RV and Boat Garages in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Detached Garages

RV and Boat Garages

RV and boat garages with tall doors, deep bays and strong slabs sized for motorhomes, trailers and boats, with power, lighting and drainage planned for long vehicles.

Motorhomes, trailers and boats are big, expensive and exposed to weather. A purpose-built garage keeps them out of sun, hail and tree sap and gives you a place to work on them. Owners in Nashville often want tall doors, deep bays and room to walk around, which makes planning the heart of the project.

We measure height with roof accessories, length with hitches and width with awnings, then plan door height, bay depth and clearance around the vehicle. The slab is designed for heavy loads, with a slope to drains where water from washing or rain needs to go. We plan power for shore connections, lights and tools, and a driveway approach with enough turning radius. Long vehicles need a plan for turning as much as for storing. A tall door means little if the apron is too short to line up the approach, and a deep bay is frustrating if the slab slopes the wrong way. We often sketch the swing of the tow vehicle and trailer over the site plan, then adjust the door position and the apron so backing in feels natural. We also leave space along one wall for a tire rack and basic tools.

Measure it all

We measure height with accessories, length with hitches and width with awnings to set door and bay sizes.

Heavy slab

A thick, reinforced slab with a base and drainage carries long, heavy vehicles.

Door height

Tall doors and headers are planned so roof gear clears with room to spare.

Approach and turning

The driveway apron and turning radius are planned so backing in is realistic.
