just go as far as you can if you have the room.

phil_focus

dude if you have the space and it dont cost too much more i'd go 14ft. i know 2ft dont sound a lot but if you have several cars to work on or want to put up work benches etc and you need another 2ft you'll be kicking yourself for not goin bigger!

righthooker

as above , i have 12ft but it dont mater how much space you have it will fill

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

it means i have to buy 2ft of next doors land lol they would sell but bet it wont be cheap.

12ft wide is ok for working on a car if its long enough so that you dont have to have stuff at the side of the car like shelves etc.

You wont get both doors open and be able to walk around it, but will be fine for most jobs.

phil_focus

well build a 12 footer then

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

cheers chip its going to be 22ft long!

just goto find a builder lol

Chip

22ft long should be plenty for working on most cars.

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

i only meant if you had 14ft of space use it lol, not go and buy an extra 2ft of next door lol.

as Chip says, 12ft should be ok fo most jobs.

love the stone garage jeff it must be time consuming all that pointing ,i am going to build a garage could you tell me how much the concrete would cost for a 5inch base measuring 17ft x 30ft going to do the ground work myself .neil

iTrader: (2)

big geoff on here built his for 11grand an had roller shuter doors on ,look in built thread there photos

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

neil you would be best off ringing the company your going to use for the concrete for a quote or ring around a couple of places as prices vary around the country,do this before you start any ground works it will give you ballpark figure of what its gona cost,do this with all other materials also,that garage did take some doing but worth it in the end,good luck with your build and dont forget to put some pics up when you get started.

rs200boy

charlie how long is it as im going to build one 14ft by 20 ft looks wide enough tho

Kieron

mine has cost about that so far with electrics too and it's 33ft x 21ft roughly. 10m x 7m. I did do all the work myself though apart from laying the bricks. If your still local to Ipswich I can give you my brickies number if you like? I think he charged me 1500 for labour and was out in all weathers getting it done.

As above go as big as you can go, mines 18ft by 18ft and wish id got a 20ft one

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

I can go 30ft long if i want but its the width im worried about im going to risk with 12ft i think.

fordsportjay

iTrader: (6)

i think mine is 18ft wide and 24 foot long.its a good size and a concrete sectional one.
it only cost me £2200 and they come and fit it in a day with up and over door etc.10 year guarantee.
