597 32x40x12 three bay garage building
Most three-bay garages come with doors already hung, priced, and matched to whatever the builder had on hand. This Pennsylvania owner skipped that step and had all three openings framed to spec with no doors included, leaving the size, insulation, and finish choice for later. 597 32x40x12 is an equipment storage garage framed for a 16-by-10 door and two 10-by-9 doors, sized around the owner’s own equipment rather than a generic bay width. It is the build for someone who knows exactly what they are parking and wants the openings ready before they shop for doors.

Explore Building 597 32x40x12 red metal garage building
Start with the color pairing. Red Frontier panels carry the walls under a Brite White roof and trim, and the front elevation at a 4/12 pitch shows how three framed openings read across a 40-foot wall before any doors go in. The 16-by-10 opening anchors the center with a 10-by-9 opening on either side, and the 12 foot 6 wall height clears each one, worth studying for a red metal garage building.
Inside is where the framed openings on 597 32x40x12 tell the real story. Trusses run 4 feet on center across the 32-foot span, and each door opening carries its own header rather than one shared beam, which is what a three bay garage building looks like before the doors arrive. The single window and entry door sit off to one side, leaving the rest of the wall open for the equipment storage garage layout that follows.

Building Specifications
A 32-foot span with three door openings changes how header framing lays out compared to one wide door. 597 32x40x12 uses 32-foot standard trusses spaced 4 feet on center at a 4/12 pitch, sized to Pennsylvania snow load by code and design. The poles are 4×6 .23 MCA treated, set on Pioneer’s standard spacing, and the 12 foot 6 inch wall clears the tallest opening with room for its header. Roofing runs over the trusses with no added insulation, keeping this red metal garage building priced as an open shell.
All three garage door openings on 597 32x40x12, the 16-by-10 and the two 10-by-9 bays, are framed out only, with no doors included, alongside a single 3068 six-panel steel insulated entry door and one 3-by-4 single-hung window with grids and screen for this equipment storage garage. One-foot overhangs run every eave and gable under white vinyl soffit, a 40-foot ridge vent handles roof airflow, and a treated 2-by-6 skirtboard with barrier tape closes the gap at grade level below the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much space is in this three bay garage?
As a 32×40 three bay garage, 597 32x40x12 gives you 1,280 square feet across three separate bays, framed for a 16-by-10 door and two 10-by-9 doors, enough room for full-size equipment in every opening.
Why are the garage doors listed as frame-out only?
Frame-out only means Pioneer frames and headers each opening to spec, but doors are not included in this quote. That keeps the price flexible if you already own doors or want to source them separately.
Why is the wall height 12 feet 6 inches?
The 16-by-10 and 10-by-9 door openings need clearance above the header, so the wall is framed to 12 foot 6, tall enough for standard equipment doors with room to spare above each one.
Does Pioneer build garages in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Pioneer is headquartered in Pennsylvania and has completed more than 30,000 post-frame buildings since 1998 across seven Mid-Atlantic states. Our Pennsylvania pole building company frames three bay garages like this regularly.
Pricing & Financing Options
A three bay garage building does not price the same as a single-door shell. 597 32x40x12, a 32×40 three bay garage, carries three separate framed door openings instead of one shared header, a 12 foot 6 inch wall height to clear the tallest opening, 32-foot trusses engineered to Pennsylvania snow load, and a 40-foot ridge vent. Framing three headers instead of one adds labor before the wall panel even goes up. The doors themselves are frame-out only, so that line item is intentionally left off this quote.
The decision to make before requesting a quote on a build like this is whether you want doors included or plan to source your own. Frame-out only keeps the shell price lower up front, but you still need to budget separately for three garage doors before this equipment storage garage is fully closed in. A Pennsylvania pole building company can walk through both paths and price the doors in if you would rather have one number.
We also offer flexible Financing Options so you can get started without compromising on design or quality.

Final Thought
The lesson from 597 32x40x12 is not the frame-out doors. It is what did not make the list. One window. One entry door. No insulation, no liner, no second walk-in access on the far end. On a footprint this size, that is a deliberate choice to spend the budget on volume and clear-span framing instead of comfort features, which tells you exactly what this building is for, parking and storing equipment, not a heated workspace.
That restraint shows up in the framing plan too. Three big door openings and one small window means most of the wall is either opening or solid panel, with very little layout given over to daylight or foot traffic. A red metal garage building would usually carry two or three windows and a second entry door for a footprint this size, this one skipped both to keep the shell simple and the price down.
Pioneer has completed more than 30,000 post-frame buildings across the Mid-Atlantic since 1998, and plenty of them are exactly this kind of no-frills equipment storage garage. As a Pennsylvania pole building company, we have framed enough of these to know when a buyer wants a finished space and when they just want square footage they can lock up. Project 597’s owner clearly wanted the second one.
