PREFAB OR WOODEN GARAGE

Hi mate

I don't actually have a garage  :cry: but picking up on someting muddyjlx said about fixing to the walls. I have a 16'x8' wooden shed that I have put a Uni-strut frame inside. For those that have not seen it Uni-strut is a 3 sided steel box section with lipped edges on the open side, next time your in the likes of B&Q look up, it's the stuff all the services are sitting on. Anyway I have put a loop around the walls at floor level and the same at the roof with drops in the corners and few drops here and there to stop any deflection and allow cantilever arms to be attached for shelving. I also stuck some legs on to make a full length bench. Cost about £100 with all the fixings but well worth it, perfect for any shed or prefab.

Take a look at

It shows how I converted an eyesore shed/garage into something functional and more attractive.

I'd go prefab if you need security but timber is cheaper warmer and easier to adjust to your needs ie. benches shelves windows etc...

Mines breeze blocks with a slab base and bison and block roof (we use the roof as the back garden as we live on a hill 8)

Looks good mike very similar to the one I did but i put the sheet ply on the ouside of the frame then used breathable roofing felt to line the walls But only because we intended to convert to a chalet later. and we knew we'd need to insulate the cavities. Was that visqueen you used?
