Menards Garage Packages

Menards is a home improvement company that sells many home improvement items including Garage packages. When I say garage packages, this includes everything from the material needed to build it to the doors. It is important to note, that they only give the material, it is necessary for the customer to cut everything and build it themselves.

1. Menards website: On the Menards website, it is possible for the customer to choose what type of garage (one, two or three cars), roof style, siding type and the size of the garage. I chose it because it is the company’s website, and I thought it was designed in a user friendly manner, which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. Customers only need to click on the radio buttons in each section pertaining to what they are looking for, and a list will come up. It is also possible to enter a postal code in order to get the prices and availability. (www.menards.com)
2. The Garage Journal – Menards Garage Packages: The Garage Journal is a website for people that build garages, or are building a garage, need help etc. When searching through their forum for something about Menards, I stumbled upon this thread. I thought it had some valuable information for people thinking of getting a Menards garage package. Although this could be the cheapest way to go it’s important to remember the amount of work necessary to build the garage, therefore reading a few customer experiences (most good) can be helpful.

3. The Garage Knowledge Base: This is a list of questions and answers revolving around garages. The reason I chose it as one of the suggested resources is because it has a section on garage kits that answers many different questions. The people who provided the answers are knowledgeable and give good information. (gilgamesh.ca)
4. Trackshare – Menards Garage Pkg: This is simply another forum; however the reason I chose it was because it gave somewhat of a different perspective as there were more people that were suggesting they don’t buy the garage kit from Menards, compared with the other was that was more favourable.

5. Jalopy Journal – How much to build garage: This is another forum. On this particular one, they are talking about prices for various garage packages from different places including Menards. I thought it would be a good resource for people looking into buying a garage package from Menards as they would have the chance to do a comparison before choosing whether to not to go with them.

6. Menards – how to pour concrete pad video: This is a video that explains how to pour a concrete slab. I chose it because I thought that this would be a good resource for people thinking of building a garage, and buying the package from Menards. The package does not come with the concrete slab, so it will be necessary to pour one. (www.menards.com)
7. Menards Deliveries to Winnipeg: Although I am aware that this resource is only for a selected number of people, I thought that I should add it as I figured somebody reading might be from Winnipeg. Is simply explains what Menards delivers to Canada and whether or not there are restrictions. (johndobbin.blogspot.com)
8. Wikipedia – Menards: Although Wikipedia had gotten a bad reputation in its early days, it has fast become a website with great resources. If you are looking for facts or general information on most anything it can be found here. There page on Menards is no different. It has a lot of information including some controversy with which the company was involved. (en.wikipedia.org)

10. Profile Facts – Menards – This website has a vast array of information regarding the Menard’s company. It is not exclusively on Menards garage kits, but I chose it because I thought it gave a great overview of the company. If speaks of location of stores, gives a little history and many other useful information. (profilefacts.blogspot.com)
11. Garage Kits Thoughts: I chose this as the resource to avoid if you are looking for any pertinent information. The page is supposed to give facts on Menards garage kits; however it does not give any useful information that cannot be found elsewhere. Another reason why I chose this is the non suggested resource is because there is so much advertisement on the website that it is hard to tell what advertisements are and what are part of the webpage content.
