Mike Conneely of Greenside Design Build takes a look at a sport court built into a garage rather than a basement, explaining how the approach can provide a more flexible and cost-conscious option for homeowners. The project combines a two-car sport court with additional garage space and requires careful structural planning to maintain a high ceiling for basketball. Conneely explains how steel I-beams replace traditional collar ties while supporting the roof structure around the large garage opening. He also addresses the thermal bridging created by the steel and the need to insulate around the beams to manage heat loss and condensation.
