I really like your building. I had mine put up in November. One thing you did that I did not was stub up your plumbing. I was gone on vacation when my floor was done and i did not get the chance to get that done but those buildings make a great workshop. Congrats!
I’m considering similar. At the begisnning planning stage. Your vid helped me immensely with ideas and things to incorporate into my project that I hadn’t thought of (floor drain, outdoor concrete stoop for man door) and I also appreciated seeing the size to put it into perspective. Thank you!! I know it slows ya down to stop and do recordings. I’m subscribing and looking forward to other vids on this building.
Wish company’s would make small metal sheds and garages out of this material the sheet metal looks solid and thick on this but the ones I seen over here in the uk they are thin and flimsy I mean just knock on them like you would a door an it makes a proper horrible racket they dent easy and bend too easy but this beast just looks so solid made to last for years and doesn’t look like it would damage too easy either I really like this looks proper high quality
I’m getting ready to purchase a building and I like that you added your own windows. Can you provide any information on what type of window to get ( nail flange or no )and how did you attach it?
I am a new subscriber to your Channel, man that shop looks good. I live in Mississippi and I'm thinking about building the same size building thanks for the information.
You indicated in the comments that you insulated the walls (possibly the roof also)... what about the overhead doors ? You have basically one complete wall that is a cold wall. Do they make insulated roll up doors ??? Asking because I plan on having a shop built but was concerned about heat loss through an un-insulated overhead door. Thanks.
What’s the height on the building and what size garage door. Really like the setup you have. I’m also in New England so I’ll be contacting that company you used.
Can you tell me more about the plumbing for the bathroom. I'm considering thing the same, but I'm not sure about venting the drain. Are you going to do a sink too?
I basically just did a sink. I put the 4" pvc under the slab so that I can possibly put a toilet in at some point. If I did that I would just build a floor to raise the level then venting would be no issue. Plenty of room for piping. I'm not hooking it up yet because it would require a sewage pump outside. Just too much money. I did put a sink in and setup a holding tank for water. I'll try to post a video of it soon. Be sure to subscribe so u see it!
Looks great! What colors did you go with? I’m in ct as well and have a building ordered. My town made me do footings and frost wall because of the eave height (12’)
It's the 2 grey shades they offer. Darker on the bottom. I'm in Stafford Springs they were fine with my monolithic slab. They said whatever the building manufacturer recommends. So that's what I did. What town are you in?
How do you determine the size of the concrete slab for the building? And what about the summer in terms of heat inside the garage? Can you have roof vents with a metal building/roof?
@@johnmorneault7888 did the installers have to modify anything to fit the slab? Every company I talked with told me to make the slab at least a couple inches bigger just in case
@@sam3dy it fit fine the only problem they had was it dipped down a little bit in some areas. Problem with going bigger is when it rains the water from the walls runs through because it hits the exposed cement. I would be sure to seal it with something.
@@sam3dy frame is 2 1/4" and I added a 1" furring strip and 3/4 plywood. So I went in from the edge of the slab about 5-6" to give myself some wiggle room. Then when I piped the inside I just made offsets to get it to the wall.
Nice building. How much was the "kit" ? How much was the assembly costs ? How much for the concrete pad? Thank you for sharing your build experience. How thick is the sheet metal skin? Take care
12 ft walls. I'm using 2 in polyiso foam board on the walls and 2 1/2 in on the ceiling. I will post a video soon of how I'm doing it. Been busy so progress is slow. Please subscribe so you can see it when I post it.
Slab was about 5k site work was about 2k and building itself installed was about 13k. Insulation about 1k. So I'm around 21k. The rest of the materials I collected from job sites or had kicking around. Place is called EB carports out of newington ct. www.ebcarports.com/
@@johnmorneault7888 Thanks for quick reply. Love your building...I am doing a 24 x 24 and want two 10 x 10 doors; not sure if that will work w/24w, but I'll ask. I can't see doing anything with less clearance for future possibilities. May have to opt for one narrower, or opt for 3rd party single extra-wide door 10' tall.
Damb they jacked that price up. That slab shouldn't have costed more than $2,000 and that Building shouldn't have been more than $10,000 including installation and site prep. Looks good but dang that's too much.
All relative to where u live. I went over board with the slab too. 20 yards of concrete. That's $4200 in concrete alone. Building was more because its rated for snow load. Heavier gauge steel framing and framed 4 ft on center. Site work was 2k because we took out almost 2 ft of organic matter out and filled in with 2 loads of process gravel at $400 a load. Here in ct things aren't cheap. Just the way it is.
@@johnmorneault7888 You know what. I just don't think I would reply to these guys that are basically saying you got ripped off. Just don't bother. I had a metal building built here in Florida, 25X30 with an additional 12 foot slab along the 30 foot side for a porch area (or lean to). Sitework, slab, building, permits.....about 21K.
befmx31 I agree! My building slab (but 22’ wide) was $5k with 12” footers, rebar, remesh and $114/ yd. concrete. I also added a 9x22 poured ramp into my garage. The 20 yards of concrete alone was half of the cost and crew still had to grade, form, reinforce and finish the concrete. People don’t work for free especially when they are good. You get what you pay for!
Wow your building looks great. Thank you for sharing

Looks great. I'd love something like this.
Yeah I agree. Would love to change the windows.
Very nice!!!
Thanks man! Subscribe! more projects coming!
Glade to come across this video for I just ordered a 24x36x10 from EB
Really nice but I recommend always putting a stem wall to keep the building up above grade a bit.

Hey man dig the video. I’m in the market for a steel garage in CT. What did that size cost minus the site work? (Concrete) it looks awesome !
What’s the height on the building and what size garage door. Really like the setup you have. I’m also in New England so I’ll be contacting that company you used.
It appears tall enough for a lift, that would be fantastic and they are cheap enough to to buy and easy to install..
Yup that's the plan! I did a section of the floor thicker when we did the pour.
@@johnmorneault7888 cool..
What size were your taller windows looks good !
Did they install your walk in door backward?
How's the building holding up? Does any rain get in with the garage doors?
John and wondering how the structure is holding up? Considering doing it, live in West Hartford so I’m in your neck of the woods

John Morneault , I’m in Wethersfield. I like the look. Wish they let me do that for the foundation... killing me for something cheap
Ya seriously that's kinda stupid.
Do you know what the wind rating is for this type of shop? Looks nice!
Hmmm. I dont remember but I know it met all local codes. I may still have the generic blue prints they gave me. I'll check.
great looking building, what size tubing is the frame and what is eve height? good vid THANX
The tubing is 12 gauge 2 1/4 thick. 12 ft walls so peak is around 16 ft.
@@johnmorneault7888 thanks, I was guessing it was 2" sq
Looks great.
But why is the siding run horizontal? Every junction (windows, corners) has gaps.
Vertical wouldn’t. js
Thats just the way they side them. Framing runs vertical.
John Morneault
I’ve seen some run vertical. Much better. Just have to seal the tops. js
@@makapalatrace8385 I am in Florida and just a metal building built. Siding is horizontal on mine also.
Could you please tell me what kind of windows you have. I want to buy myself some. I don't like the windows they supply either.
How do you determine the size of the concrete slab for the building? And what about the summer in terms of heat inside the garage? Can you have roof vents with a metal building/roof?
Slab is the exact size of the building. Not sure about summer. Just finished it a few months ago. You could put vents at the ends.
@@johnmorneault7888 did the installers have to modify anything to fit the slab? Every company I talked with told me to make the slab at least a couple inches bigger just in case

@@johnmorneault7888 thanks for response. How many inches in did you put the conduit to avoid the frame?

What is the snow load rating of structure/ roof?
Had to find the engineered plans. 65 psf
Great looking shop. Did you mention the company you got it from?
EB carports out of newington CT. Most of these are a out the same. I think you get a better deal dealing with someone local
@@johnmorneault7888 thanks.
They did a phenomenal job. Thanks for the info.
How tall is the building?
Does self screwing column make corrosion or does it reduce the strength to carry load
I dont understand your question. What column?
The self sealing columns are corrosion proof & rated to 6000 kilos. No reduction in strength, 50 year warranty.
How much it costs??
Safely figure 35.00/square foot including doing some of the work yourself at today's prices.
What is the length of the side walls
26' long 12' high
Nice building. How much was the "kit" ? How much was the assembly costs ? How much for the concrete pad?
Thank you for sharing your build experience. How thick is the sheet metal skin?
Take care
Kit was 13k installed. With doors. Windows I bought. Pad was about 5k and site work was about 2k. Not sure about the sheet metal.
Thanks for watching!
@@johnmorneault7888 that's in line with what my building and sitework cost.
How tall did you go?
What about sweating on metal on inside
Should be fine with all that insulation I put up.
Can I ask about the cost of a unit like this
Go through my comments. I broke it down for someone
But the building itself installed with doors. No slab. Was 13k
How much cost
I've got about 20K into it.
How tall...?....Insulation....?
12 ft walls. I'm using 2 in polyiso foam board on the walls and 2 1/2 in on the ceiling. I will post a video soon of how I'm doing it. Been busy so progress is slow. Please subscribe so you can see it when I post it.
What was the total cost just for building? if you dont mind me asking and where did you buy it from maybe you can post up there phone number
Slab was about 5k site work was about 2k and building itself installed was about 13k. Insulation about 1k. So I'm around 21k. The rest of the materials I collected from job sites or had kicking around. Place is called EB carports out of newington ct. www.ebcarports.com/
How high is the ceiling?
12 ft walls so the center is about 14 ft.
How much for the whole thing
I've got about 24k in it as it sits now. Look through the comments I pretty sure I broke it down for some on here.
Be sure to subscribe!
I'll try to post a video going over everything soon
OH door sizes?
10x10
