Need to store a car but don’t have much space on your property? JCS’s standard garage model has a small footprint, perfect for one small vehicle or all the equipment that is cluttering your yard and house. A pressure treated sill plate makes it ready to install on a concrete slab.
The Garage is a small, yet roomy, storage space for small vehicles, snowmobiles, and landscaping equipment. The compact size makes it compatible for most properties in need of garage space. Since it sits on a pressure treated sill plate, a concrete slab will be the best foundation. An overhead garage door, along with a single side entrance, makes this building very accessible. The frame is built with our classic rough sawn hemlock post and beam lumber. Then, the building is finished off with pine board and batten siding and topped with a corrugated metal roof in Evergreen. If you want something a little different, numerous siding and roofing options will allow you to personalize the building.

• Complete Shell Kit – With this package you get everything needed to set up an uninsulated garage. Floor system, wall and roof framing, siding, a metal roof, and a double door come with this package. The shell makes a wonderful backyard storage shed, livestock barn or spacious workshop. Kits may be shipped anywhere in the Continental United States and parts of Eastern Canada.
• Assembled Shell – These garages may be purchased fully assembled if your site is accessible and located up to 300 miles from our factory in South Londonderry, Vermont.
Customize
Each type of building comes with default options that match our specifications. However, if you want to personalize your building, we have made that process a breeze. As you go through each step, you’ll be able to pick and choose which options you want.
• Strengthen – Our post and beam Garage was designed with New England weather conditions in mind. But that doesn’t mean you can’t strengthen it even more. Consider ordering a treated floor system if you are using the building to store a lot of stuff, especially if it will be placed in a damp location. The floor joists and roof rafters can have their weight rating increased by upgrading from 24” on center to 16” on center placements. Termite shields and shed anchors will provide additional protection too.
• Personalize – Enhance the look of your Garage by choosing a different siding, roofing, or floor decking. We offer a variety of pine and cedar siding choices. Roofing material comes in a variety of corrugated metal colors, The flooring can be upgraded to tongue and groove. One of the best looking Garages we have seen was one that was upgraded to have Western Red Cedar Clapboard siding. The customer added two hinged barn sash windows and included flower boxes. Then, to give the building even more flair, they installed one of our colorful glass roundels, hand-blown in Vermont, above the overhead garage door. We had no idea that a rugged garage could look so cute!
• Add-Ons – A premium trim package creates a polished look to the garage roof. Enclosure strips to close up the gaps in the metal roofing rib pattern are included in the premium trim package. Use an overhang kit to create extra outdoor shelter for shade when working, or as storage for firewood or bicycles. Since the design of this building is fairly basic a 4’x8′ decorative cupola can provide architectural interest to the overall look. Top it off with a fun weathervane, available in many styles.
