Anything above a typical 8' wall I would go with a 2x6. My last garage had a 2x4x10' walls and lets say they were a little flimsey, not that it was going to come down or anything but when I closed the door you could feel it move a little. If on a strict budget go with 2x4, if you have the...

Exact dimensions of my old garage, the only thing I would have done differently is made it 42-43'deep, when putting 2 cars in one bay it dosen't give you much(if any) room in the back to put tool chests or other stuff against the wall. My new garage is 42' deep which should be just enough. I...

I did the tire thing also, had some extra pieces of 2x8 and made a platform about 3'x4' , cut up a old tire and nailed it to the bottom making a rubber base, then lagged the compressor to the platform. Mine isn't bolted to the floor, just free standing.

Its the Epoxy-Coat kit, www.epoxy-coat.com Just one coat and your done, has a nice shiney reflection when your done.

First I would like to thank everyone that posted before me their experiences and tips doing an Epoxy floor, very helpful info and I knew just what to expect while doing my floor. My new garage is just under 1000sq ft so I ordered 2 kits which was just enough. Finally had a decent day on Sunday...

Had the same problem myself here in PA but got a decent day Sunday- hi 50* and fairly low humidity so I said screw it and tried it. I let the heater run the entire night before but it was still cool in the garage when I started 40-50*. Everything seemed to go fine ,I hope :bowdown: Floor is...

So you would say to thin it out a little with the colder temps? Just ordered my kit and am in the same boat with temps between 40-65. Will probably start next week sometime as I just got done etching it last weekend now waiting for the kit to show up in the mail.

I'm in the same boat as you, nice new shiney floor that I need to scuff up this weekend. I'm also going with Epoxy-Coat, what color did you go with? Post pics and how the procedure went.

My last house I built a 40x40, everybody including my wife thought I was crazy and didn't need anything that big. Within 5 yrs it was packed with "stuff" 5 cars, tools, kids toys, ect ect. Always build as big as you can afford to. At my new house I was restricted to 1000sq ft garage:( so I...

What was the deal they gave you? I'm looking at getting the same setup 'but maybe the Pro Park 8' and picking it up also.

Just found it and Love this site, will have plenty of questions soon. Couple of pics of my new 24x42 garage, just got the roof on:thumbup: 12' high walls, cathederal ceilings.

From a resale value I personally lost money on the garage when we sold our last house. It was a 5yr old detached 40x40 with cathedral ceilings, 2 post car lift, heated, ect. I easilly had about 40k(with me doing alot of the work) into it but it only seemed to add about 20-25k to the value of...
