Custom Garage | CG003
When you add to a pole barn, the old building sets the terms. Custom Garage CG003 is a 40×50 garage in Pennsylvania that attaches gable to gable to an existing pole barn, with its finished floor matched to the old one.
Those tie-ins decide whether two buildings work as one. Read how this garage addition to a pole barn handles them before you plan your own.
Photos of a 40×50 Garage
Start at the left end, where a smaller building with a blue-gray roof sits against the new wall, and see how the two roof lines meet. Then follow the long wall, where dark overhead doors repeat the Black roof above them against the Slate siding. The darker doors and roof against the lighter wall are what make the garage read as one clean block.

Post-Frame Garage Specifications
On this post-frame garage, one wall is not free. Gable 1 is flush because it ties into the existing pole barn, so the frame is built around it. The 3-ply 2×6 glu-laminated poles stand 8 feet on center under 40-foot standard trusses at 4 feet on center and a 4/12 pitch, sized for snow load by code and design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you attach a new garage to an existing pole barn?
Yes. A new post-frame building can join an existing pole barn at the gable. Here, Gable 1 is flush and attaches gable to gable to the old barn.
How do you match the floor height when adding on to a pole barn?
You set the new finished floor to the existing floor height before building. On this garage, that is part of the job, so the two spaces meet level.
How tall should garage doors be in a post-frame garage?
Taller doors need more wall height and headroom, so pick door height with the wall. This garage pairs two 12×14 and two 12×12 openings with a 16-foot-6-inch wall.
Pricing & Financing Options
On a garage addition to a pole barn, the quote follows the tie-ins as much as the footprint. Demolishing the existing building, the gable-to-gable attachment, the four framed door openings, the 102 feet of 6K gutter, and house wrap on the walls and roofline each move the number on their own, and setting the finished floor to the existing height adds scope. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us your door sizes, how the new garage meets the old barn, and your colors, and we will price your version.
