Iron Trap Garage Builds A Big Pole Barn ON TOP OF THEIR GARAGE!!!


Iron Trap Garage Builds A Big Pole Barn ON TOP OF THEIR GARAGE!!!

When it comes to adding shop space to an existing building you have two choices, either go up or go out. Either way will work, but sometimes one is much easier than the other. In the case of Matt’s house and the garage that is home to Iron Trap Garage, going UP was a much better way to go because of the shape of the land and the room that he had around the existing garage. Because the original garage is a stone-walled building that is sunk into the side of the hill, it had some serious strength and a flat roof that was strong enough to support a second floor above it. But what about the cars and stuff that he would want to put inside that second floor?

According to the engineering professionals, the current garage was the perfect foundation to use for a second story full of cars above and we are super stoked to see it all finished. In this video you’ll see it go up, see Matt talk about what else is going to happen, and probably be inspired to make something happen at your own place. Check it out.

Video Description:

Matt has been talking about adding a second floor to the shop since he purchased the house over 5 years ago. With the growing collection of cars the second floor is needed more than ever, and it’s finally time to get started on construction. First step is to get the ground built up to on the backside of the shop to allow access to the new building. The contractor doing the ground work made quick work of the excavation and got the ground built up to the back of the shop. Once the building is finished they will come back and finish the grading and final stoning. With the material dropped the building contractors get to work and built the entire structure in TWO DAYS! We are so excited to start adding our finishing touches and starting to fill the building with some finished cars!!
