Question about old garage

[ScottishGasMan]

Hey all, just bought a house which I dont get for a few weeks yet, but trying to work out some stuff in advanced.

It had a garage which I assumed was brick built, but on closer inspection when I knocked on the roughcast it sounded hollow,

And on inside it looks like its tall but thin (1 or two feet) sections of wall that are lined up together like the old prefab houses. Inside looking at roof it looks like asbestos profiled classing (in good nic) sitting on concrete horizontal beams/lintles

Question is what do you call that type of construction? and is it likely that the walls could bear much/any weight from something being fixed to them (ie a pull up bar for home gym?)

sorry but was dark and not got pics yet

just reading through other posts their and looks like Its a sectional concrete garage, so gonn ahave a look through some info for that,

Im assuming now that Id be better building a bit of a frame up to take the weight of something like a pull up bar.


BUT. . I had thought the concrete beams that run along the ceiling, I could drill a fixing into one of them for a pully (again for weight training on) but dont know what kind of strength they could take, beams were probably about 3 or 4 inch each side, 6 or 7 foot long, could they bear much weight or Im I looking at more frame building lol?

Your intended use will cause the garage to collapse.

Better fix up something that is free standing and self supporting.
