Not fancy, but enough space for some bikes, homemade workbench on the left, with tools, beer fridge & sound system built in. Shelving on the opposite side and my new 2002. Cold beer, tunes and classic cars. It's a very happy place to be! In fact I'm going there now!
that must take a lot of no more nails to get the car like that laugh

Brick floors and ceiling and a side opening garage door next to that concrete wall ... Superb!

The best garage I know - 6 fire engines, an eclectic mix of about 35 cars, and some rare and interesting old bikes. Amazingly this is only about half the collection and only a fraction of the several hundred motorbikes. Highlights include a fully restored AJP Porcupine, Brough Superior with extremely rare side car and a Jaguar SS.

I feel bad, I dont have a garage or great cars. I do have a 09 swift sport with 38k on it and a 4 month old mt09 tracer.

I can't get a car to my door but I can get the bike in the front or back garden which I do plan a good man cave. Means replaing the bak fence but that the price I have to bear for omewere I can go and drink my beer without the other half relizing jut how much I drink.

You could try leaving the mats outside to 'air' for a while.

The life of the 'paint' will depend on what you used.
Acylic will need repainting regularly
Epoxy resin should last a long time if the floor was prepared properly before application.
The resin is much more expensive and usually thicker. It should not lift on hot tyres (F1 use it)
Many thanks for this and the other suggestions. Will start by trying putting them outside for a bit.

Superb. And at last, a 'proper' double garage door, I don't like these double single doors on a double garage ...

Flat roof as well ... Planning for the next level ...

This isn't a garage, it's a kill floor.

While I love this garage - wide, great door etc, I would have put a radius on that lawn on the corner, how you manage to not touch the grass with the tyres is a great achievement and you can have two much of a square thing ... !

Size-wise though (and the fact it hasn't got an immaculate tiled floor (ffs) - perfect.

Inspirational thread :-).

I used to have a completely empty and clear garage on a new build. Baby on the way means the house is no long a lads cave and the garage is now filled to the brim with sh!t :-).

A big trip to the tip/dump needed and then get the mini back in the garage.

Great projects gents!

Cheers

One day our 1200sqft 1850s brick and oak barn will have a doorway wide enough to fit a car through!

Darn those Victorians and their narrow horse and carts!

That looks fantastic, a little world away from the world smile love the slightly vintage feel of it.

Nice cars too.

Yep everyone needs one!

Thanks, someone once said one side is for turning heads the other is for turning corners. I'll leave it up to you to decide which side is which :-p
