Default Future 992 Storage


My 992 is on order so we did a major garage redo over the past year.

I've got a mix of Sonic, New Age and Custom Built Cabinets.

I do a fair amount of Custom woodwork for both my home and business so while I keep it very clean this is a working garage.

It might have been big enough to squeeze 2 cars in empty but currently its a 1 car space and I'll be keeping it that way.

Believe it or not the Garage AV System is very mild compared to the rest of the home but when it's your business it becomes easy to justify.

Added some new equipment to the garage... Takes around 5 mins per tire to dismount, mount, and balance. Sourced Hoffman power weights (361) at Proquip.

Corghi is awesome and provided on site training.

Awew911 - Why angle the lift? I've seen others do this, I'm just not sure of the advantages.

My guess is to gain some room for the trailer.

Awesome. That has always been a dream of mine to have my own tire mounter and balancer! How much did that setup go for. I do wish I had the space for that equipment.

The Asymmetrical setup allows you to open the door with less risk of hitting the post.

This was an added benefit of repositioning the lift further forward in the garage. Planning to move the trailer out of this unit and into another in the next few weeks. Should free up some room.

They are 20' high with a slight grade.

Was around $12k for the changer and $4k for the balancer. The ROI makes no sense. But the convenience for me is worth it. If these are maintained well, if I ever want to get out, it could cost me a couple grand. We have a bunch of us in our DE group and this just saves everyone a lot of time.

some beautiful garages here for sure

i'm in the process of doing another garage project...my biggest issue here in New England is the flooring...currently i have full epoxy by a local franchise of garage experts...they did an awesome job, looks super....like most epoxy over time the clear coat shine dulls

biggest issue is its slippery when wet...in winter its brutal

so my main use garage i wont do epoxy or anything that looks slippery...looking/thinking race deck vs swisstrax with the perforated tiles...i almost went that way prior but was concerned with them staining well as all of the stuff left underneath then which i felt would be difficult to clean

speaking with swisstrax, they claim w/ a shop vac you can suck everything up through the tiles

the other garage would be for storage/entertainment...only dry day cars...there will be several lifts to store at least 8 cars...thought about epoxy there because it looks so nice, but with the tiles could make a cool design etc

lower walls currently have diamond plate around them, which looks great and is easy to maintain, maybe do something cool on the ceiling too...currently have some new age cabinets i got at costco which look and work well...with the cost prolly do similar again to save some dough

any positive constructive input is appreciated considering the beautiful stuff pictured here



This gives a representative idea of what I described

I have RaceDeck Free Flow and love it. RD FF and Swisstrax are basically the same product, just with different connections and sheen. Get a sample of each and see which you prefer. Cleans up really easy.

I also have New Age cabinets and think they’re great for the money.

Is your floor finish textured? Or smooth?

I finished my floor last year and the finish was textured, zero issue when wet or over the winter time.
