    Time for another garage project

This will mean the concrete floor can be put down undercover. Form work was 9x2" planks and basically anything else I could find, going 8" deep...

    New metal barn shop... Horsepower ranch!

    wow.. great space you got there, wish the specialist suppliers of metal garages over here could do something different like yours, all they do is a box with duo pitch. I wanted a mono-pitch on mine.. "NO sorry, not set up for that design" was the reply.

    Using Paving setts instead of concrete

    worked out some costs and concrete would be cheaper and speedier to do. At least I'll be guaranteed a better quality of concrete finish when there will be a roof and sides around it while pouring and finishing the surface

    Using Paving setts instead of concrete

    Has anyone ever used concrete paving setts for their garage floor instead of a concrete slab. I'm erecting a 9mx6m steel box section and cladding structure, then put the roof on it. This will allow me to decide whether to use a concrete slab or paving setts as the finished surface. The...

    Weather here has been very damp and progress on the build slow, but have made all the frames up in readiness to be bolted down. Has anyone ever used concrete paving setts for their garage floor instead of a concrete slab. I'm thinking of forming a ring beam to allow the frames to be bolted to...

    Time for another garage project

    Thought i'd post a pic of our collection, although the e30 sport, massy 35, ferguson t20 and a mini clubman are missing. The bus, lorries and tractors are housed in a different shed. Would love them all under one roof, but cant see that happening

    Time for another garage project

    I'm in need of more storage space for my classic cars, as they are parked in the garage used for everyday work and they really need a purpose made garage for them. I've been a collector / restorer of the old mini for a number of years and although i've sold a few I've held onto three models. Now...

    kert's 30x60
