    Whatever it costs is small potatoes compared to house prices... Just factor it into the house price.

    I did see one up at Baffle. Old mate had just cut the door out and trailer was sticking out like dogs' bolls. Very CQ.

    Leave roller door as is.

    Build a removable panel that sits under trailer with slots for trailer A frame, slide this panel in to roller door chanel, one side then have end fill to fill space in other end of roller door chanel.

    lock in to place with pins, bolts what ever and then just lower existing roller door on to panel and top of trailer A frame, cut new higher slots for the roller door locking pins in chanel.

    Easy still be able to lock and keep the weather out.

    Cheers.

    Mate, the garage is THE most important part of the house. If the garage ain't right, the house aint right. The bigger the garage is the more time you'll spend out there and the better your marriage will be. As a compromise you could insist on getting it fixed up as part of the deal and throw it on the mortgage.??

    Hmm yes this is a good option although door and garage is a double so the missus car has to drive in next to the boat....bloody good idea but would have to have double roller doors so as others have suggested factor it in to the price of the house and it seems it could be worth the effort....the plot thickens still waiting for the owners to "meet the market" as far as house prices go. Shoot me now i am starting to sound like a real estate agent!!

    I Put my in on an angle works a treat
    I use to have a piece of marine ply cut about 600 mm high that went over the draw bar with a slot so the dog couldn t get in and then the angle come into play

    I knocked the back wall out and extended it by a metre at the last house so I could fit the boat in. Then I built a carport off the side of the garage and kept it there instead which worked way better as it was undercover but still got loads of fresh air and kept dry with no mould issues.

    I miss the extra large double garage and carport almost as much as I miss that boat. No man cave at this place lol.

    Cheers Ryan
