These do it yourself plans will save you a lot of money, if you are handy with tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Designing a garage work bench you will need to think of specifications like width, height, depth of workbench, design, exterior finish, approximate area, whether the size of the garage work bench is commensurate with the garage size, measurements and prices for each plan as well as detailed, step by step instructions with clearly labeled illustrations on photo illustrated pages, the flexibility to choose from a huge range of low cost designs, modifications to suit your needs, materials required; you can also see a preview of your dream  garage work bench, take out print outs and what not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A garage workbench isn’t meant to be delicate drawing room showpiece furniture. It is meant for rough use and should be solid, sturdy and rough and tough. But to build one such requires patience and a long time and quite a bit of labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIST OF MATERIALS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 metal angled brackets for providing support&lt;br /&gt;For support bracing 5   2x4x10’&lt;br /&gt;Half pounds each of 1 ¼” wood screw, 10 penny nails, number 16 spikes&lt;br /&gt;24 lag bolts to support the angles&lt;br /&gt;For the top surface a piece of ½” particle board @ 4x10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want you can also add 3 inch overhangs in the back and front. Nine inches can be the length of right and left overhangs.  The bottom and top braces will measure 2x4. The top will sit on a frame that will be made from a leg stock measuring 2x4. Always make it a point to purchase straight support braces. If they are twisted, bowed or warped, problems will arise while assembling.  Screws and bolts are more preferable than nails which grow loose after a point of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROCEDURE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start off by constructing 2 similar 2x4 frames for stabilizing the legs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To build the four legs take the help of 4x4s or 2x4s. Adjust the height to suit your needs. Attach the legs to the inner corner of one frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To attach the legs you will require the screws and bolts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A minimum of 4 bolts or screws should be used at each of the corners. 2 of them will be fixed to one side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After attaching all the four legs by turning the first frame upside down, attach the second frame (if you want to prevent the legs from spreading and also a shelf to store items) and remember to notch the corners of plywood. This will ensure a better fit round the legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After completing the base, work on the top that will be made of plywood with measurements of your choice, position it on top of the base at the centre and use short screws and L brackets to attach it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now add standard ¾ inch thick hardwood flooring for a finishing touch.  You might only want your garage to be practical be you should also consider &lt;a href="http://garageideas.blogspot.com/2008/10/cool-garage-color-ideas.html"&gt;garage color ideas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7464724043292655334-6046323498808439443?l=garagesolutionsplus.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://garagesolutionsplus.com/2008/08/garage-workbench-plans.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464724043292655334.post-8662292845477217674</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-19T10:51:16.188-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>double</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>design</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>2 car</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>garage</category><title>2 Car Garage Plans</title><description>The internet is flooded with garage plans of all types including&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 2 car garage plans&lt;/span&gt;. These plans are designed to accommodate two automobiles in your inexpensive garage. A wide variety of styles and sizes will spoil you for choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these designs will allow you to build deeper garages where you can store longer vehicles along with boats or trailers. These kinds of affordable &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2 car garage plans&lt;/span&gt; usually come with two smaller doors or with one large overhead door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These double-car garages are usually detached and are equipped with a gable roof or a hip roof. The exterior may be constructed with brick or siding or a combination of both. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the affordable detached low cost designs on offer come with an additional apartment or loft upstairs. These plans are flexible, and accommodate adjustments, modifications, are affordable, allow different configurations, customization and also include professional building blueprints and construction materials list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because these plans are flexible they will allow you to add extra features like more workshop floor space, higher ceilings and extra-wide doors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people like to enlarge their existing cheap garages because they use their garage space to store many additional items like gardening tools or workbenches or mere clutter. Fitting two automobiles into this clutter often becomes impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WALLS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An interior dimension of 26 feet by 32 feet is more than enough for two cars. The height of the back wall of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;double car garage&lt;/span&gt; can be a bit over twelve feet. This height will increase because of the sloping concrete slab, when the garage door is approached from the rear wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DOORS AND WINDOWS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An eight feet tall and eighteen feet wide garage door will do fine for 2 cars. This is the standard national size. Doors take up a lot of space, but don’t do away with them for you cannot refuse the fact of their convenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Windows also block the space and increase chances of theft. The best way to fill your garage with natural light is to install leak proof skylights. The good news is that they are not at all expensive, extremely durable and functional. You can check out the brand VELUX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HUMIDITY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High performance vapor barriers are installed in garage slabs, so the humidity levels inside the garage will be at par with open space outside. It is expected that the interiors of your double car garage will get hot, but don’t let it get as hot as the enclosed attic area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STORAGE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned earlier, well fitted apartments or studio apartments or merely a study room and loft for storing your clutter or old/discarded items may be built over your discount 2 car garage for the space will be ample, say, over 600-700 sq feet.                                       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also go for truss if storage is a big issue for you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7464724043292655334-8662292845477217674?l=garagesolutionsplus.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://garagesolutionsplus.com/2008/08/2-car-garage-plans.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464724043292655334.post-867179723799723680</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-19T10:52:42.659-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>design</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>door</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>garage</category><title>Garage Door Designs</title><description>A plethora of low cost &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;garage door designs&lt;/span&gt; have flooded the market and the designs range from roller doors to sectional and tilt doors.

However this design is popular because it is cost efficient and is one of the commonest varieties available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DOORS WITH TILT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to make a style statement with your garage door and turn your neighbors green with envy, a tilt door is the ideal choice for you. It consists of a single panel door. It will not roll down or fold. It is most appropriate for garages that have little head room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any material can be used to build tilt doors like solid timber, perforated metals, veneer plywood with molding motifs etc. This versatility is due to its being made of a single panel. This also allows flexibility as far as the width is concerned. Those who have an unusually shaped cheapest garage will find the tilt door very useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SECTIONAL DOORS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A series of hinged panels fitted with rollers moving on a track along and up the ceiling – these are what comprise a sectional door. Sectional doors can accommodate a lot of storage space and it is also easy to open them. You can choose from a wide variety of materials to build sectional doors and they can be customized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OUT OF THE ORDINARY DOORS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A striking, unusual or quirky garage door will lend a bohemian look to your house’s exterior. A steel door painted in warm tones of plum or western red cedar will impart a dramatic look and become the focal attraction of the frontal portion of your house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AUTOMATIC OPENERS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advantage of this particular variant is that you can open or close the garage door sitting inside your car. You can retrofit automatic openers on your existing discount garage door or install it with brand new doors. Check to see that your automatic opener comes with a key pad option allowing entry if you type in the 4 digit pin or with an additional remote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CARPORTS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can’t afford to build a garage, then a cheaper version of the same called carport may be the option for you. They won’t take up much room and can also double up as a cozy shady place to enjoy the outdoors by cutting out the sun. But because it is open on three sides your car might get stolen. This is its biggest disadvantage.  Garage door services can elxplain further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see there are so many affordable &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;garage door &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;options&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;that you could choose to buy so make sure that you have read about them all.
