I'm often asked if Western Garage Builders ever builds an attic truss garage without a staircase?
The answer is yes. Sometimes we build an attic truss garage exactly the same as the staircase garage but we use a folding drop down ladder instead.
The pros of a garage ladder vs a garage staircase is, it takes up less main floor garage space. The con is the size of stuff that can be brought up to the second floor. A garage ladder typically fits between two trusses which are 24" on center.
When designing your custom garage please take into consideration how your garage will be used and for what.
The pictured garage is located in St Paul, MN. Its a 24x24 with a 10/12 attic truss roof. The siding is Alside vinyl, aluminum soffit and fascia, GAF/Elk roofing shingles and a 16x7 raised panel steel overhead garage door.
