- Detached
Garage is totally separated from
the living portion of the residence. Detached garages are
independent structures, which are typically slab on grade structures. The
specifications for the slab on grade structures are generally the same as those
for an attached garage or a house. With a detached garage, there are fewer
concerns regarding fire and safety hazards than with an attached garage.
However, the area is still considered a potential fire hazard. The main
concern of this type of garage is  its structural integrity.
The exterior
sidings and roof coverings are typically installed the same as any other
structure. If the detached garage has a fossil fuel heating system, then
the same requirements to elevate the combustion chamber 18 inches above the slab
and provide protective barrier apply.
