	My wife owns a big old house with her mum down Salisbury way. There is a single corrugated iron garage in the garden that is probably beyond saving. I am starting to think about replacing it with another garage, at least double sized as the garden is huge, but don't have a lot of money to play with. I have seen quite a few Ads around for pre fab concrete garages. Often free, if picked up. Now, I can imagine that they would need a proper flat bed lorry to transport, but was wondering about how hard they are to rebuild? Is it worth looking into, or could it be a lot of grief do you reckon?

	I've a pre-fab garage mate, I've moved it round the garden a couple of times it's always been heavy but reliable. they are very heavy to move, did I mention they are heavy!!! But as garages go they can work well, caution regarding head height mind, mine is 7ft to top of concrete then a flat roof so it doesnt allow for storage, and i wouldn't recommend mounting a winch on the beams. BUT you can get them at a good price, and extend them easy by buying more pannels. Good solution, also recommend looking into timber garages, I've seen a few and they are what I WANT in a few year, loads warmer and can be made to fit exactly as required.

	Build a new one out of timber. Cost you around £1K for a diy speck built unit, but that is pritty good value really, when you look at the cost of off the shelf sheds etc. Lewis

	What is the connection detail between the panels and base like on precast concrete garages?
