Custom Garage | CG002
A porch on a garage is a layout decision before it is a style one. Custom Garage CG002 is a 60×120 garage in Virginia with a 12×70 rear lean-to and a wraparound porch that turns the front left corner.
The posts, headers, and stone all have to land on one spacing. Read how this build sets them before you sketch a porch onto your own.
Photos of a 60×120 Garage
Start at the front left corner, where the porch roof turns, and the cedar-wrapped posts stand on stone bases. Then follow the three cedar-finish plank doors across the charcoal wall, and see how the black roof and two cupolas hold one dark line above them. The wood tone is the only warm color on this wall, which is why it does so much.

The wall frame is 3-ply 2×6 glu-laminated poles at 8 feet on center, with 2×4 girts and purlins at 24 inches. The porch mono trusses sit at 48 inches on center.

- Fire blocking throughout: Vertical and horizontal fire blocking runs inside and out, on 2×4 girts and purlins 24 inches on center.
- A roof built to breathe: A Double Bubble vapor barrier sits under the roof, with a 120-foot universal ridge vent and two 48-inch cupolas.
- Ready for ceiling fans: Girder trusses were removed to support two future ceiling fans, with a 2×12 catwalk and metal light rails.

Pricing & Financing Options
On a garage this size, the finish moves the quote more than the footprint. The three plank-style doors with openers, the two porches with cedar-wrapped posts, the eight stone-wrapped corner posts, the scissor trusses, and the plywood interior walls each change the number on their own. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us how the garage will be used, what has to drive through the doors, and the porch layout you want, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Settle how the porch frame and the main frame relate before you pick finishes. On this garage, the main frame stands on Concrete Perma-Columns, with its poles 8 feet on center, while the porch posts stand without them at 10 feet on center. Wider spacing means fewer posts and longer headers to wrap, and it sets where the stone-wrapped corner posts can fall. Decide that split on paper first, because it fixes post count, header length, and every stone and cedar detail that hangs off them.
