Pole barn garages and workshops with room for everything.

Bays for the trucks, a bench for the projects, and the height for a lift or a camper, built to fit your lot.

More garage than you can buy off a lot.

For a lot of people the attached garage filled up years ago. A detached pole barn garage gives you the room that a house garage never will: wide bays, tall doors, a clear floor and space along the walls for the workbench, the tools and the things that don’t have a home anywhere else.

Because the posts carry the roof, the walls don’t need to, so there are no columns standing in the middle of the floor. That clear span is what lets you park a truck and still open the doors, swing a long board, or come back later and add a lift.

What a garage turns into.

Two to four-bay garages
Parking for every vehicle, with doors sized for the trucks you drive and the ones you might drive next.
Workshops
A bench, power where you need it, and room to work around a project instead of over it.
Tall bays
Extra wall height and a tall door for a lift, a camper, a boat or a work truck with a ladder rack.
Loft storage
An upper floor or open loft for seasonal gear, so the floor stays clear for working and parking.
Garage with office
An enclosed, finished room inside the building for a desk, records or a quiet place to step away.
Lean-to and porch
A covered side for the mower, firewood or the trailer, or a porch to sit on when the work’s done.

Sizing and planning a garage.

Size it for the vehicles and the work

Measure what you’ll park, with the doors open and room to walk around it, then add the bench, the tool storage and the lawn equipment. A building that is only big enough for today’s vehicles tends to feel tight within a year. If you plan to add a lift, a loft or a camper bay, the wall height needs to be decided up front.

Doors set the layout

Overhead doors come in many widths and heights, and their placement decides where everything else goes. Think about how you’ll pull in and back out, where the driveway meets the building, and whether you want a second door at the back for drive-through access. A walk door near the house saves a lot of steps.

Laying out a pole barn shop

A shop works best when the work flows in a line: the big door and the clear floor at one end, the bench and the tools along a wall where the light is good, and storage overhead or in a loft so it isn’t underfoot. Put the bench near a walk door and a window, keep a clear path to the overhead door for long material, and plan outlets every few feet along the bench wall.

Concrete, power and comfort

Most garages get a concrete floor, and many shops want electric service, lighting, insulation and a way to heat or cool the space. Plan those with the building so the walls, ceiling and floor are ready for them rather than retrofitted later.

Permits and your lot

A detached garage on a residential lot almost always needs a building permit, and the county or town sets how close it can sit to property lines, how tall it can be and whether it can be larger than your house. Some neighborhoods also have covenants about building materials. We check the rules for your address and manage the permit for you. For the county-by-county details, read our permit guides for Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Three easy steps.

One team handles the drawings, the permits and the build, and keeps you posted the whole way.

How it works

Step 1: Quote & contract
Tell us what you need. Our designers put together drawings and an organized, easy-to-read quote, then work through the details with you until the building is yours.
Step 2: Permits
We manage the permits for you, wherever you live. Homes usually take 3 to 5 months to permit, depending on the county. Garages and farm buildings move faster.
Step 3: Construction
Our crews build it and our project managers keep you posted every step of the way. Final payment comes after the county’s final inspection.

Questions we hear about this.

Still wondering about something? Call us at 302-399-4420.

Do I need a permit for a pole barn garage?

In most of Delaware and Maryland, yes. Detached garages need a building permit and have to meet the county or town’s setback and height rules. We find out what your property requires and handle the permit.

Can you build a garage with living space or an office?

Yes. We can enclose and finish rooms inside a garage. Living space is held to the residential building code, which changes the drawings and the permit, so tell us at the start.

How tall should the doors and walls be?

It depends on what goes inside. Pickups and SUVs fit standard doors, while a lift, a camper or a boat on a trailer needs taller walls and a taller door. We size them to what you’ll park.

Can I design my garage myself first?

Yes. Our online 3D designer lets you set the size, roof pitch, doors and windows in your browser and send it to us as a quote request.
