FAQ

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 McIntosh County Building & Zoning Office. 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 long does it take to get a metal garage delivered to Ardick?

Current delivery time to Ardick 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 Ardick 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 close can my metal garage be to the property line?

For reference, the R-1 Single-Family Residential district principal-structure minimums are 10 ft side yard / 15 ft rear yard from the property line, and max lot coverage including accessory buildings is 40% in R-1 / 30% in A-R (Residential Agriculture); accessory-structure-specific setback figures need direct lookup in the 2025 zoning ordinance., although you should confirm the requirement for your particular property with McIntosh County Building & Zoning Office.

Are metal garages a good choice for Georgia?

The important thing is choosing a building appropriate for the project and location. If you're building in Ardick, make sure the garage specifications and site plan also meet the local requirements that apply to the property.

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?
