Always put a big RSJ across mine to fix my hoist to

Thought you might have used cloaked verge tiles James

I take your point Rob, but I'm using standard tiles on the verges to match the detail on the house. 

spotted that proper job so it matches the house mind you its nearly bigger than the house

There's no 'nearly' about it! 

Did you have any problems with planning permission?

Doubt it.Its Norfolk - the woman in charge of planning is his uncle.

Ha ha ha!! Spat my tea oooot!

Rules quite relaxed these days, you can get extensions done without any need for permission if under certain % of land used

[aaronjb]

Aye, but twiglet would have needed planning for this due to the 5m ridge height alone (max height without planning is 4m to the ridge if it's more than 2m from the boundary, 2.5m total height if within 2m of a boundary)

His neighbour has a luvverly plywood shed

So the fact that this has bricks and everything, and has obviously had alot of thought applied to the details and the entire project, planning should have been a mere formality

The fact that Twiglets uncle is the woman in charge of planning can only help matters Although that said Albs, her twin runs immigration,  so be careful if you find yourself heading north on the A140

No problems at all.  It got passed without even going to committee.  Both adjacent neighbours supported the application, and the were no objections, not even from the parish council.

Considered this, and even got a good price through a firm I use at work.  But by the time I'd paid for the RSJ, and then bought the slider and hoist, I decided it would be much cheaper to by an engine crane.  This will be more practical for me, because I can move it around the garage or even stick it in the back of the car if needed.

Yep, maximum ridge height of 4m, and total maximum floor area of 30m2.  I just didn't feel this would be big enough, so I went for planning. 

However, the shed I'll be building behind the garage will fit within these limits.

I kept mine under the limits - I didn't think there was any way Bracknell council would agree with an application, especially as half the garden was sold off in 2005 with a huuuge house built on it and the fella at No. 8 is an odd one who hates everyone..

no one will ever see the shed any way theres a bloody great house garage in front of it

For those of you having trouble with the muck falling out on your verges. The father in law has just had something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Dry-Verge-Kit-Brown-Grey-Includes-16-Left-and-Right-Verges-/281059997883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item41707b38bb installed.

I will keep an eye on it for a couple of years and will then probably follow suit.

Nice garage by the way 

[Marie]

Looking good wish i had the space for a garage that size.

Unless i buy next doors off them now there is an idea 

[twiglet]

UPDATE:

We finally got a long awaited break in the weather last Friday!  So on Friday we got the verge tiles bedded on and the verge details done....





 

Then over the weekend I laid the majority of the tiles, leaving a 'T' to allow access for laying the ridge tiles...













Even managed to rope my dad into doing some labouring for me! 



This is what it looked like on Monday morning...



More to come... 

[twiglet]

On Monday, we got all the ridge tiles bedded, and laid the last of the tiles, filling in the 'T' as we came down.  We also built up the brickwork at the front of the garage.  This will only remain in place until the concrete floor is laid, and will then be broken away, so that the driveway will run up to the floor between the piers of the door opening.

On Wednesday, the scaffold was struck, and for the first time I can now see it properly! 









Next step will be getting the doors installed, and the the concrete floor!

Looking fantastic
