Who has the best Garage on Pistonheads?

[TheLordJohn]

As it's in Surrey, I can't even afford your garage, never mind the house.
But be so kind to stick a link up...

Thanks

Wish I'd tried harder at school.

I presume you don't need to go to the gym on the way home from work as the walk up from the garage is sufficient!

these are electric remote roller doors...

Appreciated, suspect they all are!

Looking to do the same and hide the mechanism behind the oak.

Although I already have a 911, I am absolutely no where near even having a deposit for this house.
If you ever need an apprentice for what you do, let me know please...!

Sod the house, the wife could have that, I'd just live in the garage ....

Not that I could afford either.

No pictures of the big selling point, the inside of the garage and what's above it. While the decking looks nice you can't tinker with a car on it.

Agents rarely seem to bother. We viewed a few places where the agents didn't even have keys to the garages. They were generally places where the garage was a selling point (to me at least). Very frustrating.

Have the same door I believe.



Internals look like above.

Few points:
- Black is often not warranted.
- Remember to sort internal switch prior to install.
- Only go for car lighter switch if you have another means of exiting garage.

Fair points well made. Not really wanting a pic on web of contents of man cave above the garage

Thanks for the reply, a few questions;

- why's black not warranted?
- when you say internal switch you mean for the electrics? My preference is for manual doors, though unsure if you can get them
- when you say car cigarette lighter you mean the key fob for the electric door, do they fail often then - if I was forced to go electric?

Thanks

- Black is not warranted by Hormann due to heat issues when in direct sunlight. Was not asked to sign a disclaimer re this though, but know it was said at point of ordering.
- You just need a plug point placed top left of door inside.
- Bought 2xremotes to go in car cigarette lighters. Should have thought it through, as my garage only has the garage door as an exit so the standard key ring remote is required whenever car placed in garage.

Thanks again for the reply.

That's an odd one re not being warranted, what's a garage door cost circa £1k, and they don't warranty!

I assume the plug in ones automatically open as you approach or something? My preference is manual doors, I've experienced a variety of issue with auto doors in the past and can't really be doing with them! A lot of hassle for little benefit is my feeling.

It's nice to be able to press a button and drive into your garage when it's pissing with rain.
