A two-story, pre-fab garage takes a few days of on-site
labor to complete, right? Wrong! The innovators here at Horizon
Structures have come up with an entirely new concept for installing
a second story on a building. Give Amish builders lumber,
some hinges, and a mission; and what is the result? Horizon
Structures' new 2-story 2-car garage. You read that correctly,
we have developed a two car garage with a full second floor
that can be delivered completely assembled.
This new garage comes in two halves like our regular two-car
garages, but the secret is that the 7/12 pitch roof is folded
flat for transportation. When the building arrives at the property,
the two sides of the roof get pushed up into position. The stairs
and attic floor are already installed. Don’t worry if
you’re having trouble imagining this concept: so were
we! Here are some pictures of the first model. |
|
The 2 halves are built
to order in our workshop. |
Both sides are loaded
for delivery.
SIngle load size is limited
to 48' long. Two delivery
trucks are needed for
garages over 24' in length.
|
The first half of the garage
is set in place...
Using an ingenious,
Amish-designed lifting
device, two men crank
the roof into position.
|
|
After the roof is lifted and braced, the
front and
back wall are lifted
into place and secured. |
When both sides of
the garage are opened
and secured, they
are jockeyed into
place by our driver.
Our delivery/set-up crew
will permanently join the
two halves...
- Roof
- Floor
- End Walls
...as well as complete
all finishing work
both inside and out.

Full wooden staircase is included in the price and
is installed when the garage
built in our shop.
Garage can be ordered
with or without a
wooden floor on the
ground level. |
 You
specify the height of the upper level when ordering. Opt for
Increased headroom on
the lower level or more
storage space above.
Standard interior height, on second story, is 8'.
We can customize the height of the floor/ceiling... Minimum
height (lower level)
is 7'6" (equals 7'4"
maximum height in attic)
Full or partial attic floor or
totally open/full cathedral. |
Your new 2 car garage is
ready to use in a fraction
of the time of a more
traditionally built structure.
BIG Savings in
labor, too.
