Currently have this - it's the garage that came with the house - it's a very good size at 24 x 12 feet, but it's too near the house (4.2 metres) as we want to extend the house in the future. It also has a terrible roof - I was forced to re-roof half of it last year as it leaked so badly, I did not want to do it properly as it was due to be replaced. It's a concrete pre fab, so not very warm with a corrugated concrete and fibreglass panel roof. Plus side is it has a very good floor and proper power in heavy duty armour plated cable has been taken out to it.    It's due to be demolished tomorrow so I will post progress photos as things develop (dark nights permitting). |

Bookmarked. Love a garage build. Sadly I can't do my own as we rent but I love to watch other new builds come together. Plus I can always steal ideas for the inside of mine!!

I’d love to build a new garage but I’ve got no idea what to do with all the curse word I’ve accumulated in the one I’ve got while I was building a new one, 😂
Best of luck with it.

It was a struggle to find space - fortunately I had a small garage built at the end of the garden first, Then I added a small shed. filled both of those to the brim - some stuff is in thr 3rd bedroom and some stuff has gone to work.
Workbench & compressor will have to stay in place and be worked around - too big & heavy to put anywhere else.

My garage is so full of stuff "that'll come in handy" that I need to extend soon. Should get started in the spring, drawing it all up in solidworks at the mo

Good luck in your build process.
I love a build, and the whole process.
Are you throwing out the concrete sectional altogether or is someone going to reuse it?
I guess your access is down the side of the house too, so access he’s to be kept free.

Day 1. Builders arrived at 8am, got home at 6 to see this;   Not bad for 8 hours work. Tree out and garage flattened & a lot put in skip. Shame the garage has to go back up really - I can suddenly appreciate how big our back garden is  I did think of offering the garage free to anyone who wanted it but it all a matter of time. 8 hours & its gone, offered to someone else and it could have taken several weeks to get rid of it. Some of it will be used to backfill the soakaway for the drainage from the roof. |

Mark - Do you have plans for a suitable RSJ to go in at ceiling height that you can lift from - that said in this day & age engine cranes are 2 a penny so it may well end up not getting used at all if you did fit one

This is an early draft of the garage; Pretty much exactly what i built in my garden. Unfortunately i can only get motorbikes down the side of the house. Decent size though. |
