Garage Sizes
Turbo Mini Forums

Im just in the process of buying a house, the garage is one of thoses concrete jobbies 8fx15f is this a reseanable size for a garage (will I be able to get round my mini to work on it?) or shall I knock it down and build one slightly bigger?

Theres no such thing as a garage that is too big-only too small.

i would have thought 8 x15 is good for most servicing jobs but equally you could find it restrictive if you have a rebuild planned i have found with my dads garage over a cirtain size and it(the un used space) just be comes a storage for crap

Any garage is better then no garage in my view. I think you just adapt to the space you have. I managed to take over a 25 by 20 foot garage when I restored mine, If I had a smaller garage, I would just have to be more organised!

Ive got space to store things as well, like I said if its not big enough i'll knock it down and build a bigger one! we'll see

My house currently has a 7m x 2.5m garage, that is ok, but too narrow for serious work. I am just about to build a 6m x 6m garage on the front lawn to replace it.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Mine is a 5m x 7m and I could do with more space. Build as big as you can afford/get away with

as everyone says, you can do with bigger but having a garage is a bonus in itself. Ideally you want something wide enough that you can walk round the car when the doors are open and enough room for storage, workbench and floor space for the obligatory engine out jobs

my workshop is 50m sq, with 30m sq storage in the loft, it's still too small
