Just bought my first house, will plaster board the whole garage out, spot lights, tiled floors and kitchen units at the back for storage.

I'm just starting work on building a new garage - we knocked the old structure down this weekend and will start laying the new foundations this week.

Anyone got any tips of things they wished they had done when building a new garage?

Plans include pit with good lighting, scissor lift and air compressor for tools.

Are the dangers of a pit worth the cost/effort of building/digging one over getting a better lift?

The height is marginal for a proper 2 post lift, and it would take up a lot of space. I grew up in a house with a pit, and all my neighbours and builder have them, so should be straightforward to build. I'm aware of the dangers, but will make sure there is a way in / out at each end of it.

I'd have the pit central and closer to the door.

Not sure if this has been posted before but there is a nice "man" house on Frank Knight at the moment which has

cinema
indoor swimming pool
bar
Table tennis and American pool, table footbal and arcade room
Shooting range shoot (in the house of course so you don't get wet).
Helipad
Tennis court
Squash court because everyone has a tennis court.


So given all this, what's his garage like? Worthy of on here, or falls at the last hurdle?

scroll through the pictures and be the judge

Worthy or not worthy?

Look at that sunset !
Nice ??

Tacky as hell, too american. Taste is not for sale...etc.etc.
+1. Shows money doesn't buy taste. Dreadful pastiche 'classical' design. Like the garage though biggrin
Quite. That's not a garage, it's a car room.

Here's mine. Clearly not the best in here by a long shot but it's my first house so it does me well for now.

I've got an e30 touring project that sits in there during the summer and a Westfield in the winter.

Sadly it's a little too short for any of the other cars!





One day... I'll have a bit more space and a ramp or two! cloud9

That is looking really good!

Were the internal dimensions based around the cabinets?

Just under 6m deep by 5m width. The cabinets were bought through costco saving quite a bit on buying them direct. It will get more bits added but it's just been built so pretty minimalist if at the minute.

It's not much of a garage if you don't have to move several things to get out what you went in for
