I'm in the middle of a $200K (and counting) barn redesign to be able to accomodate my also growing car fleet. Today was test fitting of the lower level which as you can see now can hold 5 cars but getting in and out is a bit of a nightmare with a single door. Have to decide whether I sacrifice a spot so I can get some cabinets/workspace and just put more cars upstairs and reduce risk of scraping one getting in...

What it looks like now (before deciding on layout, cabinets, adding epoxy flooring (concrete is still curing) and $8K worth of lighting from Obsessed garage:



What the lower level used to look like:


What the upper level still kind of looks like (there will be 4-5 cars on the right off screen (with one lift that I already have).



And what it all looks like from outside:

Did you get rid of the stall doors/walls, etc.? I have the same materials in my barn and could always use spare items, horses(younger colt/filly) are not easy on my poor stall doors.
Looks great, beautiful views.

Wish we had connected earlier - I sold it all off for barely anything to some Amish people who could use it.

@RudyP. Just remove that thing from England in the middle, that‘ll solve all your problems🤣
Seriously, an impressive setting that is. As also stated by bonehead, for the floor, I would recommend tiles - if your budget allows. That’s what I have in my garage, and it doesn’t matter what you spill, you can remove it easily, and also clean easily, with a broom, or wet. Tires only leave a trace, when a car was driven in the wet. Tiles have no wear
