The Build is in the Details

DIY Customer Journey with the Lascelles Family in Decatur, Georgia

“We left out no detail when designing our new backyard garage shop. By using Worldwide Steel’s 3D designer tool, we were able to customize it how we wanted it.”

A spacious garage with three cars: a vintage green Mini at the center, a silver car parked on the left, and another silver car elevated on a lift. Red tool cabinets and workbenches line the walls, and the ceiling has metal beams.

Delivery Preparation

Three people are working on constructing a metal frame structure on a concrete slab in a backyard. There are tools and building materials scattered around, and a red ladder is positioned next to the structure. Trees and a wooden fence are in the background.

Step 1

Removal of any trees, bushes, landscaping and debris in and around the site before dirt work is the initial step in the building process.

Step 2

Excavation and ‘grading’ the area to ensure the building pad will be precisely the same grade from corner to corner.

Step 3

Gravel will need to be spread over the area to provide a basic foundation before concrete is poured.

Step 4

Concrete to be poured at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the level of support needed inside the structure.

Building Installation

It really is as simple as bolting Part A to Part B

A metal garage with two large windows and a white door sits on a patch of gravel. A car is partially visible on the left. The garage is surrounded by greenery and trees under a clear sky.

Final Product

A long metal building with a covered porch featuring rocking chairs, a stack of firewood, and a grill. The roof has two small cupolas. The building is surrounded by grassy land under a clear blue sky.

“Our ultimate goal was to build a garage with enough space for a car lift. Overall, the build went very well and we are very happy with our new steel garage!”
