Me and a mate are thinking about renting out some space to store some odds & sods and more importantly a couple of cars each.

I've found somewhere on Rightmove that may fit the bill, but it's a bit of a trek. Before making arrangments to go a view it I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me how many cars would comfortably fit in a garage measuring 2260 sq ft as I haven't got a clue

TIA

You'd need to know the lengths and widths of the cars first before you can accurately call that.

alloy

Average car perhaps takes up 6ft x 13ft ....i reckon at least 20 motors with decent space spare....

Adidas

Understood, nothing bigger then a Scoob (in my case) and a MY89 911 (in his)

Adidas

Hmmmmmm.........interesting

billythekid

200m2.

Am I right in thinking the average parking space is 10m2? So 20 cars sounds about right?

mattstant

just checked alloy is close 2260 sqft = 209 sqm.
Parking space by definition of most local planning departments is 5m X 2.5m ie 12.5 sqm.
Therefore 16 vehicles,or if you stack them carefully with NO manouvering space ie door handle to door handle and bumper to bumper maybe 20 but this obviously assumes a clear square space

edit to add dont forget if this is agents details they probably will not allow properly for intrusions like supporting walls/columns etc

Maybe room for a couple of track day cars then

16.624.

Interesting

Maybe enough room for a Wagon & Type D And it's quite do-able from your little village

We can discuss this tomorrow if you like

The Zohan

plus the dimensions of the garage/space, not just the square footage.

Adidas

I understand

I've got a bit of time off next week so may have to go and view it, at the moment the only thing I've got to go on is a picture of the front of the place. It's not helped by the fact the front is obscured by a huge skip in the photo

Just spoken to the estate agent.

He says it's either 40 x 60 or 50x 50. Given the size of the doors I hazarding a guess that it's the former rather then the latter

Stu, I'll trade you the info for an oil filter

what would scooby do

If you are filling it with zoobru's then you can crush them and get plenty more in.

youll be surprised how many youll get in, with a couple of ramps in youll get a few more

we had to bring in around 25 motors per night and then out again in morn.

that teaches you how to drive lol, absolute no room for error literally wing mirror to wing mirror, plus ther was a room off the main space we could squeeze 3 cars into, such a tight angle, reversing out was the worst part lol.

Stand them on end

DCI Gene Hunt

10 cars.... 2 bikes... and a few boxes

You also need to know if it has any support posts internally as that could stuff up your plans somewhat...

Mines 1500 sqft & I can cram in 10.

Must be almost enough room for a couple of double deckers in that one, assuming the roof is high enough.

By the looks of things if I tried to park a couple of double deckers in there, they'd soon me single deckers!!

Leslie

Well they are not very sporting anyway.

The old electric trolleybuses used to get off the mark pretty fast though. They had a very big flywheel which was kept spinning and when the clutch was engaged you would almost expect they could do a wheelie!

Lol - and electrocute the driver and passengers when it touched the cables!

Leslie

It was always entertaining watching the conductor putting the connectors back on the wires with a very long pole when they jumped off.
