Custom RV Garage and Workshop

For do-it-yourselfers who want to add extra storage space or just want to protect their car from the elements, BigHammer Software’s Garage Designer is the tool to use. Garage Designer uses a grid system that allows you to precisely create the exact size building you need by clicking and dragging. It is so precise that you can size your building to the inch.

Design your dream garage, workshop or storage barn. Then, click and drag it to the exact size you need. Choose a wall height from as low as 4′ up to 16′ to accommodate RVs and other large vehicles. Then, choose between several types of entry doors and garage doors.

After you’re happy with the design, Garage Designer provides all the information you need to transform your garage, barn or workshop plan into reality. You can see your building in a variety of ways, including 3D, plan, and dimensioned front, back & side views. Then, you can print your custom plans and have them at hand throughout your building project.

You can also print a complete material shopping list. You’ll know all your material quantities immediately so you can get accurate prices before you start to build. Garage Designer assures that you’ll never be caught running back to the lumber yard for forgotten supplies. Instead, you’ll be efficiently constructing your ideal, do-it-yourself garage. Your personal shopping list will help you buy everything you need the first time, right down to the nail.

The inexpensive, downloadable program comes with a free, full color garage building guide book that will take you step-by-step through the construction process.

Chandler Design Build's Carport and Workshop

Chandler Design Build's Carport and Workshop

Chandler Design Build, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, offers free downloadable design drawings for a beautiful and practical pole-frame carport. It has parking for two vehicles under a wide roof. A 12′x20′ enclosed project room opens from the carport. That space is perfect for your use as a workshop, garden shed, backyard studio or storage room. A small loft adds a high-and-dry spot for more storage.

Carports are inexpensive buildings - usually just a roof on posts. Unfortunately, they usually look inexpensive too. They’re great for sheltering cars, trucks, ATVs, trailers and boats, but not usually great for adding value or “curb appeal,” to a home. This design is different. The graceful hip-style roof and the added project room make it look like the substantial and valuable structure that it really is.

Chandler Design Build is an award-winning, green-oriented residential building company. Their homes and outbuildings reflect the talents of designer Beth Williams, builder Michael Chandler and a group of dedicated craftsmen. Visit their website, www.ChandlerDesignBuild.com to see their portfolio of completed projects.

The free, downloadable carport/workshop design drawings are available here >>>
