My AR240 is going to get a new bedroom!

[AEmedic]

After determining that my 2015 AR240 would take up too much room in our garage, I decided to build a garage/workshop in the back yard. I am waiting for the city to approve my permit, hopefully I can get it done before the cold weather sets in. I intend to go with a 10' X 10' door and the building will be 25' deep and 24' wide. I'm looking forward to getting started since I am doing it myself.

I’m in the same situation, waiting on the city after several months of back and forth on planning & engineering. Feeling like mine will never happen.
Are you actually doing the construction by yourself or managing the process?

I will be building it myself, hopefully the city won't drag this out...

Good luck, hope it goes well!
Mine has been extra difficult due to height and limited distance from my house that both created issues. I think it would have been a lot easier otherwise.

Fingers crossed... How close is yours going to be to the house? We are planning for ours to be 6' from the back of the house.

It runs along the side and we thought it would be 6’, but didn’t realize that the roof eaves count in that spacing as well. I can’t move it over on the lot anymore and it’s only 20’ wide so I didn’t want to give up another couple feet of width. We ended up having to make it compliant with fire code as though it were attached.

I've started discussions with our town's code enforcement officer. Hoping to build a lean-to on the side of our second garage/apartment. I would LOVE to get the boat into the _heated garage_ I've already got but would need to fully remove the bimini frame and tower to make it through the just barely 8' garage door. I'm convinced the previous owner of the property built the garage doors intentionally wide for his own boat, but didn't require the height clearance I now do

Yep these things are freaking tall. I went ahead and did a full size RV door to future proof it.

I'd love to not need to lower the wake tower, but I also don't want the building to be that tall...

I put in an 11' tall garage door in my detached garage. I did not want to raise and lower the tower in and out every time. For another foot of height it will be worth it. I think my 212 Limited S needs about 10' 6" to pass under.

You've got me thinking, one more foot...

I have 2015 24 ft boat. Might want to measure the length from the back of the boat to the folding tongue, 25.0 Ft deep will not be enough. I would think 28.0 Ft. would be minimum to give you some room backing in to keep from hitting back wall. Extra room makes it nice if you want to get in the boat and have room to get on from the back during winter for the those "Upgrade Projects"

Might as well make it 30’ deep.



You know, in case you decide to buy a 27 footer.

The overall length of the boat and trailer, with the tongue folded is 23' 6".
