Is it easy to customize the garage plans?

It's very easy to customize these plans because they were designed for that. The plans are "blank" so you can fill in:
  • Length, width, wall height
  • Roof pitch, direction of trusses
  • Overhead door, pass door, & window size, location, & quantity
Everything you want is simply penciled in. The plans include 4 basic "shapes": long & skinny, square, small rectangle, large rectangle. You choose the base shape to fit the approximate shape of the one you want to build and pencil in your features.

The plans can also be modified to attach to an existing house or other structure. The last image shows a garage with 10ft wall height to accommodate an 8ft tall garage door. All from the same set of plans.

These are the same "blank" plans that I have used in my brick and mortar shed and garage building business for the past 25 years.

Use the 24x40 plans because they are the closest in shape, a long rectangle. Then fill in your dimensions, doors, windows, roof pitch, wall height, etc and you will have 30x40 plans for your permit.
