Uses for Your Shed Plans With a Garage Door

A garage shed plan is simply a shed with a garage door. Building a shed with a garage door has several benefits. The most obvious is the ability to easily move large equipment in and out of the storage shed. Our shed garage plans are designed with a 8' wide and 7' tall garage door which allows plenty of room to drive large equipment like 4 wheelers and golf carts through the shed garage door. If you plan on using your shed with a garage door as a work shop the shed garage door will open the wall of your shed to the area in front of the shed, creating an expanded work area and using the shed as a large tool box. The shed garage door makes it easy to move a table saw out onto the driveway so you can make large cuts without hitting shed walls.

The shed floor can be built by using a framed floor or a concrete floor. The floor framing plans include details showing how to build the shed floor using 2x6 lumber laid flat, just like building a deck. This shed floor construction is strong enough to hold most rolling equipment. You can also install 3/4" O.S.B. sheeting over the floor joists to create a typical framed floor. If you want an extra strong shed floor you may consider building the shed on a concrete slab. The shed plans include drawings showing where to place the anchor bolts to attach the shed walls to the concrete.

Shed Garage Door Types

Our large shed plans are drawn with the typical 4 panel overhead shed door in mind. This is the same door that is installed on residential home garages. It slides up and out of the way, storing itself on its tracks parallel to and just under the garage ceiling. The benefit of a panel garage door is that it can be insulated if you plan on heating your large shed and it can also be used with an automatic garage door opener. The second type of shed garage door is the roll up and coiling door. It rolls up into a coil just above the shed garage door opening. The benefits associated with the coil roll up shed garage door is that it takes up little space on the shed ceiling. So if you need to hang things from the ceiling it may be the best shed garage door solution.
