Construction Details
Below are the details of our portable garage shed package, featuring only the finest quality materials sourced from Old Hickory Buildings of Canada.
Garage Framing: Engineered 2×4 studs are spaced every 16” on centre. We double the wall studs wherever our siding has a seam, so that both sections of siding will have a full stud width to be fastened to. Exterior walls are sheeted with Premium LP Smart Panel Siding, then painted with high quality paint designed especially for the outdoor shed industry.
Garage Roofing: Rafters are spaced every 24”. The roof is then sheeted with OSB roof sheeting and then sheeted with 30-year 29 gauge high quality metal roofing or residential grade architectural shingles.
Engineered Flooring: Garage Shed flooring construction includes 4’x6’ pressure treated skids that are notched at 12” on centre to ensure consistent floor joist spacing. Recessing and toenailing the joists in the notches lock them in place ensuring the shed can be loaded, unloaded, and moved repeatedly without any warping of the floor system.
The diamond-plate door threshold cap creates a solid step that can handle constant abuse form foot traffic and equipment wheels. It prevents wear and tear on the exposed edges of the floor decking at the entrance of the garage, ensuring years of use without cracking, splintering or delaminating.

What is a Portable Garage Package?
A portable garage package or garage kits, includes all the pre-cut building materials needed to build a single or double detached garage—walls, vinyl siding, roof, overhead door, windows, hardware, and sometimes foundation materials. It’s a convenient way to streamline a new garage construction.
What Sizes Do They Come In?
Portable garage packages come in various sizes and styles, from 10’x10′ up to 16’x40′. Whether you need basic storage or extra space for a workshop, we offer customizable options to suit your needs—including materials, colours, and accessories.
What Additional Things can you Do with a Portable Garage?
A garage is usually meant for parking, but it offers several options beyond that. Use your new portable garage for outdoor storage, convert it into extra living space like a garden suite or man cave, or add features like heated flooring, a smart garage door opener, tool storage, or even a parking pad. It’s a reliable shelter that offers so much more, and with it being heavy duty and weather resistance, it’s a great addition to store things year round.
Is it Cheaper to Build a Garage or Purchase Garage Kits?
Is It Cheaper to Purchase a Portable Garage Shed or Build a Garage from Scratch?
Portable garage sheds are often more affordable and far more convenient than buying garage kits and building a garage from scratch—especially when you factor in the cost of labour, permits, and construction time.

Portable Garage Shed vs. Building Custom Garages
Our portable garage sheds are built with heavy duty materials and come fully assembled for quick installation.

Is a Portable Garage Shed Big Enough to Fit a Car or Truck?
When selecting a portable garage shed size to accommodate a car, it’s important to consider not only the dimensions of the vehicle but also additional space for maneuvering, opening doors, and storage. Here are some recommended portable garage shed sizes to fit a car:
- Single Car Portable Garage Shed:
- Dimensions: Approximately 12′ x 20′ or 14′ x 24′
- This size provides enough space for a standard-sized car and allows some additional room for storage or movement.
- Standard Two-Car Portable Garage Shed:
- Dimensions: Approximately 20′ x 20′ or 22′ x 24′
- This size comfortably accommodates two standard-sized cars side by side and includes space for opening doors and moving around the vehicles.
Truck-Sized Portable Garage Shed:
When selecting a portable garage shed to fit a truck, it’s important to account for the vehicle’s overall length, height, and door clearance, especially for full-size or lifted trucks. In addition to parking space, extra room is recommended for opening doors, accessing the truck bed, and storing tools or equipment.
Recommended Dimensions:
-
Single Truck Garage: Approximately 14′ x 24′ or 16′ x 30′
These sizes provide sufficient clearance for most full-size pickup trucks while allowing space for maneuvering and light storage. -
Extended or Crew Cab Trucks: Approximately 16′ x 32′ or larger
