looks single skinned

I inherited similar where I am now

damp was a problem and it was pig ugly

you might want to think about what I did - timber cladding (or upvc if looks don't matter)

Fair play for building it yourself

If it had been me I would have opted for at least a double garage, but by the sounds of it money/needs dictated the size for you

If anyone fancies looking through 220+ pages, this thread has some awesome garages on it.

UPDATE:

Bit of an update, I have made a small concerete ramp to get into the garage as there was a small drop.



I also spent the weekend painting!




Finally, I ordered some graphics for the inside to brighten it up a bit, obviously ill be putting these up when everything else is complete...



Thanks!

Excellent stuff. Clean, bright and dry sounds ideal

will that slope not draw rain water in? or are you having a waterproof door fitted?

I will be concreting the outside area with a slight slope so the rain water runs away from the entrance.

Although some may run down the slope and in, im not sure yet.
