About Our Process

 

 

IN THE BEGINNING

  • All of our Amish Built Garages begin in our huge production facility in New Holland, PA
  • All garages start out as an engineered stamped blueprint. The blueprints will first have to be approved by your local building inspector.
  • Once approved, the town, county or city in which you live will issue a building permit.

WHATS INCLUDED?

  •    Our standard Amish Built garage includes (3) 30 x36  double pane, insulated glass windows

    with a 6-over -6 lite grid in-between the glass panes

  •     (1)-36  fiberglass, insulated, raised panel entry door with a 9-lite glass and (2) 9 ™wx7 ™h raised panel garage doors or (1) 16 ™ x 7 ™ garage door (your choice).

  •     Our standard siding is a double 4.5  Dutch Lap vinyl siding we use GAF-Timberline, high definition, lifetime architectural shingles.

  •     Our standard engineer roof truss starts with a 4/12 pitch. Window and door locations are your choice as is roof ridge direction with either the gable facing forward or the eave side facing forward.

Upgrading or Designing Your Amish Built Garage

Using our standard original garage to start you can change things to fit your ideas for a dream garage.

HIGHER WALLS

Our standard height is 8 ™ but we can build up to 12 ™ walls (9,10,11 or 12)

 

CHANGING THE TRUSS

You can change the pitch or rise from our standard 4/12 to a 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12, 11/12 or 12/12 pitch. The pitch or rise is how many inches per foot the roof rises. For example an 8/12 pitch truss rises 8  for every 12  (foot) of roof. That would be twice as steep as a 4/12 pitch/rise.
