Yeah I think the base is gonna be costly,as for garage itself,I reckon I could pick a second hand one up in eBay for around £150 being lucky that is.

trouble with concrete is they tend to sweat, condensation plays hell on stored stuff...
Brick / block with a board liner or timber frame are my personal preference..

For the large door I used this - http://www.screwfix.com/p/stormguard...ack-2-5m/37019 Works well but you need to be thorough with the sealant especially around the edges.

You're dead right there, one of my cars sat for 20 years in s wooden garage, and not a trace of rust. After a year in my concrete block garage lots of light rust began to appear |

I've not had this problem with my concrete garage, it stays dry very well though this time of year I help it out by using a dehumidifier as any outdoor building without heating will become damp. Our brick built outhouse suffers too.

I shall be moving next year, down sizing and retiring but looking around for a house with a double garage is impossible, don't seem to exist round our way.
