FAQ

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 Willie 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.

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

Current delivery time to Willie 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.

Are metal garages a good choice for Georgia?

Metal buildings are utilized throughout Georgia for garages, equipment storage and other residential, agricultural and commercial uses. The important thing is choosing a building appropriate for the project and location. If you're building in Willie, make sure the garage specifications and site plan also meet the local requirements that apply to the property.

What do I need to do to my property before the garage arrives?

First, decide exactly where the garage will go and check the permit and setback requirements with Liberty County Building & Licensing Department (issues permits for unincorporated Liberty County except the City of Hinesville, which has its own Department of Inspections). Then follow the site requirements for the garage you've selected. Any grading, concrete or other preparation should be based on the final building specifications. Don't prepare the site using rough dimensions if the building hasn't been finalized.

How far is Benton Metal Depot from Willie?

Benton Metal Depot's Statesboro location is approximately 19.2 miles from Willie. The company serves residents throughout Liberty, including communities such as Nevils, Southward, Lanier and Letford. Current delivery time for a metal garage to the Willie area is about 1 to 2 weeks.

How close can my metal garage be to the property line?

The current setback in Willie is Not independently pulled from a district-by-district table — Liberty County's Unified Development Ordinance (administered by the LCPC) sets zoning-district dimensional standards including accessory-structure setbacks, but the specific side/rear foot figures need to be pulled from the primary UDO PDF., although you should confirm the requirement for your particular property with Liberty County Building & Licensing Department (issues permits for unincorporated Liberty County except the City of Hinesville, which has its own Department of Inspections). A setback controls how close the building can be to certain property boundaries. Check that distance before you settle on a location, especially when space on the lot is tight.

Can I use my metal garage as a workshop too?

Definitely! Just plan for the workshop before deciding on the garage size. A workbench, toolboxes, shelving and equipment can eat up a lot of floor space, especially when you're also parking a vehicle inside. Make sure to give yourself enough room to work comfortably instead of trying to fit a workshop into whatever space happens to be left over.

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.
