Build a wooden garage yourself
Wind and weather make the car really hard. A garage is just the thing. A wooden garage is easy to build yourself, and with a little more space than is necessary for the car, a garage creates additional storage space for hobbies and leisure.
Make a wooden garage yourself
You don't need your own for a simple wooden garage foundation made of concrete, but the ground should already be compacted and filled with some gravel. To do this, borrow a vibrator that you can borrow from many hardware stores. Then it's time to create a beam structure that you will later screw your boards onto.
- You have to imagine the beam structure like an open cage and first make a sketch with the exact dimensions of your wooden garage. Using the sketch, write the required bars (approx. 75 x 75 mm). They broke four standing bars, one for the long sides, one below and one above, and also for the back. You can have the beams cut exactly to length at the sawmill or hardware store.
- When you have gathered your material, you need to set the foundations at the four corners, a concrete base the size of a bucket, in order to firmly anchor the brackets for the uprights here. It is easier to place a wreath open to the front, i.e. the two long sides and the back, made of beams on the brackets and to attach the uprights to it with stable angles.
- Of course, with this variant you have to make sure that you set the correct brackets for the foundations. So no U-shape pointing upwards, but a plate with an angle attached so that you can lay the beams flat and connect them at an angle of 90 degrees.
- To attach the uprights, you need at least two helping hands and of course a spirit level so that your self-built wooden garage does not get tilted. It is also helpful to prepare the uprights at the top so that you can screw in the top crossbeams quickly.
- To do this, work with a classic plating and screw with a threaded screw with nut. Don't forget to have a washer on each side, this gives you additional hold.
- Your beam structure is now in place and you can start with the wood facing. Simple tongue and groove boards are sufficient for this, which you screw to the beams with small Spax screws (30 to 40 mm long). Your wooden garage is ready.
Always balancing the bikes in the cellar is not an alternative in the long run. In addition …
To secure the roof in heavy snowfall, you should insert two or three strong cross braces. As a rain protection, roofing felt is the cheapest option, which you can leave a few centimeters on the sides. Paint the side walls with a commercially available wood protection glaze.
