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 Barnwell County Building Inspector & Zoning. 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 Owens Crossroad?

Current delivery time to Owens Crossroad 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 Owens Crossroad before putting permanent concrete in the ground.

Can I put a metal garage beside my house?

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.
