Hi,
I am looking for advice on building a garage.
It will be 5 metre x 6 metre as thats the largest I can go without building and planning permision(floor area max 30 mtr), it will be 2 metre high walls. The base wil be higher than the ground and the land slopes slightly.once the base is done I will put a concrete slope into the garage door (maybe 2 single doors)
There is currently a shed in the space which has power so that will be the power for the garage.
Unfortunatly getting a builder to do this is not an option due to cost so I have to do it myself.
The garage is over 30 metres from the house(or any house)
1/ I need to do the base so need to know what depth and kind I should do. Will a few inches of concrete be enough or do I need it deep under the walls ?
2/ I intend to build with the wide 200mm hollow concrete blocks so that I only have to build the one skin which should save on time and make a sturdy construction. (and render the outside when done)
Will I need to put strengthening bars in of any kind ? and how many rows can be layed in a day ?
3/ The roof I would like to put a tiled roof on but that could change if finances wont stretch to it. Will this make any difference in the building of the walls ?
Thanks for any advise.
