Hi, I urgently need help,
I built a garage measuring 3.34 m by 9.4 m (11 ft by 31 ft), so far 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high using Ytong 24 cm (9.5 inch) PP6 blocks.
I have been thinking for two months now about how to do the roof (I’m not very skilled with crafts, but so far the masonry was easy, and I had a bricklayer to help). Now we are stuck and can’t move forward. We even went on vacation, but after that, the garage was still exactly the same as before.
I’m considering using sandwich panels for the roof. The Ytong blocks already provide good insulation, and the garage door will be insulated as well. So it only makes sense to insulate the roof too. The temperature should remain relatively steady (summer and winter)… at least no food stored inside should spoil (if that’s even possible), and I don’t want to get into an ice-cold car in winter.
But sandwich panels are basically trapezoidal metal sheets with insulation, right?
I’m a bit worried about those metal sheets because our bedroom is directly above the garage. I don’t want to stay awake all night due to noisy rain.
Do you have any ideas for me?
The garage is masonry on three sides and directly connected to the house (on the house side there is no wall, pillar, or anything else). The house is built of 36 cm (14 inch) Ytong PP2 blocks. If possible, the drainage should go toward the back via a gutter, since I also built close to the property boundary.
However, I don’t have much space for the roof construction. According to the building code (HBO), the garage wall including roof structure can only be 25 m² (269 ft²) toward the neighbor. Because the garage door is supposed to be 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) high, there is not much space left for the roof.
The 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) lintel then continues upward with smaller masonry blocks to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), then comes the U-shaped lintel (ring beam), reaching 2.75 m (9 ft), and I don’t even have a roof or a slope yet.

Or have precast prestressed concrete elements placed on top. Build a small parapet wall, order tapered insulation, create a core drill hole for the drain, and apply a two-layer bitumen membrane on top.
But yeah, the whole thing is a bit unusual I’m just saying, funny... isn’t there a building authority / planning department involved here?

I find it funny that they just start building the walls without knowing what it’s supposed to be.. Dog-cat-mouse-car garage ... the quick sketches

It does not require a building permit / planning permission 305er schrieb:

How sure are you that you have correctly interpreted the regulations regarding permit-free projects in your regional building code for such a non-independent ancillary building?

It does not require a building permit / planning permission and nothing was assumed or calculated. We just built it ok, well then all you can do is quote:

Funny story What are people thinking in cases like this? ..
I'm really sorry, I can't contribute anything useful, but that’s a real knee-slapper!
I’ve read the thread more than once and each time I end up laughing to myself all over again. I know that doesn’t help you, and I’m sorry about that.
Every time, a movie starts playing in my mind... I can picture it clearly... maybe it’s because of the way you write.
Please keep us updated on how things progress! Please!!
