Found these that might be an option as modular and customisable in layout. Was thinking of putting 3 together.

LOL.... currently have 3 in the garage, soon another in a side garage extension where 3rd polytunnel is. Then can have one in stable and 2 in metal garages so 7 total. There will be a plan to add a nice big wooden one as part of future phase! Getting there......slowly.looks plenty big enough for 5/6 bay garage/man cave, anything else would be criminal
Issue is I need to do something that will be fairly easy to move, possible resell. Also bizarrely it needs to stand out and look hideously garish.that looks nasty and not cheap either, find a good chippy who can do better and with a proper pitched roof for less money

Self funding tool chest - a self-contained collection of implements that when used refund their initial cost, possibly more, by competently carrying out rudimentary and advanced mechanical, electrical and electronic tasks whereby 'getting a man in' would cost more.
I thought a few of you have got these.

That looks interesting. Any idea where from?little known fact but you can buy towable horse field shelters which are on skids and/or wheels and are extremely sturdy well made units, a lot of horsy people use them to overcome planning restrictions, very easily converted to office/garage

Sounds weird but they are ideal as white, garish and stand out like a sore thumb. Part of strategic planning ideaPractical but ugly - as you say you could improve the looks with a bit of imagination and paint.
Is that Aquaponics equipment I can see in that poly tunnel lol , I'd be too scared of the wind taking it and the metal frame work damaging the beauty you put inside itJust moving the polytunnels somewhere else to pop my two metal garages in the soon to be vacant space.
LOL....no idea on the kit as all my BiL's. I have large ground screw in spikes all round now so it doesn't go anywhere.Is that Aquaponics equipment I can see in that poly tunnel lol , I'd be too scared of the wind taking it and the metal frame work damaging the beauty you put inside it

Well I'm unlucky enough to have 146 year old stone garage with wood worm in the roof 'A' frames, leaking walls (from the field at the back of it) dampness coming up through the concrete floor ( previous numpty didnt put damp proofing in when they laid the floor!), cracks in the stone walls and lots of wood/ field mice in the walls....but the good news is, I do have a single light and power socket which works. Conclusion ....knock it down and start again.I'm lucky enough to have a tandem garage at a push. I had three storage racks in it till I realised that I didn't have any **** to store on them so I got rid of one plus some crappy plastic jobbies. I have a workbench which is useful plus a self-funding tool cabinet. It's in a bit of a mess at the moment but I'll tidy it up next week.
By the way Chris, great job with your garage, looks fantastic, something I can only dream of for now!Well I'm unlucky enough to have 146 year old stone garage with wood worm in the roof 'A' frames, leaking walls (from the field at the back of it) dampness coming up through the concrete floor ( previous numpty didnt put damp proofing in when they laid the floor!), cracks in the stone walls and lots of wood/ field mice in the walls....but the good news is, I do have a single light and power socket which works.

My other issue is lane access is tight so not sure I'd get anything pre-built up and round my lane.
I could get something over the bushes on the other lower end of the plot but it would need craning over the top from the main road. Possibly expensive and it is a national speed limit along that bottom bit on the lane so would need permission to close road while it is craned over!
As we have just finalised the plans for our new garage thought i might start updating progress on here. Currently we have a large single garage with electric door perfectly adequate for one car, mini tractor, kids bikes and storage racking but the plan has always been to build something bigger.
Plans drawn up for 10x8m internal ground floor, to provide 4 car spaces, two of these will get ramps fitted at some point. Front access via 2 electric roller doors and side entry door, windows down the garden side with Velux units in the North side facing roof
Upstairs a 10x6m storage room that will have a small kitchenette, shower room and toilet. We might shorten the floor space here to allow a balcony overlooking the cars below. For planning this space is storage / workshop but there is no reason why we can't make it a spare room for when family and guests come over. At the back of the garage will be a plant room / garden store with external access door where the tractor, boiler, well pump, oil tank will be which allows all of these things to be outside the main garage space. The whole place will be heated and insulated and we will probably fit dehumidifier to ensure that the cars remain dry. Internal fit still to be confirmed, but will probably try to get the shell up and water tight this year and then do the interior next.
Planning approval here takes 8 weeks so assuming no issues we should be able to start build in September, fingers crossed.
