Garage Building Project
36′ × 40′ Garage | A Classic Garage, Crafted for Everyday Use and Lasting Value
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
Built in 2024 in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, this 36′ × 40′ × 11′ garage showcases the timeless appeal of traditional barn styling, elevated by Walters Buildings’ engineering precision and quality. Designed as a multi-purpose space for vehicles, tools, and hobby projects, it delivers beauty and performance in equal measure.
The Building:
Simplicity can be striking when every detail is done right. Finished in red steel siding with charcoal roofing and white trim, this post-frame structure blends clean lines with durable materials for a look that feels both bold and enduring.
A Clopay® 18′ × 9′ insulated overhead door provides main access for vehicles, while a matching 8′ × 8′ rear door creates a functional pull-through bay, ideal for trailers, mowers, or small equipment. The building’s proportions make it versatile enough for personal storage or workshop use, while maintaining a polished residential presence.
The Details:
Accented with a 3′ × 3′ MWI cupola topped by a rooster weather vane, the design honors its rural roots while offering the performance of a modern build. From site prep to final trim, this turnkey project captures everything that makes Walters Buildings stand out — craftsmanship, convenience, and confidence.
Inside, the structure is fully insulated and lined with steel interior panels, creating a bright, easy-to-maintain workspace. Built-in LED eave lights extend usability after dark, and the space is prepped with HVAC and electrical rough-ins for year-round comfort.
