Not too sure matey but Uldis recently built a fairly large double garage.

Might be an idea to get in touch with him!? :idea:

Did a search a while ago to see how much it would cost for a garage and seem to remember it'd be about £5k for a large single concrete one.
(Have since bought a house with a 29 foot long garage so I don't need one anymore! :D )

There are plenty of places that sell and install. Just google search for timber garage.

This one for example

BMW 335d Touring F31- Fastest car on the road
MINI Cooper 1.5- More fun than the BMW

Don't forget to check for appropriate base material, I suggest you google for "international hardcore" very cheap!

Rich

We are going to convert the annexe at the back of the house into a Garage.

It is absolutely ideal, 20' x 30', wooden floor, double glazed, heated, just needs the end granite wall having a 10ft x 7ft hole putting in, and an electric roller door fitted.

Can we get a builder to come along and have a look?

Can we f**k.

Thanks guys, I like the look of that big timber / pitched roof number, that would be just the job. Would have posted back sooner but took Ritch’s advice and have been busy since Friday morning.

I’ll have a look round but don’t like the idea of parting with £6k for a single and presumably £10k for a double. I could live with that if I was planning to stay in the house for the rest of my days but on a five year plan it’s a bit extravagant since I don’t think it would put value on the house. I had been half thinking that a timber version which bolts onto the concrete slab could come with me to where ever we go next but that’s probably a bit fanciful.

Tut, I’ll lend you a Stihl saw. All you need is a gallon of petrol and a bit of perseverance. Don’t worry about all that RSJ nonsense, it’ll hold. :wink:
