What is a Car Shed?
A car shed (or garage shed) is a standalone structure used to house cars, trucks, ATVs, or other vehicles. But today’s car sheds are more than just parking spaces — they’re fully functional outbuildings that can double as workshops, storage centers, or hobby rooms.
At DuraStor Structures, our car sheds are designed with form and function in mind. Every garage shed we build reflects our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, custom design, and long-lasting materials.
Why Choose a Garage Shed Over a Traditional Garage?
A traditional attached garage can be costly and involve extensive renovations. In contrast, a garage shed:
- Offers flexibility in placement
- Costs less to install
- Avoids disruptions to your home
- Can be delivered and installed quickly
- Increases your property’s value
Plus, you can design your garage shed to match your home or reflect your personal style.
Key Features of a Quality Car Shed
1. Sturdy Framing and Flooring
We build our garage sheds with 4×6 pressure-treated skids and a 2×6 floor joist system to ensure strength and stability. Our flooring is designed to support the weight of your vehicle while resisting warping and moisture damage.
2. High-Quality Siding and Roofing
Choose from LP SmartSide or metal siding — both durable and low-maintenance. Roofing options include asphalt shingles or metal roofing for maximum protection and a sleek look.
3. Overhead Doors and Entry Options
We include a standard overhead garage door and offer optional walk-in doors, windows, and side-entry designs. Whether you want a roll-up or classic carriage-style door, we’ve got you covered.
4. Ventilation and Interior Options
Keep your space fresh and dry with gable vents, ridge vents, or even powered ventilation. Interior customization includes insulation, electrical, shelving, and more.
5. Security and Weather Protection
Heavy-duty locks, reinforced framing, and weather-resistant finishes come standard. Your valuable assets are protected in every season.
Car Shed Dimensions: What Size Do You Need?
Choosing the right shed size depends on your vehicle and how you plan to use the space. Here’s a guide to popular dimensions:
- 12×20 ft – Great for compact cars and some storage
- 12×24 ft – A little extra length for tools, shelves, or gear
- 14×24 ft – A comfortable fit for full-size trucks or SUVs
- 16×28 ft+ – Spacious enough for two vehicles, or a mix of storage and workspace
Our team can help you assess your space and customize your design accordingly.
