My garage is still in a bit of a mess with stuff sitting on the floor but managed to get it a little tidier today and squeeze two cars in there! Still a bit or room left too.....View attachment 126766
I wish I had the room for something like that

Good size garage @Lyons I feel your pain,I've still **** lying everywhere in mine.Made a (very) small start tonight, I built 1 of 3 shelving bays i got. I only threw stuff up on it to get it off the floor, it'll be organised better when I deal with the rest of the mess. But I'm happy it's made a little dent in the floor space anyway!

Don't you ever take that sport out as I have yet to see it or hear it passing my house.

I do like the c2's but the ph2 clio's have aged so much better.
How do you spec the retaining wall? I'd like to level my garden and it'd need a wall, but I've no idea what has to be put in? I assume you need a stronger wall for say a driveway than just holding a garden back?

I went non-insulated and it does be a bit cold in the winter but like a greenhouse in the summer!
The one I went for comes with a frame which you level on the ground and pour the concrete inside, the garage is then bolted to the frame. It's a really good job, my dad and I built it in a few days.
It came from this company - Steel Sheds and Garages Ireland, Northern Ireland, Shed Price List.
I specced the wall as well as I could to ensure it will never give any issues. I think it may be overkill but didn't want to take any chances.
Basically it's a deep & wide found (900mm wide x 400mm deep from memory) with steel mesh and uprights placed into before pour.
Then the wall is a hollow 9" block with the steel continued up through the hollows. And then all the cells are backfilled with concrete. It is as close to a monolithic concrete wall as possible without shuttering and pouring etc.
There are also dry assembled specific retaining wall systems available - google Alan block or Tobermore Secura which may do your job ok. Any more info needed give me a shout!
Great info - Cheer.
Yeah I have a quote off that crowd already.
My main issue is deciding on insulated or not.
Do you ever have any condensation problems? or does the steel "creak" in the sun?
Sorry for all questions
Aye the class the club would be it is a bit hard for a fwd car.I love the 182 but it's not down to what's aged better for me, it's solely down to what class I can run in in sprints and how much I can build a competitive car for, C2 just works ;-)

1600 class is easier to build for, brutally competitive class tho.
I'm building for the road-going class though so it's a wee bit easier to build a competitive car in that class.
Definitely get it out, would love a look around it!Must get a nose some day paul, Might get the saxo down to a few events next year. now i hope ive the fuel system sorted... lol
I've got them in my garage, but haven't had a car on them. Wouldn't imagine it'd be any problem at all thoughHas anybody used the R-tek dark grey textured tiles for a garage? They ok to park a car on?

My blank canvas. Built in single block. Flat roof. Good concrete floor. Power and heat. Just not sure on what next.
Will insulate the roof between the supports. Run plenty of cables to where I would need power and lights. Then plasterboard and plaster the roof. And plaster walls. I'm not so keen on insulating walls simply because it then means I can't screw into solid brick should I then wish for solid fixing. The roller door will always be a cold spot and draughty too so makes me question putting huge effort into insulation
Decisions.
