Carpeting Walls for 996

[DJFish]

Was wondering if anyone could do me a favour and let me know where I need to put carpet on my garage wall to avoid dinging the door of a 996?

Just in case I happen to buy one in the next couple of days.

Cheers
Dave

(Thanks to the Mod who filled in the title by the way, don't know what happened there....)

How long & wide is your garage?

I have something similar to http://www.henderson-garage-door-centre.co.uk/prod... the Bumpbuster pad which I put on the wall about where the door opens to on the wall.

I just stuck some carpet on the wall like many.

Thanks for the suggestions chaps, I spent the day chasing spiders around the garage with a Vax and relocating junk to my wife's potting shed so it had a car in it for the first time in years! (should give you an idea of size also)

I suppose if the door is low enough one of the rubber pad things from Halfords would work, but as you can see from the pic there's a bit of render sticking out ready to take a chunk out of a hastily opened door so I'll have to investigate further.
I really wanted to get it all done today so it's ready just in case, plus I have a bit of carpet already so it'd be free.....

Anyway, all I need now is a 911.....................

It really depends on how far you reverse into the garage - or am I missing something?

Well there's a 20cm gap either end of a 996 (@4435mm) with the garage doors closed and I've got about a metre and a half of carpet so I just need a rough measurement of the centre of the door, but I'd rather have the open door exactly bisecting the carpet because I'm strange.

I resisted the temptation to reply earlier....but you must have carpet on the wall & the floor (yes really)as you will splend plenty of time in the garage when you have one - its also a great talking subject amongst SWMBO's friends & some of my mates are now heading down the same route

I quite like the idea of tiles but I suspect the slab has been bodged, like the rest of the additions to the house, with a poor or non existent damp proof membrane so that might not be possible.

Is that a poster of Bin laden on the left wall

[DJFish]

Yes, complete with a few bullet holes, a souvenir from the las Vegas Gun store.
My wife wasn't keen on having it up in the dining room.

Get a few layers of nice shiny red garage floor paint down!
