I was watching this on my tv on a guest account and I was so impressed that I had to come and comment. I have never seen a creator of your size and the editing skill of a bigger content creator. I don't know how I was recommended your Channel, but I'm glad I was.
@@lancecluster Yeah, it's been a ton of work to get it to this point. And now it's time for all the fussy little details that are going to drag the process out. But I'm excited for the finished product.
Thanks! Yeah, I was on the fence about these until they came out with the Versa Finish option. After having built it, though, I bet it would be cheaper to just get the standard one and add extra 2x4 wall girts.
Great overview of the initial process. Seems very doable, if a bit time consuming for a single individual with only occasional second/third hands. Planning on something similar in a year or two but likely will only do a 12x21 or so. Maybe that size will be easier to manage. Looking forward to how it progresses.
This is the best way to build a garage. I have basically the same setup but with metal exterior. My family builds houses for a living and still we couldn’t come close to the cost savings of a metal building. I actually almost went even cheaper and got a hanger style building, those are super cheap as far as building a garage goes.
I looked at those hangar/quonset hut style buildings too. They're cool but I didn't want to lose that much space on the side walls. I also have a max height restriction with the city, so to make it tall enough for a lift off to the side, the middle was going to be like 20 feet tall.
Hello fellow Oregonian! Just stumbled over this vid. Reminds me of the cold-formed/extruded building I put up a couple years ago; similar size as well. The CF construction process is slightly different in some ways, but the overall process looks to be pretty similar. Gives me a bit of PTSD watching you put in the self tappers! ha Was surprised to see you are going with OSB/T1. I went with metal sheathing, both roof & walls. My building is fully batt insulated so it took some head scratching to determine how to do it, but mine turned out pretty good and no condensation so far. I'm in Central OR tho and in a drier climate (your trees suggest you're in the valley) but even heating/cooling inside doesn't cause issues. Looks good; subscribed and looking forward to your progress.
Yup, I'm right on the Willamette. We have a small garden shed with all metal siding and roof and the condensation is insane in there in the winter. I'm sure I could have used metal siding panels and insulated enough to prevent condensation there, but for the roof I really like the more solid decking that the OSB under the metal provides. I wasn't crazy about walking around up there with just the metal panels.
@@tfrasca142 I honestly was sketched out by the idea of walking around on that thin metal roofing, but honestly once you put a couple of starter screws in, to hold it to the purlins, it's shockingly stout. I had to do a lot of walking around up there and it doesn't even deform as best I can tell... and I'm a fairly large dude, too! It's been engineered to take snow loads so it's going to be a lot stronger than we'd ever imagine using such thin material.
@@tfrasca142 Good question; I had to look this up on my quote. 26G. A few other 'specs' from my supplier's quote in case it's useful to you (I'm not sure what some of it means tho): "20 psf ground snow load, 20 psf min. roof snow load. 120 mph wind speed, exposure ‘C’. 2018 IBC"
@@zippyslug31 Nice. Before I decided to use OSB roof decking, I was going to get 26g, but with the OSB, I was able to order 29g and save a bit on the steel. Are those specs for the roofing material or the frame of the building? Versatube built the frame of mine to the appropriate wind and snow loads, but I didn't think roof material used specs like that. I think my building is 41.4 psf ground snow, 25 psf roof snow, and 124 mph winds. Well over what my area requires.
@@tfrasca142 try to find in your country/city kind a anti-corrosion industrial wax. Few weeks ago I was waxing aluminium football gate for my son. Looks exactly as your garage - join by join block. But I wax all screws and holes.
It's funny that this is considered strange in the states. Kit sheds are the normal thing in Australia from stratco etc. They use c channel extrude and i have a single truss every 2.5m. most builds over there are timber for some reason? Also we love corrugated galvanized sheets in the suburbs. And we use tin roofs with reflective insulation rolls. I don't get why you use wood.
I wouldn’t say it’s strange, but it’s definitely nothing I’ve ever done before. I don’t know why we use so much wood for framing over here. Maybe something to do with the availability of timber? The main reason I’m using wood siding and OSB under the roof is to cut down on condensation, which is a huge issue with metal siding.
Who made up that these are strange in the US? Metal frame out buildings are everywhere near me. The US isn’t a small European monolithic fiefdom as much as people in other countries try to imagine it is. Different areas will have different building methods used. US and Canada have massive timber resources and industries making building with lumber common. The cost of material, speed to build, resistance to condensation, and how easy it is to make alterations vs other construction methods can contribute to its use.
Yeah it would probably be faster. I don’t know for sure, but I bet the VersaTube people would tell you that it’s designed to have some flex in the joints that are screwed. Also, it’s all galvanized so you’d spend a bunch of time grinding it down to clean steel.
Yeah, I wanted to do a wood pole barn, but didn't know where to start for the engineering/permitting process. But sometimes I still wish I'd done that.

Wow, that's cool to hear. Thanks!
@@tfrasca142 but its a fact. true content right here
Have seen ads for these buildings for years. Neat to see one go up. Well done video. Thanks
Same here. I was slowly worn down by the ads and eventually just had to try it.
@@tfrasca142 You certainly made it look easier than I am sure it actually was. Looks like it will work out well for you.

Great video and should make for a fine shop, -subbed to see it through!
@@GrandTouringConcepts thanks!
absolutely my type of content - dream garage :) greetings from Poland !
Great video! You answered my question on how to do one with proper siding rather than roofing on the walls like they are always shown
Thanks! Yeah, I was on the fence about these until they came out with the Versa Finish option. After having built it, though, I bet it would be cheaper to just get the standard one and add extra 2x4 wall girts.
About time… so much room for activities
Scissor lift, plywood leap frog got my like.

Glad it was helpful. A 12x21 should almost be doable solo. Definitely if you get a scissor lift. Have fun with your project.
Bro, thanks so much for making this video. It's incredibly helpful!
This is my kind of content.
I'm so pumped for you!

3:18 - this is was I thought before you said it - and my second idea was industrial WAX something from WURTH company.
@@DonDomel that’s a good idea. So far I’ve been wiping down any small rust spots and spraying WD40 on them for temporary prevention.

Sorry, I could only watch half of this. I'm going to start over and watch this with my wife. Thanks jerk. lol
Great video, production quality is top notch! Just curious though on estimated cost of the project so far
Thanks. So far we’re around 20k, with most of that being the foundation. Trying to budget 30k, but it’s looking like we may go over a bit.
Thank goodness for the ghay AF music.

If a person knew how to run a MIG welder I wonder if that would save any time/weight compared to all those self tappers?

How thick is the slab?
4” with 12x16” footers, rebar grid at 18” OC. And there’s a 6” section where the lift will go.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Judicious use of clamps and blocks? Who says that??
🙋♂
@tfrasca142 I might use it amongst certain people.
I went with a wood post based building.
