Well I've spent some time on Google, and oddly I can't seem to find much help. It could just be one of those awkward days where my brain doesn't connect to my internet, but basically what I want to do is sort out and pimp up my garage a little. It's not that big, and at the moment it's far to small to even get my car in it and walk around it, but I was thinking, better lighting as it has a florescent tube at the moment, which isn't really enough. Also looking at how to make the door or lock more secure, as well as maybe some flooring, and units to put up on the walls. Also somewhere to hang ones tools etc

I'm not asking people to post pictures of their own garages, as that's a risky game, but just some ideas etc would be truly appreciated

I've not got a picture of the door open, but this is the type of garage I mean, many thanks everyone.

There is a good piston heads thread. I think b and q black gloss units are good along with a nice floor

I have a single sectional garage and over time fitted interlocking floor tiles (ebay), moisture resistant chipboard to walls, kingspan to ceiling, insulated roll to doors, stanley units with rubber checker plate matting on top and ali checker backing plates.
I had 5 strip lights fitted and changed the tubes to LED ones which are a lot brighter
De-humidifier keeps damp out and warms inside up
This was over a couple of years and now it's bright/ clean/ warmer

Garage journal is another great site for ideas- most are in America so their small garages are the size of our tripples but there are some small singles
