Adding width to your current structure is an incredibly cost-effective way to increase your space. If your current building’s roof line is high, then you can go wider and have the option to add lean-tos attached to one or both sides, and you can also add more bays. A lean-to will extend your roofline on the sides with a new frame attached to your original frame. With this, your original walls can stay, or if you’d like to open the bay, the walls can be removed and replaced with doors to keep the space more open. Adding length is another way to expand. The process is slightly different. If your current construction is post and beam style, you won’t be able to directly attach to the original frame, and you’ll have to start with a new end wall replaced right next to the end wall of your current building. Another option is to have the new addition’s secondary frame attached to the original primary frame, and with this, you can make your building as long as needed and add extra bays to the back as far as you have the foundation. Dreaming of the Empire State Building? Adding height is a bit more tricky as it requires specific framing techniques, and you may need to build a new frame in the foundation of the old walls for this project. Some support beams may also need to be removed before bays and end walls can be added.
