Garage Designs


APB provides custom garage designs and ready made download-able designs. We engineer each building to provide excellent strength, value, and aesthetic appeal.

Ready-Made garage plans come with materials lists and cut sheets to simplify building, minimize labor, and to aid in material purchasing. Garage kits come with the same plans and cut lists at no additional charge.

Why Build A Pole Barn Garage?

For the best value for your money that's why.
The cheapest garage design method hands down is post frame construction. Here are some reasons.

Site Preparation
Less site work is required for post frame construction than platform framing with a foundation.

Foundation Savings
No expensive footer required around the slab. (Or no slab at all)

Labor Savings
The time required to construct your garage design will be much less compared to other methods of construction.

Less Lumber than conventional framing
Just take a look at the image at the bottom of the page.

Easier and Cheaper to Remodel / Customize Later
The simplicity of these garage designs makes almost any change simple due to wider spans and open areas.

Exceptional Wall Insulation Properties
With posts every 8' or so, there are few thermal breaks. Combine that with the insulation properties of posts and timbers compared to metal and you have a very easy, effective wall insulation system.



Longevity and Strength?

Our garage design method, called post frame construction, is utilized in commercial buildings, for banks, shopping centers, churches, and hundreds of other applications. Like anything else, the building must be constructed properly and the right materials must be used.

UC4B rated foundation posts are not 'treated' like a fence post. The treatment level, and often treatment chemicals are stronger. Posts can also be protected using post protectors. Use the right materials and your foundation will outlast all of us.

The diaphragm design that is obtained using post frame construction, pre-engineered wood trusses, and cladding provide exceptional strength especially when full height gable posts are used. (Image Below)
