Am building a 9x6 garage, am going to have toilet and shower and a wood heater, any other advice/fittings would u suggest?
Will be two roller door with a removeable mullion, is there anything u would add? or any other advice/suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Couple pieces of U bent re-bar strategically set into the concrete (even below surface in hollowed out area so you dont stub your toe)for locking down big valuables. I've seen them also placed at end of each bay to hook those cheap winches to to pull trailers, vans etc into place without breaking your back.
Plenty of power sockets, a wifi repeater or data cabling for the computer, phone
Strong Cupboards set high and off the floor, storage in the roof space
Optional bright white lighting. Amazing how hard it can to see in the shed these days
A reinforced section in the roof to hang an evap air cond
Smooth concrete, easier to sweep and resist oil staining, also pushing bike around on those trolley / lifts
Separate space off to one side for good tools, bench / bench grinder / polisher / drill press / vice.
Wall mounted flat screen TV preferably near the bar. A small fridge
Power roller doors
Good luck and post pics of your man cave
Yep too small. If you have the space go bigger. You can never have enough space. My man cave is 8m x 12m under the house and still too small! bugger. Double power points on or near every wall stud. And if possible, have a double sliding door on one side with a covered bbq area attached. Bewdy Newk!
Depends really on what you intend to do in your garage.
"Toilet,shower and woodheater" Almost makes it sound like you want to get away from the missus, least you didn't list a bed.
Agree with the other blokes, make it as large as you can. Sheds have a habbit of filling up quick.
40 amp power point for a welder.
Oh, don't forget a Whirlybird on the roof, great to remove condensation.
A mezzanine level for storage and plenty of insulation in the walls and roof.
Yep, 3 phase power.
Separate woodwork section, metalwork section, clean mechanical section. 8 ball table, dart board, shooting range. High pressure water blasting section (karcher etc),cribb room. Overhead hoist for pulling engines out of cars. good dust and fume extraction set up.
Mmm, sheds.
So much more fun than houses.
Thanks for the suggestions so far, great stuff, top advice and will be taking them on board, budget going up but if u r guuna do it, do it right.
TV / stereo and a beer fridge maybe a few tools. "Build it and they will come"
You also need a comfortable Chair.
Something like this one perhaps?
