The functional properties of the garage are not only the placement of the car, but also other additional functions. Therefore, when you decide to buy or design a garage, you need to decide on the purpose of its use. For the construction of a garage for one car, an area is required – 3.5×5.5 m. If you are embarrassed in space, then plan the construction so that its width is not less than three meters.
By placing a garage in the basement, you can save the area of the site. But in this case, it is necessary to take care so that it does not fill in the rain, and possibly even soil waters. It should also be borne in mind that humidity in the basement is much higher. There are still disadvantages of such garages-this is poor ventilation, and in the winter period of time, departure and arrival are complicated during ice, due to the slope of the road leading to it.
Premises for cars can be erected in a separate building or attached to the house. Whatever option you choose, the floor in such rooms should be made above the ground about a hundred millimeters, this is required to avoid meltwater from the hit. Most often, to perform the flooring, use a cement concrete solution or flooring from boards.
It is required to take care of good ventilation in the garage room. Conventional ventilation for such a room is not suitable, especially if the garage adjoins the house, since the air from this room can enter the house. The garage gates are made of a metal corner and sheet iron, and the size of the finished gate should be-2.3-2.5 m in width and 1.8-2.0 m in height. The most important thing is that the layout in the room is convenient.
At the entrance, it is advisable to place a washbasin and a small cabinet for clothing, with two compartments for clean and work clothes. On the opposite wall, a box of sand and a shield with fire equipment are installed: with a shovel, fire extinguisher, crimson, etc. D. The working surface of the workbench and the rack, for various tools or spare parts, is located at the end of the garage. The working area should be provided with additional lighting, since the total lighting of the garage, when working behind the workbench, will be ineffective.
