im building a small garage for my kit car
and just wanted some idea of prices
found these on ebay which seem ok
ebay

£25 delivery, that will be per pack so watch out.

Dont know if the price is good though or not.

ok thanks for the warning
doing yet more ringing round tomorrow

I would be looking to build from thermalite blocks like these.

They weigh next to nothing and are really quick to put up (you need a weak mix, 6 maybe 7:1). The garage will then be insulated. You can also cut with a saw for those awkward bits.

Price is also good if you barter with your local supplier.

Regards Mark

The way i read that its £25 delivery for the lorry load of 20 pallets (1440) blocks

Do u rearly nead that many

I think i only used about 8 pallets and mines a big garage

you could always e/mail him and ask

you know you have a quality block when you can drill it with a non-hammer cordless with a regular hss drill bit Its a miracle that new houses dont fall down!

Thermalite blocks need rendering to make them weatherproof.

If your going to be building in any thing for lifting engines etc (worth thinking about) then make sure you use decent blocks /engineering brick in the loaded areas

it's a good price for blocks, i'm paying about 62p each trade, but unless your garage is going to be huge you won't need anywhere like that amount, as a guide there is 10 blocks to the m2

my little garage will be 6metres by 8 metres
with a post in the middle to support an rsj which will hold my lift/winch
do it right this time and ill not have to do it again

You should have a couple of pillars in the length if you are building in 100mm block, you can rest your RSJ across one of these. You'll want a good beam to span 6metres and lift an engine and gearbox in the middle.
