Have you ever heard of a “Garage In a Box”? Neither had I. We are using the “real” garage (attached the house) as a bladesmith/blacksmith forge and shop/wood shop. It’s almost 700 square feet and felt it was a waste of space to park the truck in. So what was the solution? The Garage in a Box!
It’s 12’ x 20’ x 8’ (3,66 x 6,0 x 2,4 meters) or 240 square feet. Plenty big enough for our truck and eventually an ATV. These are very popular for rural places where you have a lot of land and maybe want to park your tractor or RVs out of the weather but don’t want to build another building.
We got the frame put together today. We’re excited to get the “skin” on it and finish it in the next few days.
We found an excellent, fairly level, spot for it. Not far from the house.
It faces east and west and will resist the weather north and south.
The house looks farther away than it really is - easy access from the road and going around the place. Everything is still easily accessible.
