FAQ

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

Current delivery time to Huxford 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 Huxford 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.

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.

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 I put a metal garage beside my house?

You may be able to, but don't assume every open spot on the property is buildable. McIntosh County Building & Zoning Office has requirements that can affect garage placement, including a current setback of Not confirmed for accessory structures specifically. 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.. Check the rules for your address before choosing the location, particularly if you're working with limited room between the house and property line.

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.

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

The current setback in Huxford is Not confirmed for accessory structures specifically. 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. 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.
