Different Styles of Detached Garages

Jon Lantz • March 27, 2025

Detached garages are great additions to your yard. Adding a detached garage to your home provides a safe space to park your car, create a project space, or use for extra storage you can’t fit in your home. Jed’s Sheds offers many different styles of detached garages, each one of them custom-built to perfectly fit your needs. Check out our different detached garages below to determine the style right for you.

One-Car Garages

Cottage Garage

Our Cottage Garage has a simple design, perfect for someone who needs a generic space with a larger door to store belongings. This garage is designed for storing a car, truck, motorcycle, or ATV with a little extra space for storage needed for those vehicles. They are built for easy storage - whether it be vehicles, gardening tools, or other outdoor equipment. These garages come standard with one 8’x7’ garage door, a side door, two windows with shutters, and two gable vents. 


Dutch Barn Garage

Our Dutch Barn Garage is ideal for someone who needs more storage than what our standard sheds offer. The barn-style roof allows for a loft, adding overhead storage. This will help you store essential items that can’t be on the floor due to the vehicle taking up space. It will add efficiency to your storage solutions. These garages come standard with an 8’x7’ garage door, a side door, two windows with shutters, and two gable vents. 


Classic Garden Garage

Our Classic Garden Garage comes with the functionality of our standard Cottage Garages, but with a classic style to it. The garage door for this style has longer hinges and a carriage-style look to it. This garage will stylistically look great next to your house, adding more flair to your property and boosting your curb appeal. Our garages come standard with an 8’x7’ garage door, a side door, two oversized windows with shutters, and two gable vents. 


Two-Car Garages

Double-Wide Garage

Our Double-Wide Garage gives double the space as our standard one-car garage. You can use this garage to store multiple vehicles or use one side as additional storage space if you need more than the standard sheds and garages provide. You could even convert the space into a workshop or a gathering space for parties. These garages come standard with 83” high side walls, a wooden floor, two 8’x7’ garage doors, a side door, two windows with shutters, and a ridge vent. 


Two-Car Garage

Our Two-Car Garage gives the most space to store vehicles and belongings without having to add a second floor. They come with double the space of our standard one-car garages, providing extra space to protect vehicles from weather elements. This garage is ideal if you have a home with multiple drivers with their own cars. These garages are built without a floor, so they can be built on your existing concrete foundation, perfect for homes that don’t already come with garages. This garage style comes standard with 8’ high side walls, a pitched roof with trusses, two 8’x7’ garage doors, a side door, and two windows with shutters. 


Two-Story Buildings

Elite Classic Garden Garage

Our Elite Classic Garden Garage takes advantage of the features of our Elite series by adding a garage door and a second floor to the structure. It has a simple, but classic design that will work for any home’s aesthetic. The first floor of the garage provides a space to store your vehicle and create a car project space, and the second floor allows for storage. These two-story buildings come standard with 9’ high side walls, a pitched roof, one 8’x7’ classic garage door with windows, two oversized windows on the first floor, two windows with shutters on the second floor, a side door, and two gable vents. 


Elite Classic Garden Dutch Barn

Our Elite Classic Garden Dutch Barn maximizes overhead storage space with the barn-style roof. This garage is perfect for storing large outdoor equipment on the first floor and having a personal project on the second floor. The second floor provides a versatile space, allowing you to use the building for multiple things, like storage space, passion projects, or workshops.  This two-story building comes standard with one set of double doors, a side door, two oversized windows on the first floor, two windows with shutters on the second floor, and two gable vents. 


Double-Wide Two-Story Garage

Our Double-Wide Two-Story Garage gives more storage space than our standard Double-Wide Garages. It has a full second-floor addition with stairs that allows for versatility in how you use it. With the addition of the second floor, you can park your vehicles and have a car workshop on the first floor and use the second floor for storage, gatherings, or passion projects. If it’s needed, you could even use the second floor as a guest room. This two-story garage comes standard with 90” side walls on the first floor, a full second floor with stairs, two 8’x7’ garage doors, a side door, two windows with shutters, and a full-length ridge vent. 


Two-Story Dutch Barn

Our Two-Story Dutch Barn takes the style of the Elite Classic Garden Dutch Barn to the next level. It provides a ton of extra space - the size of this building makes it versatile. You can use it for general outdoor storage, a passion project, or a recreational space. You can even make the building into a guest house or party space, by using the first floor as a living room with couches and TVs and using the second floor as storage space or a bedroom. This building comes standard with double doors, oversized windows on the first floor, and windows with shutters on the second floor. You can add a garage door to the building if needed.
