Anyone got any advice on garage doors? What are the pros / cons of the up and over style vs the roller shutter type?
I would agree that the standard up and over doors are not the best at keeping the outside well outside. As you end up with a gap all the way round and as been said they take up room as they open.

I have just moved house and started to tidy up the garage, but was over the moon to find the garage was fitted with a electric sectional door from these guys www.hormann.co.uk it is insulated and when closed is totally sealed, so well in fact that when I pressure washed the outside of the door no water got into the inside of the garage smile

Updated with a sign, some colour, tunes, and a new bike.

Not sure there is anything left to do really!

I've been thinking I'll stick a photo up on here when my garage is done, but as I'm two years in and it isn't done yet thought I'd stick one up now. Firstly, this isn't the best by a country mile, but has been done on a shoestring budget. The big extravagence being having the walls and ceiling plastered.

It was a plain rectangular double when I started, but I stole a bit off the utility room to make the alcove for the sink at the back. Hardest job was laying the floor myself.

Strange bands in the pic because I used panoramic mode.

Has yours not been on a few too? Pretty sure I've seen it on a couple, though I could be wrong.

Nope. I've owned it since the DVLA sold it years ago.
Only been on our Audi S6 and then the Lambo.
There was another one "E1VVL" that another PHer had on an R8 for a while, then put it up for sale. Not sure where that is now though!

I saw that Lambo in Colchester a couple weekends ago. Sounded great in slow moving traffic. Guy behind the wheel looked a bit serious mind.

Sure is! It rips out 15 or 16hp on a fresh tank of red with a splash of Millers Ecomax. Without 4x4 it would be untameable. biggrin

Nice! Expensive but worth it. Looked after it'll last forever. Bet you've got hydrostatic drive too. I've got a 6 speed non-synchro manual gearbox to wrestle with.

It is good, replaced an Iseki, not hydrostatic, it's a 900cc triple cylinder diesel pushing out the full 16hp, 3 speed gearbox and clutch, rear PTO, and switchable 2 or 4wd!

Was admiring this today. It really is a thing of beauty. (The car, although the garage is nice!)
