Meh… I think he should go the whole hog and fit a turntable like so many Tokyo garages have! Have it as a lifting turntable, fit a sliding roof and have the trees outside fold out of the way - anything can happen in the next 30 minutes! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 The 6m is the external length too, so it’s actually closer to 5.7m by the time the wall thickness is taken into account. If I can squeeze a few more inches in I will, but the boundary is a bank that will need supporting and a drain at the bottom. Discussions with the council have flagged a few building standards issues but hopefully nothing insurmountable. I will likely have to remove the windows from the rear wall though, or change the cladding to a non-combustible type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted Sunday at 03:40 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 03:40 PM Today has seen the temporary shed get a floor and a door, so I have started moving stuff across in preparation for the big one coming down. I also re-purposed the old hot tub power supply to give me a couple of sockets in there, for use on the build. Once everything is moved across it’s on with dismantling the big garage. Current plan is roof off first, then cladding/insulation and finally the frame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Silly suggestion but do you have enough space to reverse a vehicle long the front of the shed so you can drive in at the gable end (hot tub)? Might give you the headroom for a lift then? You could still keep the double doors on the front because you could drive over the middle of the lift to park a vehicle there normally (unless you fancied sinking it into the slab like an MOT test bay.

Could be a two-poster mounted between the doors then so it’s not in the way of using the doors normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted Wednesday at 08:28 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 08:28 AM Yes I would have space but I won’t be going down the lift route so no benefit to rearranging things like that. It would also mean I couldn’t use the space to the side of the workshop for lean-to storage and garden shed etc. which is the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
