New Garage

[liljohn]

Kenny nice set up. When you insulate that building use rigid panels. foil faced would be best. You have to be cautious of condinsation issues with metal buildings.

I agree. Man can never have to much garage.

I put a toy box up when we built our place.

And for some garage envy:

So one question, how do you get the BMW out?

[68Slalom]

Here is a couple pictures and more questions to follow. These were taken before the guys were finished, my other pictures were too blurry for some reason. In the first pic, the 12' X 12' door hasn't been put on yet and the carport sides haven't been added yet. In the second pic, that door is in the back left hand corner. Now to insulate, I have my own ideas how to go about this, but have gotten alot of conflicting information on insulating an all metal building. Anyone done this and how did you do it? Dimensions are 18 wide, 30' Length, 12' sides. I'll be running wiring before I insulate. I put the BU in there today and glad I let yall talk me into that 12 X 12 door

Looks good so far

So one question, how do you get the BMW out?

Am I missing something? Looks like he raises the garage door and then puts the BMW in reverse.

Got it didn't see the doors behind the cars, my bad. Too early in the morning

Here are some updates on my progress.

The bottom half inside is spray foam insulated, framed with wood and plywood. I wanted to get all this done, so I put off insulating the top half. We wont get anymore freezing weather so I can always do it before next winter. The left upper side is pegboard, the right side has the shelves and a cooler rack that I built in the back corner. My wakeboard rack is in the front right, not in the first pic. I put 6 electrical outlets in and 3 large overhead lights. Also put in two 30" industrial fans, kinda overkill cause they circulate more than enough air on low. They oscilate and are adjustable in all directions, probably one of the best things I put in there. Floor drains under the boat that you cant see. I may end up covering the floor, with a garage mat, but for now it works.

I made this with 3/4" pvc and covered it with those outdoor pipe foam covers and mounted it to the wall. Holds all our boards, is very sturdy and doesnt scratch the boards.

Very glad I went with the 12X12 door, backing in is a breeze. I can put the BU in all the way and have plenty of room to walk around even without folding the tongue on the trailer. I usually do though, just for the extra room.

Looking real good man, wish we had room here at the house for something like that. We keep the boat in storage in town, gated and has security so its nice, but i would rather have it at home.

good call on the 12' tall door over the 10' model. the malibu's with the illusion towers may fit under a 10' door. but i know a guy with a MC x-2 that has to remove his tow spool to get it under his 10' door. imagine a X-15 or X-star wouldbe even taller. anyone know how high the tallest point would be if u had the titan tower on your malibu?

This is going to depend a lot on the trailer, but for a frame of reference, I had a '05 vRide with a Titan on a Dorsey trailer. The top of the tow ball was 9' 9".
