  1. Wood or metal?

    I would imagine wood is better for keeping temperate stable in the garage and less condensation however metal is less upkeep.

    Discuss.

  3. Oh yeah, won't be done till autumn 2016. Did get a quote for someone to flatten it and put a block one up but that was £13 1/2k..

  10. My sister used to be into horses before she saw the light. I've never known another sport/pastime/hobby that costs so much money and time. Makes motorcycling seem cheap.

  12. up shot it's a bit of a contradiction to complain when more bike shit gets acquired.

  13. Composite. Hormann are the best you'll buy imo. Go for a sectional one if you have the space in the garage for the framework.

  16. what about upvc? bi fold or concertina. if you can move a lil on exact size/finish you could get a good 2nd hand set offa ebay for not alot if you are in no rush. low maintenance, good thermal values and secure enough to be used and insured on houses

  17. I would need to sell all my stuff which would negate the point in a garage in the first place.

    I appreciate your input though.

  18. It's a timber frame and I will be changing from dbl doors to a single door so will need to build a framework anyway.

  19. piece of cake then, find ya self a door/frame and build ya structural opening to fit, screw and foam in and clad over door frame a lil to weather. Im a chippy and hate wooden external doors (double door sets and bifolds, not so much single) as the gaps are all ways changing unless on a very well made, constantly treated door
