Custom Garages and Shops Built to Last
Whether you need a simple detached garage, a heated workshop for your acreage, or a multi-bay commercial shop, TNT Enterprises builds it right. Post frame construction means larger interiors, faster builds, and better insulation than conventional garage construction — at a competitive price.
Why Albertans Choose Post Frame for Garages & Shops
Alberta winters demand heated buildings that don't just keep the cold out, but hold heat efficiently. Post frame construction enables wall systems with deeper insulation cavities than stick-frame — meaning your heated shop actually stays warm without a furnace that runs constantly. For anyone who spends serious time working in their shop through a Lethbridge or Grande Prairie winter, this is a real quality-of-life difference.
Post frame also delivers wider clear-span interiors without interior support columns. A 40-foot-wide shop with no centre column is a fundamentally more usable space than a stick-frame equivalent. You can park an RV, run a two-post lift, and still have room to walk a workbench along the full length of the wall.

Do You Need a Building Permit for a Detached Garage in Alberta?
Yes — in virtually all Alberta municipalities and counties, a building permit is required for a detached garage or shop, even on rural properties. Requirements vary by jurisdiction: some rural counties have minimum setback requirements from property lines and roads, others have restrictions on total accessory building area relative to lot size.
TNT Enterprises handles the permit process for all our builds. We prepare the required drawings, submit to the authority having jurisdiction, and manage the inspection process through to occupancy — so you don't have to navigate Alberta's permit bureaucracy on your own.
