Question 1

What is a garage shed and how is it different from a regular shed?

Accepted Answer

A garage shed (or outdoor garage) is a larger storage building designed specifically to house vehicles — such as cars, ATVs, mowers, and UTVs — with heavy‑duty flooring, roll‑up doors, and wide access. Unlike a standard storage shed, garage sheds offer vehicle‑friendly access and reinforced structure for heavier loads.

Question 2

Do I need a permit to install a garage or large shed in New Richmond, WI?

Accepted Answer

In Wisconsin, smaller sheds under about 150 sq ft typically don’t require a permit, but larger garages and sheds may need one. Building permit rules vary by property size and St. Croix County zoning requirements, so always check with local authorities before installation.

Question 3

What size garage shed do I need for my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Choose a size based on the vehicles and equipment you plan to store. A small utility vehicle or lawn mower may fit a single‑bay garage shed, while cars, trucks, or multiple ATVs require larger widths and door heights for easy entry and exit.

Question 4

What base or foundation does a garage shed require?

Accepted Answer

A level base is crucial for garage sheds. Common base options include concrete slabs, gravel pads, or compacted pavers. A stable surface prevents shifting, reduces water pooling, and ensures the heavy‑duty garage floor stays durable and secure.

Question 5

How long does delivery and setup take for a garage shed?

Accepted Answer

Delivery and installation timing depends on the garage size and customization options you choose. Once your site is prepared and a quote is confirmed, many garage sheds can be delivered and installed within a few days — local delivery helps speed the process.

Question 6

Can garage sheds be customized?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most garage sheds allow for custom door types (roll‑up, overhead, side entry), insulation, windows, lofts, shelving, and workbench areas so you can tailor your space for vehicles, tools, or workshop use.

Question 7

What items should I store (or avoid) in a garage shed?

Accepted Answer

Garage sheds are ideal for vehicles, power tools, lawn and garden equipment, and bulky outdoor gear. Avoid storing items that are sensitive to temperature extremes or moisture — like electronics, paint cans, or food — unless your garage shed is insulated and climate‑controlled.

Question 8

How do I maintain my garage shed for long‑lasting use?

Accepted Answer

Regular maintenance helps protect your investment:
 • Check for roof leaks and reseal when needed
 • Clear debris from around the base for proper drainage
 • Inspect doors and roll‑ups for smooth operation
 • Touch up exterior paint or stains to prevent weather wear
