differences and benefits to modular barns and garages, but the most notable being their unmatched solid construction and quick building time. If you are looking to get your garage built quickly, prefab and modular are different types of garages to consider.

 

3-Story Garage

Sometimes, bigger is better – and in the case of the Washington, VT grand garage build, that couldn’t be more true! This 3-story garage model features a white pine board, red trim, and a green metal roof for a subtle color scheme; however, you could customize your own garage in any colors you want. It goes without saying, a 3-story garage has MORE than enough room for all your storage needs!

 

Garage with Lean-to

With a look similar to a center aisle barn, garages with enclosed overhangs are a popular choice for property owners with a need for several garage bays. Whereas other different types of garages may accommodate most tools, this style is designed with vehicle or power equipment storage in mind.

 

Pitch Roof Garage
