I have installed a normal pvc front door having removed the roller door a while back. Because my garden slopes down to the house my garage is quite high in comparison. At two sides it's way above the ground level. The back is at least 4ft of concrete slab. At the right it is at ground level and...

What do you mean a slab for the floor? As in the concrete slab it's already sitting on? I have this down with rubber floor tiles on it then half of it has lift flooring above this as well.

Thanks guys. You've been a great help. I'll let you know how i get on.

So if i build a frame on the inside what's to stop the heavy sections of walling from collapsing? I am assuming that a big part of the stability is the roof frame sitting over them but if a new roof is higher then what's giving them the strength to stop collapsing? Hope that makes sense.

I've just been speaking to my father in law (joiner) and he's said that he's sure he remembers being told never to drill through pre cast concrete garage panels like we would have to to attach a frame because apparently they're liable to crack badly which would affect the strength of the...

Thanks buddy. I will certainly take these points on. If i was say placing a new floor on battens would i just lay the visqueen over the concrete slab and then tape it to the walls? I am not 100% yet on how the wooden frame at the top would be attached to the wall panels. Would it need supported...

Thanks Phil. Would the stud wall need bracketed onto the existing sectional walls or would i have timber posts from the floor level up? The roof just now is slightly sloped but asbestos sheets so I'll look at the sheets you've mentioned above. The visqueen is a good shout as some of the damp...

I had actually decided to take it down and build another but thought I'd ask here first. If it is a timber one i build i can do all the work myself as my father in law is a retired joiner so he'll help me and keep me right. The apex roof idea i thought of but was scared it would put pressure...

Hi Guys, I converted my external sectional garage into a photography studio and for the first months everything was fine but since last winter it's been a nightmare. I floored it with rubber mats and used chipboard loft flooring for half of it with white vinyl which worked well. The issues i...

I have thought about using sleepers as a base for a driveway for a while now and couldn't find too much information regarding their suitability. I know they are tough enough but wondered whether they are too slippery when wet to be safe. My driveway would be slightly sloped so unsure whether...
