Nice. Care to share where the cabinets/workbench is from?
Its the Sealey range, cant remember where exactly I got them from but there are loads of deals online. Shop around, there often some serious discounts on certain configurations.https://www.tradecounterdirect.com/sealey-apmsstac...
Extracted from the main 'Who's got the best garage' thread
Not up to the standard of some of the garages/showrooms on this thread, but this is mine.
It's a detached large single garage, and I assume it's the same age as the house at circa 110 years old. The garage is for the weekend car only, there are a couple of brick outhouses set behind for garden stuff and wood.
The garage was empty apart from dust, lots of dust when we moved. Over the last couple of months, between other house things I've done:
- Got all the dust and other st off the floor and walls
- sanded and oiled all the exposed wood
- wire brushed the brickwork down
- PVA'd the walls
- made a bench
- made a car cleanings stuff storage unit out of one found in an outhouse
- laid foam jigsaw tiles
- fixed rubber to the walls at door openings, and
- laid leftover jigsaw tiles on the mezzanine for hardtop storage.
Pleased with it, not the biggest garage but I can walk around the car and get in and out easily... well, as easy as possible to an Elise with the roof on!

We also have a detached 2.5m wide garage. With a 1.8m wide car it's essential to have everything wall mounted or on high level shelving to leave enough space to walk round it. It helps that we also have a floored attic space for less regularly accessed items. I can work under the car easily enough but there's not enough width to remove wheels without risking back injury or hernia.
