How wide is yours !!!!

[dave tvr]

In my continuing search for a cerb, I'm now actually looking at the garage and wondering , will it actually fit? Length is fine ( so the wife tells me !! ) but it's the width?
I live in a new build house and the garage opening width is 214 cm. I think I'll be looking at pushing it in !

Hi Dave - Cerbera is officially 187cm wide. So it should go through the garage door opening. The Cerbie doors are quite long if the garage is narrow though.....

I have a new build, carpet on the walls, lines on the floor to guide me in, snug as a bug in a rug

This was one of my concerns when picking my new build. From the plans i have seen it will fit, Whether there will be any room to work on it is another question. Come the time the house is complete and i move it will be the first thing to find out. From what i know the garage size is approximately 5.9m long x 2.9m wide.

A Cerb is not particularly wide, however you do need a lot of room to get out of one, much more than most cars. I may be wrong, but I don't think any car has longer doors than a Cerb.

I am the expert here. My garage door opening is only 200cm wide. It does go in but care is needed. As UKK says...doors are long, so window down and carpet on the wall and lube up in baby oil will help you slither out!

No st ! Houdini lives.
Man Maths - So that allows a clearance of 13 cm which allowing for a parking slightly to the left meaning you must exit from a gap of about 10cm or less. I suspect you actually live in the car and food is passed through a hatch.

You don't need any clearance inside the garage if you push it in. I have aiming marks on the path, park on the marks then push in. I can do this in a 2.1m garage with two bikes on one side and a compressor on the other.

I think it'd be fair to assume that his garage is wider than the door aperture

Correct...add about another foot, maybe - still slithery!

PAH! - I give you the 2 metre version!

I also live in a new build house with the garage opening width at 214 cm max! there are two small strips of metal that protrude from the bottom upwards for about 40cm...... you'll have no problem.

Once inside it's a case of seat fully back and window down, unless you put a little lock on once inside.

I've got a short clip somewhere of me trialing some video editing software, vid was not shot specifically to show how to drive in/out of a garage I'll add it later.

This is all brilliant news ! I didn't want it to live outside,
Thanks
