FAQ

How long does it take to get a metal garage delivered to Fort Mudge?

Current delivery time to Fort Mudge is approximately 1 to 2 weeks. If your project also involves permitting, grading or concrete, don't wait to do those jobs until the garage is almost ready. Use the delivery window to get the property prepared, and base your schedule on the estimate given for your order.

Should I pour the concrete before ordering the garage?

Get the garage specifications nailed down first. You want to know the correct dimensions and make sure the planned location meets the rules for Fort Mudge before putting permanent concrete in the ground. It's much easier to adjust a garage plan on paper than to deal with a slab that was poured in the wrong place or at the wrong size.

What can I keep in a metal garage?

Cars and trucks are obvious, but metal garages can also hold lawn equipment, tools, recreational gear and general storage. Larger buildings can leave room for work areas, too. Make a list of what you intend to keep inside before choosing the building size. It's easy to underestimate how quickly floor space disappears.

Can my metal garage have windows and different doors?

The available configuration depends on the garage package, but doors and windows should be considered while you're planning the layout. Think about where vehicles will enter, where you want a regular walk door and whether natural light is needed inside. Making those decisions early helps you choose a layout that works instead of adding features wherever they'll fit.

How much extra room should I allow around my vehicles?

Don't measure a car and make the garage barely wider than the vehicle. You need enough room to open the doors, get in and out, walk around it and reach anything stored nearby. With two vehicles, remember the space between them too. Adding a little breathing room during planning can make a big difference once you use the garage every day.

Can I put a metal garage beside my house?

Brantley County Planning & Building Department has requirements that can affect garage placement, including a current setback of Per the Brantley County Land Use Ordinance (adopted 9/8/2016), accessory buildings/uses on non-residential lots must comply with the same front/side/rear yard requirements as the principal Land Use district in which they sit; specific footage figures by district were not retrieved from available excerpts..
