How To Build a Garage

Buy the Materials

Schedule a trip to the building supplies store to purchase the materials that you will need to complete the job. You will also need to stop by a business that offers garage door sales Denton TX to choose the one that you want for your home. Be sure that it coordinates well with the exterior of your house. Schedule delivery of all the items before the day you want to work or determine when you can pick them up. This is also a good time to apply for the permits that you will require to continue.

Decide On a Location

Before your materials arrive, determine where you want your garage to be. Decide on the size you wish to build, then measure its dimensions as it compares to the property line. It must fit well in your yard with little of it intruding on your neighbors. Check the land to see if it is flat enough. A sloped landscape means that you will have to bring in the dirt to level it out before you begin laying the foundation. Trace out where you hope the walls will go.

Lay the Foundation

Build a template for your footers out of wood then bury them into the ground. Pour the concrete into them then let them sit until they are dried and cured. Set up a frame that mirrors the layout of your garage. Embed the metal rods into the space then pour the cement for your foundation. Once it is ready, you can begin the construction of the frame.
