Hi,
I want to extend my garage so i can fit a car in and still use it. My first thought is to extend the length and fit a door at the end so the car fits in the first part, and the end is used as a garage. Anyone had anything simialr done, thoughts experiences, PHOTOS etc, please.

Dont you just hate English garages, only enough room for a car, nothing else.

 

What sort of garage do you have (brick, slabs, etc)?
I've got a sectional garage which had an extra couple of sections fitted to the lengh and measures about 9ft x 18ft - room for a saloon and units at the back

 

Traditional brick.
Here's a photo.

Chap called Buzz did exactly this - have a look in DIY for the thread.

 

Maybe a carport type extension might be better and cheaper, not hard to fix up.

 

Maybe build onto the back and fit a door linking the 2 from inside so 1 is a workshop and the other is for the car?

 

Carports look ugly imo, but thanks for the suggestion.

 

I think building on the back is the only option (or simplest). Instead of a door wouldn't it be better to have a large opening. You'd need a side door at the end though or else you'd have to squeeze the lawnmower past the car etc.

 

How long ago, i've searched the first 10 pages, but cant find it.

 

I looked at a house the other day where there sidegarage had been extended to take 3 cars and still have room for workshop at the end
