THE HOME GARAGE SUITABLE PROTECTION FOR THE CAR Having in previous articles dealt at length with house construction, interior and ex- & terior decoration, we feel that ■ ' i«iriwwrrihlllTlf^ it is appropriate to devote some attention to the garage. r.'. The car, especially if a new one, is usually of much greater >. value than a suite of furniture, '' 'Fn and it therefore calls for suit- f-— * able housing. The exact location of the HHHhIbEs --$ garage can only be determined WHknj^^jfef by the shape and dimensions of the section. If sufficient I head-room is available in a I straight or direct drive to the road, a garage under the floor of the house has some ad van- ; j« tages, especially if the former is approached by stairs leading ' from the house. With such an arrangement one is protected from inclement weather whilst going to and from the garage; furthermore, the system leaves the remainder of the section available for other purposes, whilst the major cost of the garage is eliminated. The only costs incurred by this method are the roller shutter or doors and hangers, the concrete floor and a partition of—usually—two walls. Should the garage be a detached building, it may be built of asbestos sheets, timber, brick, hollow concrete blocks or corrugated iron. Asbestos sheeting is the most economical, whereas the appearance of the various materials offered is a matter of taste, any one of which will adequately shelter your car and will conform to the by-laws. Roofing is available in either corrugated iron or earthenware tiles. -Article "H Now for the front of your garage, which is the enclosure and the focussing point, the \ i spring-balanced roller shutter most suitable method' of closing the garage. The accompanying illustration reveals th a t the shutter is neat and solid in appearance. It is constructed <of redwood slats which are so dovetailed as to exclude all possibility of admitting rain and wind. It is spring balanced and quite easy to operate, occupying the minimum of room; all that is re.flHn quired is 14in. overhead 'iIt must be remembered that - ■ ■ ■ ————J doors suspended by hinges are liable to drag very soon after using, whereas the shutter runs smoothly at all times. Many of these wooden shutters are as large as 16ft. in width, but, though they have been in use for several years, they are proving most satisfactory even in very exposed conditions. The usual size for a household garage is Bft. x Bft. The large ones are provided with chain gear. These redwood shutters are New Zealand made, so that, in the unlikely event of a broken part, this can be quickly replaced. The shutters are easy and economical to instal; the slats are interlaced with substantial brass strips and the whole is simply hung in iron brackets which in turn are bolted to the studs, operating after the manner of a roller blind. and illustration contributed by Builders Supplies Ltd., Beach Road.

\ 'v t%r > Photograph of a section of reinforced stucco building on a base of Gibraltar Sheathing. Study This Photograph! It shows why Gibraltar Sheathing builds BETTER Stuc (A) The bitumenised GIBRALTAR SHEATHING which gives the framework three times the strength of weatherboards, that completely in* sulates against heat and cold, and shuts out damp, draughts, and fire, and acts as a SOLID backing for the stucco. (B) The steel reinforcing mesh which is completely wrapped around the building. (C) Furring nails which hold off the reinforcing mesh, enabling it to be completely embedded in the concrete. (D) Special bitumenised strip and extra reinforcing on corners for extra strength and damp resistance. (E) First coat of stucco cement. (F) Straightening coat of stucco, which,with first coat, completely embeds the reinforcing mesh, to make one solid mass, comparable in strength and earthquake resistance with reinforced concrete. (G) The finishing coat which permanently incorporates the desired colour scheme and saves costly repainting, and allows for variety of texture finishes.
