You can get brushes for them. The one on mine has long bristles that flick easily over the ridges as the door rolls up and down. They come in long lengths 3, 4, 5 metres etc.

Toilet was the best addition to our garage, even for just being able to wash your hands without tramping back into the house
Maybe you’ve already stated this so apologies if you have and I’m being a lazy arse not searching through the thread
but what size is this garage if you don’t mind me asking? Keen to know length, depth and ceiling heights in particular - looks to be just about bang on on the first floor for conversion to a little separate annex if the need/want arose!? Thanks 
Opened the door of mine for the first time in 2 months or so. Have a bita time off coming up so will hopefully get a few more bits done 
Didn’t take an after picture but swept the floor out. Storm winds cleaned the cobwebs and and crap they’d caught from the peak rafters

it’s 12.125 x 6.5m inside. Ceiling is 2.5m
Yeah upstairs could easily be divided up with stud wall if you wanted down the line
Thanks! That is a great size. I had thought of going 9x7, might do no harm to throw on an extra metre or 2!

Would you not have been safer installing a sink for that?

And a sink lol
Yup this is it. Our downstairs toilet in the house is at the opposite side to the back door, so it’s a disaster with kids when they’re outside.

No theres not much space left at the sides at all lol, I think I have made the right decision with the size. The guys laying the base weren't so sure it would work but it did after abit of jigging. there is only one tight area that I am a wee bit concerned with but it will be grand, it's in now no going back lol

I want to get min sorted this year too, pain in the ass having to go to the house when your working on something.
I left all the pipework and everything under the stairs , will be tight enough but will do the job. Ended up loosing about 1200 off the garage because of the stairs.
If i was to do it again i would put an external staircase at the gable and keep it separate as its the wifes salon anyway.

I called him the day the base went down, he’s happy enough to build it after 3 weeks but I’ll keep the car out of it for the full month

I probably would have room for the 3 but i only put 2 doors in, so ended up a real comfortable 2 car garage and now i want an extension ..lol
