just thought i'd ask on here as i can imagine a few of u lot have had them built!

also, i'm tempted to built it myself. yeah, i know it'd take 10x as long, but that doesnt bother me tbh, as im always up for a big project and it'll be a change from building cars all the time!

would have help from my dad and gf's dad too as well as uncles etc!

anyone built their own garage?

Last time I saw it was just some dodgy looking trenches, cool, somewhere to park the RSi's if we come and visit

 

not now

 

Thats the nuts So goes to show you, you can build your own garage. Just wish I had some land now

 

not bad eh

8metres by 5 metres

 

wish i had space to do this

 

Spiky hasn't, he just hates gardening

Dude, that looks soo much neater than last time I was over

 

so true

the other side, not so pretty

 

When i get my house, i want a garage built on it too!! lol

 

I did wonder, because you had a -lot- of stuff there...

You need a bunch of kitchen units along that whole side mate

 

rough costs so far?

 

i was just gonna ask Spiky that

 

By lean to i take it you mean front, side and rear using the house gable as the other side?

Double brick walls, lean to roof, up and over door etc?

If you said 6m long X 3m wide you would be looking at around

Compacted hardcore base 8inch deep £200
concrete slab 6inch thick £300
3000 bricks approx £1000
3 tonnes sand approx £90 if bagged
25 bags cement £70
Roof timbers approx £300
Roof tiles, lats, felt approx £500
Up and over door £500
Electrics and misc £500

all plus labour.

 

not been on for a couple of days, but cheers Spiky mate, this has helped loads!!

just working out my costs etc, deffo up for having a go myself

ta again

My brothers finishing off a 22' long x 15' wide garage so it's about the width of 1.5 garages if you get my drift, but a good length.

Recons it cost about £7k all in.

Thats doing everything himself bar laying the bricks.

 

nice one dave, cheers for that. was gonna budget about £10k for a double garage build doing it myself!
