Hi all, I've been on here a while, recently moved to the US from the UK. I'm looking at building a 75 ft by 30ft garage and I've had a local quote in NC for $33k for a delivered and build shed. Questions are, the building would be a box tube type frame, tek screwed together. Is that the normal...

Hi all, I'm about to do the electrics on my garage, for a year I've been making do without hard wired electrics but its about to change: I'd like to consider ideas for low level lights, to help light up the under/sides of cars while being worked on. I also have Smarthings and Alexa in the...

Hi guys, UK based but I'm looking to prep my slab now for paint. I should have acid etched the slab before the garage was built but it is on now, all finished and comprises of painted metal cladding panels - which I'd rather not eat away with acid at this stage. Is there an acid type that is...

Hi guys, I'm finding it hard to decide on the epoxy colour I should go for in my garage. Goosewing Grey RAL 10A05 seems a good middle ground. The garage will be used for working in, so not just a park and shine area. I don't want anything overly dark but something that will hide scratches...

Hi guys, From the UK here, I'm trying to find a decent Squeegee for epoxy flooring, and im struggling a bit. Can you advise what I need to look out for when it comes to the blade - there seem to be a lot of them targeted towards hygiene but not towards epoxy application. Thank you. Jon

Hey guys, You've helped me out here over the past few months (limited post but they have been golden advice), I've recently started my build and this is where I am at currently... The garage is a 13.5m x 8m and just under 5m to the ridge with a 7 degree roof. Hot rolled steel frame and 60mm...

Hi guys :) Since I last posted, I've decided on and submitted plans for a garage. 8M x 13.5m x 3.8 to the eaves. Here is a little photo of what it will look like. The method of securing the up and over steel frame to the ground will be 8 large concrete pads. The pads will be poured. Frame...

Hi all, :) Could those on here comment on this layout please. Improvements, changes you would make etc. Project area over to the left. This is 40ft x40ft in size. I do not want to go any larger than this due to plot restrictions and costs. Thanks :)
