28×40 Metal Workshop & Garage Overview
At 1,120 sq ft, a 28×40 metal building is one of the most versatile sizes we offer in Virginia. It works equally well as a workshop or equipment storage building, and many VA customers use this size for a combination of both — parking vehicles on one side and working on the other. Bull Buildings shops 28+ manufacturers and delivers fully installed across Virginia at a price we guarantee in writing.

How many vehicles fit in a 28×40 metal garage?
A 28×40 comfortably fits 2 vehicles with room to work. At 1,120 sq ft you have space for vehicles plus a workbench, tool storage, or a dedicated shop area along one wall.
Do I need a permit for a 28×40 building in Virginia?
Permit requirements vary across Virginia’s 95 counties. Structures over a certain threshold (commonly 144 or 200 sq ft) typically require a permit. At 1,120 sq ft, a 28×40 will almost certainly require one in most VA jurisdictions. Bull Buildings provides VA-licensed engineer-stamped drawings for all 95 Virginia counties and independent cities.
What roof style should I choose for a 28×40 in Virginia?
A vertical roof is recommended for Virginia customers. Coastal Tidewater area customers need our highest wind-rated specs. Western VA mountain counties should ask about extra snow load capacity. For a 28×40, the vertical roof also has the advantage of being the most durable long-term option — the panels run vertically so water and debris shed completely off the edge.
How long does delivery and installation take in Virginia?
Most 28×40 orders in Virginia ship and install within 4–8 weeks from site picture confirmation. We deliver and install across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke, and all 95 Virginia counties. We’ll give you a specific delivery window estimate when you place your order.
