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.

Finally some reasonable information, Also, the advice that demolishing the illegal structure now will be cheaper than later with the roof on is indeed sensible information!
What do you actually expect from asking about individual aspects of your building project in dozens of separate threads? You’ve been here long enough to see that those who present their project in context usually get the more valuable answers.

Also, the comment that demolishing the unpermitted structure now will be cheaper than doing so later with the roof added is definitely reasonable advice!
What do you actually hope to gain by asking about individual aspects of your construction project in dozens of separate threads? You’ve been here long enough to see that those who present their projects as a whole usually get more valuable answers. Why call it an unpermitted structure??? It is and remains exempt from approval and was registered.
And why only partial projects? I ask a question when I’m no longer able to help myself. That’s what forums are for.

Why is this considered illegal building??? It remains exempt from permits and was registered. If the authority knows that the accessory building is attached, then everything is fine.

For quite a few forum contributors, give and take means receiving a variety of construction ideas as thanks for their free advice – and those who openly share their whole project often get happily suggested which “spice” could perfect their plans. You can see this most clearly when original posters with detailed insights into their dream house plans remain tight-lipped and only ask about a single door hinge. At least for me, I often give better advice by recalling the overall puzzle pieces of a project – but I don’t gain that overview if I first have to scroll through many pages of the original poster’s post history. This applies even to me with my 11ante-memory, while others like Yvonne, Katja, and Kerstin (for example) often only go back “within a thread” – which seems perfectly reasonable to limit effort, especially when giving unpaid advice. Neurotics simply don’t have the turbocharger like my memory does.
