I don't tend to take pictures of my garage so have had to search through lots of old images to try & find some ...
It's nothing exotic - just a 6m x 6m wooden garage - walls panelled with OSB boards & painted white & the concrete floor fitted with cheap vinyl tiles (B&Q sale) which make it easy to keep clean & don't seem to be affected by heavy trolley jacks, ramps, axle stands, etc
- I try to keep it tidy & the floor as uncluttered as possible:

Tiny picture to show space in garage for 356 arriving soon, might have to flog the Harley though.

It's not always this messy and the car just slips in once things are in their place.

12 years ago I applied to the council to build a triple wooden garage at the end of my garden.
They refused on account of interference to the radial root system of my giant Corsican Pine trees.
They allowed me a double instead. Nice having a complete stranger 'allowing' me what to do ?
I decided to disguise it as a summer house in keeping with the 1880's coach house.
I arranged the base and then a 6 man team from Warwick Buildings arrived at 8.00am and completed the garage and roof by 5.00PM.
I was, and still am impressed. A bargain for £7k all in and it's still in good nick.
Council bloke probably did me a favour as the more space you have - the more junk you collect.
