The 1x16 Dotty’s Garage is a spacious 1 door garage, perfect for anyone who needs a sizable area to fit machinery or a large vehicle. With a workshop space in the back, there is plenty of room for all kinds of tools and equipment, while also providing a wide garage door to bring in anything that would not fit in a normal sized opening.
This garage is a good choice if you are looking for a confidence‑building project that results in a useful working structure. If you need a space for mechanical work, a place to park a couple of cars/pick-ups, or want to try your hand with a small construction project, this garage provides is the sort of solution you need.
We provide complete architectural plans (which includes Florida PE-stamped structural plans for Florida projects) for a 24'x24' garage/workshop with 10' tall walls and a 16' wide garage door, engineered for the conditions at your site. (Apart from the door, it is the same as Dotty's Garage - 2 Door.) Our plans are optimized for straight-forward, low-cost wood-frame construction. Everything you need you should be able to find at your local building-supply store.
This 24’x24’ garage plan is a 6 out of 10 on the Mended Oak Difficulty Scale. The plans are for a two-car garage. The structure features four walls and a roof with a 16' garage door up front and a side entrance. The conventionally framed roof and garage door make it a little tricky. If you are handy but have never taken on a construction project before, you'll want a friend with some experience working beside you - or you may just want to sub out the roof and the garage door installation.
Beyond that it's straight forward. A motivated two-person crew with some skill and motivation can complete this project over a series of weekends. It’s an excellent way to discover your capabilities, build confidence, and teach trades to the next generation. It will also add a very practical, usable space to your property. If you have plans to build a house, this is an excellent structure to put up first for staging.
Upon completion, you will have conventionally framed the roof and created spaces with a vaulted and flat ceiling (although an open ceiling is also an option.) Additionally, you will have constructed balloon-framed raked walls alongside traditional platform-framed walls and installed windows and doors.
Note: Unless you have installed garage doors before, we strongly recommend having it installed by a professional. Improperly loading a garage door spring can result in serious injury, broken bones, or death.

Need to Customize? Want to add a covered porch on the back, prep the slab for a lift, or change the exterior finish? Contact us. We can work with you to deliver the garage you need. Custom rates start at $1 per square foot.
Subnote: Truss Plans are purchased separately from a truss manufacturer and aren't part of the plan-set price. If you'd like to use trusses, we recommend getting three quotes. (Florida Only: After you pick the one you prefer, we'll give them the design information they need, review their engineered truss package for your home, and update your plans so everything fits together smoothly. Selecting the truss option typically delays delivery by four to six weeks).
