Anyone rent workshop space or a garage?

[essjay]

Just wondering does anyone rent out a workshop or garage to work on their bikes? It's something I never considered before but the idea popped into my head today.

I'm thinking of doing a rebuild of my newly acquired 1984 XT600 and somehow I don't think I can fit it in my 10 x 8 shed (unless I rip some of my benches out of there).

Cheapest I can seem to find is €200pm (for 200sqft) and that's less than 3 minutes from my house (on the bike) but its well over my budget. The good news though is that beside that unit is a motor factors and a fabricator if I needed anything made.

Might ask the local mechanic does he know of anything available.

i used rent in kildare when lived there. was great had huge space and was away from anyone so wouldnt annoy people. everyone was either a car or bike mech.

i paid 90pm i think. its on naas side if its of any use as think there i one unit free. mate not rents and has a monster of a shed bigger than most engineering shops and pays fek=ck all for it.

try asking around as lot farmers etc will rent you unit cheap
