Because garages are typically much larger than sheds, building permits are usually required and the structure must be built to code. In many ways, garage construction is very similar to that of a house.
The foundation for the garage is usually some form of slab. Walls are typically built in sections and raised one at a time. They are braced temporarily upright and secured to the foundation with a mudsill that's attached with concrete anchors.
Rough openings are placed wherever doors or windows are to be installed; headers at the top replace the support that would have been provided by the wall studs.
Ceiling joists span the walls and hold them together; rafters are attached to ceiling joists and the ridge board to form the roof. The rafters are covered with sheathing, roofing felt, and shingles.
Windows and doors are installed, and exterior sheathing, siding, or shingles are added, along with the exterior trim to complete the garage.
