jimboy2 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Saving for my Dura garage... Love Jason Plato's mancave. www.duragarages.com/inspiration-gallery/ Some of those are lovely. Can only dream of having something like that. My leaky asbestos roof will have to do for now. Not that I can get the zed anywhere near it at the moment! Bet the prices of those are eye watering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm 5k should do for a start 😱 You can get a four poster ramp for around 2k attach the roof to it if headroom is an issue and the roof will raise up with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnymonno Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My Zed bed is almost ready, the pit was the hardest part to do but glad I put one in now.

Sam Mcgoo Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Would love to do a pit, not sure how difficult it would be to dig though, whether I could get a digger in there with the roof etc. I'll have to have a google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been googling it myself . Problem seems to be if you need planning permission or not as technically you're changing the structure if anything runs through where you want it. Apparently you'd never get planning permission as the eu have banned new ones as so many people got gassed under them by running the engine over them. Not sure on the accuracy on either point though as it is only forums I've found information on so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Problem seems to be if you need planning permission or not you certainly don't need planning permission but not sure regarding building regs ... Ioneabe will advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Who is ever going to check? Not sure I'd even worry about it. Worst case scenario you fill it in before you sell, someone else's problem then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's actually pretty light inside, the photo doesn't do it justice. But you're right, there's masses of work to be done on it. Subject to planning, I want to extend it to the left to double it, then install a pit. Chances are you might not need planning permission, (or building reg approval if under 30 square metres) This link might help: http://www.planningp...dings/miniguide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Here's a pic of my new garage "during". Hopefully when I get back from France on Friday it will be significantly further on . Edited May 26, 2015 by Lexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads acting out at a 45 degree angle must be taken into consideration as you go down below the footings for the pit, if that makes sense. Building control are very particular about this sort of thing but as Dan says if it is retro fitted and a bit of common sense applied to constructing it, I can't see a problem.

evilscorp Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Having to hold off building my new one. . . as the car is immobile stuck in the old one =/ hope to get my big play pen built in July also gives me a deadline to get the car back together. Liking the ideas as at the moment all I know is it will be 5m wide by 8.7m long with eves 2.4m high. The rest is all pooling in the back of my head so keep this thread going! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
