Hi

One house ago I had one of these garages........

A question for anyone with knowledge of either 1960's build concrete
garages or mini excavators and breaker attachments. I have a little
weekend project to safely bring down a garage like the one in this
link:-

http://www.wessex-concrete-sectional-garages.co.uk/

I have 2 main areas of query:-

1. I know it is made from concrete panels about 2m tall x 1m wide x
0.03m thick, but that is about it. Are they reinforced? And more
generally does anyone have an idea as to how they are put up and
therefore can safely be demolished?

ISTR that the panels were reinforced with iron bars - and were bolted
together - I'd imagine that an angle-grinder to the bolts (they'll be
rusted !) would be simpler than just using brute force g.
You might still need the digger but in a 'subtle' fashion ..

I think that the reinforced side sections just sat on the foundations
- i.e. not built in - so they should be fairly easy to shift.....

Mind - I never tried to dismantle my garage.....!
