The 'old' garage was less that 1M from the boundary Fence to neighbour. Shocked

The new one will be 2m away (so I can keep the trailers (or more Landrovers down the side) For this reason we are now pushing into the garden a little and having to build a retaining wall and other items that has turned the job a tad bigger Smile

Well not so much a shed but Si did make a carport to enclose his lift next to the shed at home. In everyday use his vehicles could be parked undercover and if he wanted to work on them the carport went up with it so even if it rained he could stay dry underneath.


Thumbs Up

Is there anything online about this?

We are now looking at leveling the garden and installing a sink hole given we have come this far.... so the garage build is creating a few extra jobs on the way Shocked

Rolling with laughter

Over lockdown we put a big base down for a shed/workshop and sorted the drainage.. we are waiting until next year when we have spare cash to put a real sturdy shed in. In the meantime I did an ‘old shed makeover’ kinda.
