5.5m x 5.4m garage. Too small?

[8-P]

Looks nicely wide enough with those 2 in it.

Looks good, though how long before you decide you could have done with a triple

I wanted a triple. Apparently, "We didn't need one".

This morning the garage doors received their final coats of paint. They're still drying.

The project is complete. Nothing more to see here.

That looks like it has always been there. I particularly like the dark timber doors

The thread title made me laugh as I am currently debating if the garage at the house I viewed yesterday is too small, and it's only 2m x 2.7m, as the kitchen has been extended. But it will only be used for working on a motorbike so I think it will be fine for now.

I'm pleased that we went with hardwood doors.

The plan was to have the garage fit in with local outbuildings. Lockdown meant we had to go with artificially aged roof tiles, rather than actual old ones, which would have matched the house.

But, needs must as we needed to weatherproof the garage and so couldnt wait for long enough to source the ideal tiles.

That looks fantastic. Do you have a cost breakdown that you could share?
Via PM is fine. We have a stable that is 7.4 metres wide by 6m deep that is on it's last legs but we do not have horses. We do have a couple of cars that do need stabling though.
Thanks in advance,

Difficult to give an accurate figure as the garage build cost was included with quite extensive work on the house.

However, I'd estimate a few quid over £25k, give or take.

Stuff was added (hardwood doors), which increased costs, while other stuff was deleted - (a large window), which reduced them.

THREAD RESURRECTION TIME!

Insulation question.

I'd like to insulate the garage and I have a couple of questions.



Foil over rafters, insulated plasterboard over rafters or insulation on A frame ceiling?

Thanks.
