Very nice

 

i live in daisy hill the planning was a sore piont it failed coz the it was so big and tall and i had to have a flat roof which fell into the guide lines of NOT needing planning permission wish i did go a little bigger as i could of :-( as long as it isnt over 2.5 meters in height and doesnt take over 1/2 of your garden then its aloud but it does have to conform to building regs


it will never be a fooking store room unless its for cars and there bits in.

it cost me in total i project managed it my self shopped about for the materials and got people i know in to do various parts of the build £11000 inc block paving which cost £1800 and moving all the soil and digging out £1600 so the garage on its own cost £7600.

 

is that not over half your garden then ?

 

Not if you class the side path and patio and stuff and the border between the garage and the fence etc etc as garden im sure

 

ahh yeah i never thought about it like that

 

Did you get that passed as permitted development?

The workshop (in my garden) is 8.8m (29ft) wide x 14m (46ft) long. Ridge height is bang on 4m. It is made from galvanised steel and sits on 60 tonnes of reinforced concrete.
Mine was approved under permitted development laws in 2002/3.

Garage area is approx 125m2
Bungalow area is approx 82m2
Plot is around 0.27acre

At the time the garage could have been made bigger still. Unbeliveable really!

 

wow not seen any of your cars around westhoughton, i thought i would have done if your in daisy hill!! im up near where metal box used to be, off cherwell road if you know it! ive just done my own driveway in block paving, wish i had the space that you do to build a garage though!

 

Thats huge!

 

i would kill mike if he built a garage that big in my back garden! haha

 

Ace garage.

PMSL @ Tag

 

Nice space that! Please tell us the door is an electric one on a key fob... lol

 

thats a nice big garage. and not a wonky block to be seen anywhere.

 

Awesome! Goodbye garden, you need some token plants growing up it now lol

 

no it aint over half frfom the back of the house not includeing conservatory its 20 metres to back fence and they take into account the front garden as well i wish ide gone bigger but i was thinking abt the space in front i did think of knocking the consevatoy down but dont think my misses would of agread to that lol.

 

my mate lives on cherwell rd at the end only been in westhoughton 4 18 mths n my cars r always abt just got a few so usualy in a shitter

 

dam rite electric :-D want electric gates on side nxt




















just a few bits and bats to finish then can get it cleared of the building inspector n get rid of a little bit of rubbish

 

thats a top job you done there mate ,the workmanship looks top class ,
just shows what can be done if thought out properly

ps the pink focus looks smart


cheers james

 

need.

 

looks bang on

 

mint garage that is,i did one at my last house and it was a good size for a single car or two at a push, out of sectional concrete by this company http://www.nucrete.co.uk/Apex-Roof-Garages.htm http://www.nucrete.co.uk/nucretebrochure.pdf
this was mine http://www.nucrete.co.uk/images/Scan10007.JPG only it was wider and longer@ 16 ft wide and 21.5 ft long.
after i got mine the next door neighbour had the exact same one and so did 2 mates as they are well cheap if anyone wants a quality cheep garage,i had a cracking concrete base my landscaping mate did with me and then i alarmed it and put industrial electric sockets and lighting in for my compressor.buffer,etc. was mint working in there as it was like a small workshop,i then fucking sold the house .
i reckon if i did the big lad garage that geoff has done my neighbours would kick fuckin off so i'm after a plot of industrial land to build my own workshop which i'll get from nucrete.

 

i remember dropping off a unit a while ago at the shcool near your garage geoff?down the road near the car park where that closed down tyre fitting place is/was?

i saw a mint mk1 scort outside your place and i think iirc your saph too...

i saw the van out and about also haha, made my day it did.

 

Thats the kind of size garage id like (not at this house though) but with enough hieght to fit a ramp in at the far end and storage in loft space around lift well.

 

Very nice.

 

At first I thought it was hideous and in a bad place. However, looking at the second lot of pictures I'm thinking it's awesome.

Benni.

 

i cant belive u got planng for that lol awsome tho guess u need it with so many cool cars

 

id love a garage like that at home

 

I'd be tempted to build a wall along the boundary at the side between the two houses and fit a gate at the side of the house. Just a bit of extra security and keep prying eyes out.

 

yea i want electric gates on the side i wanted it higher so i could get a ramp in it but planning said no hence the flat roof didnt need planning for it as it is neighbours ar ok abt ikt realy it sits a lot lower in the garden compared ti if i didnt lower the garden level hous over back cant see it.

i looked at sectional garages for this size it would of cost over 15k this cost me 11500 roughley inc all paving electric shutter door electrics and the painting in side 2 glad i got it done in proper brick.

 

my sectional was less than 2 grand,if anyone is in the market for a garage you will be surprised how cheep they are. plus i think if you mention someone you know put you onto them and say they have had one and so did ther neighbour and a few mates you could get a discount,i did lol.

i love these garage and pit posts,i would have a desk and chairs in that one for flogging cars at night from the back garden showroom,a lad i know did the same and had 15 cars in total on his property in the front side and 4 in the garage showroom,kept the costs well down that did.

 

that garage is boss

 

It is quite surprising what you can build without planning permission these days!!

 

Amazing garage - great build

 

its actually really weird, i had a dream about this garage last night LOL

 

looks awesome mate

 

ahh i probably know the guy you mean, the first house on the left? he normally has some nice cars knocking about!

if it is that guy, ive seem him working on a project in the garage loads of times and i cant for the life of me work out the car! looks like he is putting a V6 in it though? Can you shed any light on what it is? looks american maybe?

 

you planing on putting a gate between the front and back? to stop lookers in?

 

wow thts my dream house haha and you didnt need planning???

nice cars btw. awsome build

 

Nice but imho its massively narrowed any future selling potential of the house.

 

i was thinking the same at first, but maybe kez and big g dont wanna move?

Id love to move into a semi detatched house in a nice neigbourhood with a mint as fcuk garage instead of a overlooked borin backgarden

 

Top work mate!!
