Isaac’s Garage is a practical, confidence‑building project that results in a useful and modern structure.

Isaac’s Garage

About the Plan: This 16’x24’ garage plan is one of the easiest to construct that you will find (Mended Oak Scale 2 out of 10). The plans are for a one-car garage with a porch on the side. The structure features four walls and a roof, with a sloped-roof porch along one side. If you are handy but have never taken on a construction project before, this is a great model to start with. A motivated two-person crew with a little 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, while also adding a practical, usable space to your property. Upon completion, you will have conventionally framed the roof and created spaces with a vaulted ceiling, though an open ceiling is also an option. Additionally, you will construct balloon-framed rake walls alongside traditional platform-framed walls and install windows and doors. Note: We strongly recommend having garage doors installed by a professional. Attempting to load a garage door spring improperly can result in serious injury or death.

About the Finished Product: When the project is complete, you will have 384 square feet of enclosed space and 240 square feet of porch area. This is an excellent solution for adding a modern-looking storage shed, workshop, or garage to your property. The structure also serves well as staging and storage for a larger build in the future.
