Your Narowest driveway / garage

[nick200]

Just wondering who else is suffering with narrow driveways/garages.?

Looking at moving house, and many houses with side acess seem to have the same restriction and wanting a garage this becomes an issue !

Current situation is drive past side of house into a carport which then opens out and have lots of room then. But driving past house is about 2.3m width , bricks one side concrete posts the other hence not very forgiving ! Number of cars to go down there, all around 1.9m width.

Yep that is a proper narrow drive !!!

The diablo looks a 'snug' fit too, I guess without scissor doors no chance of getting out either.

Like the laser dot guiding idea and the dropped ropes, any more ideas like this ? I did wonder about using a line of 45degree fence posts fixed on the floor so you would feel when your going of course, bit like a thing called containment kerbs - like you see in public places, to stop people mowing down pedestrians if you fall asleep....

No need for all that nonsense! Our garage is big (just under double size but only one door) but there isnt much room for the car
Ive got a bit of 2x2 wood stuck to the floor with no nails for the front left wheel, soon as I touch that I know its time to stop, then the front of the car is 2" from the shelving and about 12" behind it

Your garage looks like it has zero gravity ....

I see what you mean about having 2x2 stuck to the floor so you know when to stop , but the issue is driving down a narrow driveway - its very easy for the angle of the car to go off, hence you almost end up wedging yourself.

If its just two posts to get through like the traffic calming things I reckon you could do it within a few cm, but driving down a coridoor is tricky !
