Large garage or storage building
This two story model can be used for a single car garage, large storage building, or perhaps a workshop. As a garage the Jefferson is designed to accommodate either an 9ft. or 8ft. wide garage door. Garage door is not included which allows the homeowner to purchase the style and color of their choice. If you're considering a workshop or storage building other styles of doors can be installed instead of a garage door. The choice is yours. The 16ft. wide Jefferson provides two floors of unobstructed space without interior walls or supports required. High side walls on the lower level can be insulated if desired. The loft area offers 7ft. 1in. of headroom at center with plenty of room for storage right to the outside walls. Available in 20ft., 24ft., 28ft. and 32ft. lengths the Jefferson offers up to 1,000 sq. ft. of floor space. Choose the size that is appropriate for your particular needs. The included 'L' shaped stair kit can be installed in either of the back corners opposite the garage door. The Jefferson can be built on various foundation types. Cement slab, basement, post and beam wood floors are typical foundation choices. The type you build will be dicated by your requirements and may vary based on local building codes.
