Gambrel

Inspired by the barns of Lancaster County, our Gambrel Garages combine classic charm with unmatched functionality. With their distinctive roofline, they provide more second-floor space than any other style, making them perfect for storage or living areas.

About our Gambrel Style Garage

The Gambrel Garage’s defining feature is its triple-ridge roofline: a central peak with two additional ridges that create a steeper outer slope. This design not only enhances the structure’s durability but also maximizes the usable space on the second floor.

This extra space opens up a world of possibilities. With a few upgrades, such as an electric package and a mini-split HVAC system, the upper level can become a cozy retreat—a man cave, home office, or art studio. Add plumbing and finish the walls with drywall to create a fully livable apartment or guest suite, perfect for long-term stays or short-term rentals.

For those looking for practicality, the Gambrel Garage excels as a storage powerhouse. The standard package includes two 9’ x 7’ overhead doors, offering ample room for vehicles, farm equipment, or outdoor gear. With its timeless aesthetic and incredible versatility, the Gambrel Garage is ready to transform your property.

Make It Yours

While the listed specifications are standard across all of our structures, there are many opportunities to customize your garage to match your needs or style.

Here are only a few customization considerations when designing your Gambrel Garage:

  • For the roof, consider a dormer or cupola to give your outdoor building a unique look.
  • Opt for a cedar shake, ribbed metal or standing-seam metal roof to further customize its appearance.
  • We offer a plethora of siding options including beaded vinyl, HardiePlank, board-and-batten, and cedar shake.
  • Varying the windows to meet your needs with options including insulated, wood sash, arched wood sash and transom windows.
  • Add character with custom shutters: choose from wood slat, vinyl raised panel or vinyl louvered options.
