Garage protection strip/buffer

Post by Mav8 » Tue Nov 29, 2016 5:39 pm

So
After many months of searching i've finally managed to find a garage to put the car in.
Its a bit of a tight squeeze, so im thinking of getting some protection for both sides and rear wall .
Any recommendations?
Thanks Mav8 :thumbs:

in my old lockup i used to use a length of 2 by1, given how soft it was it wouldnt mark the doors getting in or out. i tried to wrap pipe insulation around it but it stuck out too far and made it more difficult

Eddie's right, I have a piece of carpet on my wall to stop the door bashing on the wall and being marked.
