Cross orbweaver spider

There are several orbweaver spiders that kind of look like yours, but the cross orbweaver spider looks most like it. The cross orbweaver is found over most of North America. Below is a site with photos that look just like yours - http://bugguide.net/node/view/463553/bgimage
Here are other pics.

The orbweavers are common spiders found in gardens, barns and most outdoor spaces. They are not poisonous.
Spiders do not intend to bite humans...however if you mishandle them, squeeze them, or otherwise come in very close contact, they can bite. But only if irritated to do so. They are just hanging in the garage for some dinner...which are insects. They will keep the insect pests out of your garage and garden :-)

It looks like a garden orb weaving spider. They can get quite large, but are not dangerous to humans. Their webs are usually large, too, and look different than the usual spider web.
