Money Back Guarantee

I offer a 30 day money back guarantee if buy these plans and find that they are not suitable for you.

Just send me an email and I will give you a refund within 2-3 days (the next time I log on).

Build It Yourself or Hire A Contractor

These plans include step by step framing instructions, complete with diagrams and dimensions. All the information you need to build a garage yourself.

These plans are suitable for the first time garage builder with little or no construction experience.

Many homeowners will hire a contractor to do the foundation and floor then frame the garage themselves. Then you might hire a roofer to install the shingles, get the garage door installed but install the other doors and windows and do the painting yourself.

Or you hire a contractor to build the whole garage based on your plans and save their usual design and blueprint fees.

Fully Customizable

These plans are fully customizable by hand with just a pen and ruler. No need to hire an architect or a draftsman to make changes.

You can have any length, width and height and any door and window combination with any roof pitch.

All in one affordable set of blueprints with comprehensive building instructions.

Instant Download

  • PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover
  • You will receive a download link instantly (5-20 seconds) in your e-mail. Download the plans to your hard drive so you will always have them.
  • Plans are in PDF format for printing on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
  • You don't have to decide what size plans to buy because you get all 31 sizes.
  • These plans have been written in great detail specifically for you - the first time shed builder and include access to my youtube library of shed building videos and email support by the 25 year professional shed builder who wrote the plans.

My Personal Guarantee

I personally designed these sheds and garages, created the plans, built and manage this website, and made all of the YouTube videos.

I have been building sheds and garages professionaly since 1989 and have built hundreds of these sheds and garages myself and thousands with the help of my crews. And I have sold tens of thousands of these plans on this website since 2011.

When you send me an email I will personally answer your shed and garage building questions and personally process your refund if you feel my plans are not worth the purchase price.

A word of caution though. I am retired now and spend a lot of time traveling. Sometimes I don't have internet connection and once I had a total computer failure and had to back rush home. (That took two weeks.) So if I'm traveling my response time might not be so prompt.

But otherwise I will do me best to get back to you within 2-3 days.

  3. Instructions to customize the "blank" plans
  4. Blueprints: Typical layout with doors and windows marked
  5. Blueprints: Blank with floor
  6. Blueprints: Blank without floor

1) Notes on materials usage

These notes will help you understand the components of the materials list and cost estimate worksheets.

2) Cost estimate worksheet

Print the cost estimate worksheet of the desired garage size and take it down to your lumber supply store. Fill in the prices to calculate the materials cost for the garage shell. The detailed materials lists shows how the wood is used in each of the 4 walls and the roof structure.

3) Instructions to customize blank plans

Use Table A and Figure 1 and fill in the blanks to make any garage layout you prefer. Write directly on the printed blueprints with a black pen. Make a few extra blank copies in case you make a mistake.

4) Blueprints: Typical Layout

These plans can be used as is if you like the door and window configuration. Or you can use them as a sample guide to mark the blank plans to your satisfaction.

5) Blueprints: Blank with floor

These plans don't include any doors, windows, roof pitch, wall heigh, or dimensions and allow you to draw in any combination, location, and quantity of overhead doors, pass doors, and windows, etc..

Use the Typical layout as a guide to customize this blank blueprint to your specifications.

6) Blueprints: Blank without floor

Standard floor and foundation is a mono-pour concrete slab. But with these blank plans you can provide your own supplemental diagram and build with a wood floor or a stem wall and concrete slab.

Additional notes

  • Building codes
  • Additional engineering
  • Blueprint size and format

Building codes

These blueprints will meet building codes in most cases. But sometimes additional information is required that can usually be hand written on the blueprints with the guidance of your local building department staff.

Most of the time just a few hand written changes or additions is all it takes to make the building department happy. They are usually pretty understanding with homeowners with little or no experience in the building permit process and will tell you exactly what they want in order to approve the plans.

Additional Engineering

If your building department requires engineering for the trusses or custom header, that information is typically built into the price of the trusses or header.

Additional engineering might be required if you live in an area with extreme weather like lots of rain, snow, humidity, wind or seismic activity.

Blueprint size and format

The printed size of the blueprints are 36"x24".

Blueprints are in PDF format so you will have to print them out yourself. You can open them in a standard PDF reader and print them out in 8.5x11 size.

But you will have to go to a print shop to have them printed out in full 36"x24" size. Most print and blueprint shops can do this for about $1-$2 per copy. They can even re-scan them back into PDF format after you have marked them up to your specifications.
