The Garage: Single-Bay Garage Sheds Built On Site

About the Garage

The Garage is a single-bay building from our gable line. It has a wide roll-up door on the front gable end and a standard entry door on the side, so you can drive a vehicle straight in or walk in without lifting the big door. The gable roof has deeper 12-inch eaves and an architectural shingle or Tuff Rib metal finish. From the street it reads like a small detached garage, not a storage box.

It suits the things that are too big or too valuable to leave outside. People use the Garage for a daily-driver car, a side-by-side or two, a boat or jet ski on a trailer, a golf cart, a riding mower, or a mix of equipment and tools. The roll-up door clears most small vehicles and trailers, and the floor depth gives you room for a workbench or shelving along one wall behind whatever you park.

The single roll-up door is the feature that defines this model. It rolls straight up and out of the way, so you keep full ceiling height and full door width with nothing swinging into the driveway. The side entry door means you are not raising the roll-up every time you need one tool, which matters in a wet North Idaho winter. You choose the door sizes, the window package, and where the side door lands in the online builder.

Every Garage is framed and finished on your property, never delivered as a prefab box. Walls are 2x4 studs at 16 inches on center, and the roof is framed and decked to carry real North Idaho snow load. The floor system uses 2x6 joists at 16 inches on center over pressure-treated 4x4 skids, with an OSB subfloor and a plywood upgrade available. Siding starts with primed T1-11, with thicker T1-11 and premium siding options, so the building holds up to wind, snow, and freeze-thaw across Kootenai, Bonner, Boundary, Shoshone, and Benewah counties.

Sizes run from compact single-bay footprints up to long, deep bays for a vehicle plus storage, commonly in the 12-by-20 to 14-by-32 range. You set the width and depth, wall height, roll-up and entry door sizes, window count, siding, roof color, and floor in the 3D builder, then NIOS prices the on-site build. For storage-grade use the shed floor works well; for a daily vehicle a customer slab is the better base, and the builder lets you plan for either.

Because we build on site, the Garage fits lots a delivered building cannot reach. Narrow driveways, treed lots, sloped ground, and tight gaps between a fence and a property line are all workable when the building is framed in place. You pick the size and openings that fit your driveway and the way you load it, and we frame it on the spot.
