i got an electric roller shutter fitted on my garage there it was £1600 cash and that was for a 5.5meter wide and 4.5meter tall.

that was from a company from bolton

The door is in order getting it for £900 + the vat thats for a 3m wide and 2.4m tall so is still big enough doorway for most things

Awsome Garage you built there mate i wish i had the space to build one in my garden but i agree with you on the 2 poster ramp it saves the old back as we get older lol

Matt Baxter

Cheers, its something I have waited a very long time for

Cheers I'm sooo glad I have it now, It was hard work getting it built/building it

But as I said above I really wish it was a little wider(or me not so wide lol), as its just that little bit tight between the ramp posts and the wall
Thats the only real problem I've come across oh and the roller shutter door doesn't really keep the noise in like I was told it would


Well after working out of it for last few weeks I really do wish it was 2 ft wider and about 5 ft longer lol but its still an awesome space to use

have been in there most nights for the last few weeks sorting my brothers discovery out the ramp has been very handy with the amount of welding the fucker needed lol

we've shortened it by 12ish inches and fucking loads I've made a fuel tank,replaced the sills(with box steel), made bumpers, +loads of other repairs

your extension finished as well then matt?

how much did you overspend by then?

we already know it's worth it

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Yeah the house is all done other than the tiny detials

Garage overspend wasn't that much tbh maybe £1500-2 ive put this down to paying out on labour, as material costs were about right in the endand
But as you say well worth it

Nice!! so what was the width inside brickwork to brickwork? i think you said 13'6 total slab size but that looks wider.
im starting mine and thinking 16'wide and 21' long

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

yeah its almost there now

i have had a measure up and its 13'6" wide from side to side the slab was 15'6" and the walls are just about 12" thick as the soil is back filled around it

N.Saph

awesome
now i bet you'll spend more time in the garage than you will in the house lol

Thats fantastic. really liked your build thead. If I can get somebody to buy my house we have a new one lined up with a 42m long back garden. I plan to build a nice garage and your wood finish on the outside would keep the mrs happy as concrete jungle has to be avoided. I'm planning for a ramp too.

Hi Matt, what is the height to eaves of your garage? and total height?

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

yeah I'm out there a fair bit tbh
Thanks,overall its worked out very well, although same as anything it could always be bigger

Cheers
Around 10ft to the eaves and around 17ft the ridge

Mister G

Very cool, glad to see it done, has the inside come on any further?

Sorted

Now the garage is finished all work done

Would you do the project again in hindsight ???

Matt what is the internal size?

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

my wife painted the walls a while back and I've added some shelving but other than that it looks like very a well used workshop

Yeah I think I would do it again as I can do far bigger projects in it
don't get me wrong its taken a lot of work to get here and if I did it again then it would be a fair bit bigger lol


Iirc its 28ft long and 13ft 6" wide at ground level and 14 6" above the block work as Ive said before if I was to do it again then it would be wider and a little longer but I'm very happy with it

Noodoo

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

cheers for taking the time to read it Glenn, i really am very happy wit it its an awesome space to have to work in


Lol cheers mate, yeah it was all totally worth it

awesome job mate. just one question - why didnt you fit windows?

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Cheers! I couldn't be without it now

yeah can open the doors fully with at least 10"spare that if I move all the crap out the way lol

Security really, but it was just extra costs I didn't need

salsheikh

fair enough. i have windows on mine with security bars from top to bottom - previous owner installed them but the windows are rotting away and need replacing so will have to replace the bars too. i dont really have anything of value in my garage other than my playboy calender!

James B

Just read this from the beginning. It's a nicer garage than most houses I've worked at lol. Top effort mate!

What's it done for the house value?
