Why choose a side-entry garage?

Side-entry layouts suit lots where you approach the building from the side, and they let you add more bays along the long wall.

How many doors can I put on the side of a 24x40?

Two or three 10-foot doors usually fit, depending on door width and required framing between openings.

Do side-entry garages need a vertical roof?

Vertical roofs are recommended for most enclosed garages of this length because they shed water and snow toward the eaves. Your specialist can review the options for your climate.

Side-Entry Garage

24x40x10 Side-Entry Garage

A side-entry garage puts the roll-up doors on the long wall instead of the end. That makes the building look more like a traditional home garage, works better when the end of the building faces a property line or fence, and gives you more door options along a 40-foot run.
