5.5m x 5.4m garage. Too small?

Walls clad and scaffolding for roof erected.

Steel beams and roof joists arriving Monday, hopefully.

[Blib]

After a couple of weeks downtime, while steel to the correct spec was produced, things leapt ahead today as half a dozen chaps got stuck in.

Steel in and roof joists in place. We have all we need to finish on site too.

Nice project, are you going two single doors or a double?

[Blib]

Two double doors.

Two double doors.

Any particular reason? A single double door would be easier for getting cars in and out

Maybe I'm not explaining myself clearly.

Our garage is to have two sets of wooden doors, either side of a concealed steel upright.

Here's an earlier iteration of the plan. Since then, the window has been deleted and the door sizes increased, as suggested by a poster on this thread. So, the gap between the sets of doors has decreased.



There's plenty of hard standing to enable adequate vehicular maouvreiseration!!!

While I'm here...... roof timber action.....

[Blib]

Shut down so very close to completion.

Oh well.

Dark weatherboarding looks good Must be frustrating having to pause your build - I'm very glad I had my garage built last year, what with all the rain this year and now being locked down!

[Blib]

It is frustrating, especially as the interior boarding is open to the elements.

However, in the whole scheme of things, this minor hiccup is of no importance whatsoever.

Looks like you have the tiles, so over to you....... ;)

The NHS has enough on its plate without me trying my hand at tiling the roof!!!

Ha, fair!

[AJLintern]

Maybe you could get some big tarps to throw over it and nail down to give some temporary protection?

[Blib]

That's a good idea.

[Blib]

Yesterday a tiler arrived. He completed 90% of the roof.

I'm so glad I went for 6.5m x 6.0m in the end. It's the perfect size for our needs.

The roof is, to all intents and purposes, finished. I thought I'd get up on the scaffolding to take a few photos before the scaffolding is removed midweek.

Looking good. And yes, perfect size for a double .

[AJLintern]

Looks like a quality job - glad you're able to make some progress
