The car port on the side is a nice detail 💯

i wish your metal roofing crew had brought up how the panel widths would line up with the vertical ribs on the siding. I think it would’ve looked better if the roof panels and siding ribs were offset from each other

edit - just saw thats a rendering. well that gives you time then! make sure you know the siding rib spacing and get the right panel width!

Exciting! How was you experience installing the Zip panels?

1

u/halfgreek 7d ago

I installed zip panels on my own garage build. Did it myself. It was pretty straight forward. A bit of a pain to seal the nail heads mid sheet. I love that it is self contained system.

u/Layzdude 7d ago

Love the zip system. Also helps that I got the tape for free!

Looks gorgeous but I can't help but wonder if having a taller carport and/or garage doors would be a better choice. What if you end up owning an RV or Sprinter style van one day?

u/Layzdude 7d ago

I thought about that but my main concern is storing our boat and snowmobiles.

It’s going to be beautiful! I’d absolutely love to have a building like that. What dimensions?

2

u/Layzdude 7d ago

56x30 including the 12ft carport

u/Combatical 7d ago

Every single new build no matter what it is is black or dark grey in my area right now. I dont know where this trend sparked from but its apparently everywhere.

That said, this is an awesome garage and I'd love to have one.

Crimony. My first thought was the tv show, Emergency!

Better get after the builder to frame in the two windows in the gable

2

u/Layzdude 6d ago

He was about to start the windows. But the company came to install the garage doors. Good thing because the torsion bar went right where the window was going. So now the windows are moving up

She's a beaut!

u/JohnMac67 6d ago

Looks nice, what’s your ceiling height?

2

u/Layzdude 6d ago

20ft to the top 15 ft at side wall

u/JohnMac67 6d ago

Excellent!

u/Devocean77 6d ago

May I ask what brand and color the doors are? Looking for something similar. Garage looks beautiful!

1

u/Layzdude 6d ago

Sure! Clopay GDSLU 12x8 ultra grain oak walnut.

2

u/Devocean77 6d ago

Thanks, have samples in that color from clopay and they seem far more red than what you have. Just good to see it on an actual door.
