9 Building Accessories to Take Outdoor Garages to the Next Century

Custom garage buildings turn outdoor garages into bold statements of purpose. Geared up with the right accessories, modern garages adapt beautifully for life into the next century. So, gear up for fun building adventures when you conceive of the smart durability of the simple garage outback. Will the garage house your camper, a boat, hobbies, or a horse?

We’ll show you some popular accessories being selected by today’s owners to make their outdoor garages beautiful, versatile, and durable. Remember, every one of our Lester Buildings pole buildings allows up to 120 feet wide clear span with limitless custom options. Outdoor garages, consequently, can be exalted into the best extra space you can dream of.

9 Accessory Variations to Personalize your Garage

Roof Materials and Shapes. Decide upon a Uni-Rib metal roof or go for traditional shingles. Shapes vary from traditional gambrel to flying gables to the monitor roof with translucent eaves and more.

Exterior Sheathing. Select from any exterior materials, log to stucco to metal.

Wainscoting. Wainscoting adds depth and texture to large walls. Any kind of material may be applied to indoor and outdoor walls. Brick and wood are popular but some like to match the shutters and metal roof.

Cupolas and Dormers. Charming cupolas with or without windows perfectly top off roof lines and ground pole buildings in Old World style. Dormers bring in natural lighting and add visibility from an inside loft or storage area.

Porches, Overhangs, and Lean-tos. From small porches and overhangs near a side door to full wraparound alternatives, adding outdoor living areas is a sure way to increase the livability of your garage for decades to come. Large inviting porches offer friendly gathering places to enjoy the Colorado sunsets and wildlife, too. Store firewood undercover if you like.

Pitches on Porches and Roof. Change up the style—from A-frame look to gamble roof or decide on multiple pitches to give your garage shop an interesting flare. Go with 12/12, 10/12, 8/12 or whatever works for you. High or low pitch, you can still get in an extra story and a walk out deck up there.

Doors and Windows. Set the curb appeal with your chosen doors and windows. Add a Dutch door or go simple, put in French doors to the patio or deck area, use picture windows to add natural light, or protect your space by adding windows high up from the ground. Our large overhead doors and pivot door may just be what you need. Ask about the wood-grain finish, coachman style with windows, or modern glass overhead doors. Add metal mansards for a handsome finish.

Lighting Placement and Design. Not only the style of light fixtures but the placement of your lights will play roles in the personality of Colorado custom garages.

Colors. Our design team can set you up with rich colors, custom colors, m, white, even black and metallics. This flexibility allows clients to add character to Colorado outbuildings.
