Payment for a garage, if it is rented from relatives or friends, can be paid both in money and for various services, including those types of products that are planned to be produced in the garage.

Examples of garage use:

• rental;
• organization of tire service, auto repair shop, car wash;
• place a locksmith workshop;
• establish production of clay and gypsum;
• produce furniture;
• repair household appliances;
• production of joinery;
• production of monuments;
• turning;
• glass processing;
• sewing fabric products, producing blinds;
• advertising studio, printing house;
• shoe workshop;
• placement of a mini-workshop for packaging bulk construction mixtures;
• organization of a small pastry shop, canteen, mini-cafe;
• release of toys;
• a store;

Not all types of activities that coexist in garage boxes are listed. Ideas already implemented in practice are given.

Conventionally, the types of production and services can be summarized into several groups:

1. Low-cost, budgetary activities.
2. Average cost.
3. High-cost.

Low-cost activity

Low-cost, budget- an economical type of activity that requires a small (no more than ten thousand rubles) investment of initial capital.

These types include:

1. Renting out your own garage. Possible initial capital investments include the costs of strengthening the gates and connecting a security alarm. Without these works, the rental amount, if any, will be 3-5 times lower than expected.
2. Placement of a mini-workshop for packaging bulk construction mixtures. The starting investment is the cost of purchasing a welding machine for plastic bags, the plastic bags themselves, instructions on paper and scales with a set of weights. Raw materials - bags weighing 25-30 kg with dry mixtures, at the first stage and in small volumes, can be taken with a deferred payment from wholesale suppliers by mutual agreement. In this type of business, as well as in others, the decisive role belongs to the organization of sales of finished products. Without sales, all your efforts will be in vain.

Average cost

The initial capital is 10,000-50,000 rubles. Part of the capital will be used to retrofit the garage with a reliable power supply system; cosmetic repairs, including room insulation. The rest is equipment, raw materials, transportation costs, and advertising.

This type includes:

Locksmith workshop

From the equipment, depending on the products being manufactured, you will need:

• bench vice;
• Workbench;
• welding machine(electric and/or gas) with personal protective equipment and protective clothing;
• a set of metalworking tools (hammer, sledgehammer, metal scissors, etc.);
• electric drill or hammer drill, grinder;

Workshop for making objects from clay or plaster

Required:

• Potter's wheel;
• a small kiln for firing, at the first stage - later you can purchase a more powerful unit;
• water supply and sewerage system;
• desktop (workbench);
• plaster casting molds;
• a set of artistic paints and brushes;

Own weaving studio

Equipment required:

• stable wide work table;
• any of sewing machines(models performing various operations a lot) necessary to solve your ideas;
• set of fabrics, threads and various weaving accessories.

High-cost activity

This group of businesses will require from a beginning entrepreneur an amount of 50,000 rubles per initial stage:

Turning workshop

Required:

1. Strengthen the base for installation of equipment.
2. Install the power supply system, up to the wiring of the cable network at 380 Volts.
3. Supply water, make a sewer drainage system.
4. Purchase, as needed, a turning, drilling, milling, etc. equipment.
5. Have a stock of metal blanks, semi-finished products.
6. A set of turning, drilling, milling and other metalworking tools.

To understand and calculate possible risks before starting an activity, you need to take indisputable fact– any type of business is highly dependent on the sale of the services offered or manufactured products. Therefore, before starting to organize work in a garage, it is necessary to study the market to determine the saturation of the planned services or products.

1. Optimal type of work– acceptance of orders, preferably with partial, if not full, prepayment. The money received, first of all, should be used to purchase raw materials to complete the application.
2. Be sure to submit your work on time or ahead of schedule.– this will increase your customer confidence.
3. Organize, if necessary, your own retail outlet ( at the market, in the store). Build your business on a family basis, but immediately establish strict relationships: “home is home, work is work,” that is, work relationships are built at work, not family relationships.
4. If your garage is located away from residential areas, in the depths of a garage cooperative, then the direction of business must be chosen taking into account these facts (there is no cross-country ability).
5. Use advertising opportunities. At first - posting advertisements (take into account local laws), organizing promotion of your services and products on social networks, private advertisements in local newspapers.
6. Explore the possibility of a garage exchange, albeit with an additional payment, to a place located close to a transport route. Example: a garage with a gate directly facing the street can be successfully used for a car wash, tire repair shop or auto repair shop. And other directions will develop faster in such a place.
7. For the future, it is advisable to immediately think about expanding your production area. As the business grows, new space will be needed. Therefore, the purchase or long-term lease of neighbors' garages should be included in thoughts for future development.
8. Inspect your garage for the strength of load-bearing walls and ceilings– it may be possible to organize an add-on.

Registration with tax authorities, pension fund

Sooner or later, but better immediately after establishing a business, it is necessary to register with the local fiscal authorities. Now, in most cities, the registration procedure has been significantly simplified - a “one-stop-shop” system operates. It is enough to submit an application where you need to fill out the appropriate fields, pay the state fee and, after a few days, you become a full-fledged entrepreneur.

Whether or not to open a bank account depends on you and your type of activity, as well as on applicable local laws.

Most economic activities fall under a simplified taxation system or under payment of area tax. These species are determined by the place of registration.

Business plan for your production in a garage

Taking a pen or pencil, armed with a calculator, you need to put your business ideas on paper, supporting them with calculations. This is how you will draw up your own small business plan.

By the way, this experience may be useful in the future: when expanding your business, additional financial investments may be required. When applying for a loan from a bank for production development, a business plan is one of the necessary documents.

What needs to be included in the plans:

1. Market situation analysis, competitiveness in the products or services offered.
2. Reflect sales routes(how, to whom, under what conditions).
3. Garage conversion costs(repairs, supply of electricity, water, sewerage).
4. Required equipment, equipment, acquisition routes and total cost.
5. Monthly raw material requirements, the approximate costs of its purchase.
6. Wages hired employees.
7. Expenses, which must be allocated to support your family.
8. Overheads: advertising, transport, etc.
9. Organizational expenses(registration).

It is very important not to miss negative factors that can significantly affect the profitability, or even unprofitability, of your business:

1. Remote garage location from your own place of residence.
2. Inconvenient location for certain activities(retail outlet, canteen, tire service).
3. Lack of a centralized power supply system, water, sewerage.
4. Inconvenient access roads(bad or confusing road) - affects customers.

Having carried out such an analysis, it will be clear how much initial costs will be needed, what approximate volume of products must be sold per month in order to generate a profit in the final balance.

It is difficult to give specific figures - any type of activity requires its own specific investments. In addition, costs will also vary by region, for example, organizing a business in the northern region or in the southern regions.

Unfortunately, in our country there are not yet many types of private business and they can be divided into three categories:

• Opening a retail outlet (shop, stall, etc.).
• Offer of services (hairdressing salon, catering establishments, responsible storage of goods, and so on).
• Production of goods (carpentry or metalworking workshop, tailoring studio, etc.).

The success of the first two categories of private business is characterized by both dependence on many factors (seasonality of demand, the need to maintain many contacts with suppliers, many sanitary and hygienic and regulatory acts that regulate the work of small companies, and so on), and extremely intense competition in the market.

Concerning production sector, then starting a private manufacturing enterprise is somewhat easier, and often cheaper. In the material below, prepared by our team, we will talk about opening our own turning workshop.

Who will be the client of your turning workshop?

Turning products are in great demand not only among the general population, but also among other private entrepreneurs. Your potential clients will be:

• Construction or finishing teams.
• Stations Maintenance cars.
• Repair shops.
• Small private enterprises that do not have turners on staff, but have a periodic need for turning products, for example, carpentry workshops.
• Resellers of hardware in the market of your locality, owners of construction, household or auto parts stores, as well as other entrepreneurs working in the trade sector.
• Private individuals.

As you can see, you won’t have to suffer from a lack of clientele. This is due to the fact that it is simply not profitable for large turning shops to take on a one-time small order, since the cost of one product will “skyrocket” or the lead time for the order will increase enormously due to the fact that it will be completed in the interval between batches of wholesale customers . Industrial enterprises will not even consider applications from such clients.

Finding a location for a turning workshop

Since at the beginning of your business activity you will have to work with one-time clients who need single products, you should take special care in choosing the premises. This could be your garage in a garage cooperative, a container at the market, non-residential premises in a residential area or near a car service center, and so on.

The advantages of such premises are the possibility of free advertising and the presence of a “ready” base of potential clients. However, some difficulties may arise. For example, when renting non-residential premises the house will have to take care of having a separate entrance from the street or isolating it from the rest of the owners’ property.

The room must be connected to a water supply and drainage system, as well as an electrical network with a voltage of at least 220 V. This will be quite sufficient for the operation of a desktop lathe and ensuring the sanitary and hygienic standards required by law.

Estimated costs to get started

The main amount of expenses required to open a turning workshop is needed to purchase technological equipment. It is quite natural that the newer the machines and the more functions they have, the higher their cost. The minimum set to get started is as follows:

• Tabletop lathe – 50,000 – 60,000 rubles.
• Grinding machine – 9,000 – 10,000 rubles.

You will also have to take care of purchasing cutting and sharpening tools, as well as the availability of rolled metal for the first time (rods of several standard sizes made of steel of three to five grades).

After your enterprise has become somewhat stronger, you will be able, based on existing demand, to purchase other equipment necessary to expand the range of manufactured parts. For example, a high-frequency furnace will allow you to perform basic heat treatment of turned products (hardening, tempering, and so on).

Hiring

If you do not have professional turner skills, then finding the right specialist can be difficult. This is due both to the lack of professionals in the labor market due to the decline in the prestige of blue-collar professions, and because of the bad habits that the candidate will have.

To make it easier to find a turner, we recommend paying attention to young people whose professional experience is at least three years, and no more than one and a half to two years have passed since their dismissal. To facilitate the dismissal of a candidate who is not suitable based on professional or personal data, it is better to conclude an employment contract for a period of one to three months.

Professional minimum requirements:

• Rank no less than third.
• Ability to sharpen cutting tools.
• Knowledge of lathe design and capabilities.

It is better to hire a turner who worked in a tool shop or repair service. In terms of his professional skills, such a third-class turner is significantly superior to a candidate with a fifth category who worked “on a program,” that is, on an automatic machine. lathe.

When you have to repair something, you definitely want to find a good repairman. It is important that a person not only knows his business perfectly, but also understands what the client needs. And it doesn’t matter at all whether he works at a customer’s home, in a specialized workshop, or has opened his own mini-business in the garage.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of running a garage business are obvious:

• Low cost of rent or purchase.
• The location is close to residential buildings; you can organize a business near your place of residence, rather than having to go to an industrial zone every day.

However, as in any other business, there are also disadvantages:

• Reducing the number of garages (new ones are rarely built, developers prefer to build less expensive parking lots, and old ones are eventually demolished for new buildings).
• Garages often lack the necessary communications.

Yet garage space remains the most accessible space for many types of businesses. Let's look at the most popular business options in your garage.

If you are well versed in the workings of cars, opening an auto repair shop would be a great option. Such a small business in a garage will require minimal investment from you: you will need to purchase the necessary tools and spend money on advertising at the initial stage, then (if the work is done well and the prices are reasonable) clients themselves will recommend you to their friends.

The workshop can offer the following services:

Interesting business options that require appropriate competence could be applying airbrushing to cars or restoring vintage cars.

Repair of equipment for outdoor activities

If you are not an expert in car construction, you can choose a simpler option, but one that is also in considerable demand - your own business in a garage repairing bicycles or motorcycles, ATVs or snowmobiles - depending on your competence. Even a high school student or student can often handle repairing bicycles, so if you have a garage and the necessary skills, this can be a good part-time job option for the summer.

Another option for a micro-business in a garage could be the production of building materials. Quite simple to manufacture, but at the same time in demand:

• foam blocks;
• sand-lime brick;
• paving slabs and curbs.

It is advisable that the premises for such purposes be on the outskirts of a populated area, preferably close to houses under construction or outside the city. It will be inconvenient to export finished products from the center.

A small business in a garage for the production of building materials will require the purchase of equipment, building mixtures and the arrangement of a place for drying workpieces.

In addition, you will have to hire 1-2 assistants. The disadvantages include high competition in this area, seasonality of demand, and cost of equipment. The advantage is that this is a stable business that does not require any deep specific knowledge.

Manufacturing of wood products

Despite the crisis, unique items are still in demand. This means that people will be happy to buy products from carpentry workshops. Such a small business in a garage can offer customers custom manufacturing of the following products:

In addition to machines for business in the garage (milling and jointing), you will need to purchase hammers, mallets, a drill, a jigsaw and other tools. In order for this type of business to be profitable, excellent ability to work with wood and artistic taste are a must.

The biggest advantage of a turning business in a garage is the low competition in this area. Orders for such services can be collected from various auto and bicycle repair shops. In addition, many industrial enterprises overpay for parts that a competent turner can make without much difficulty; try to attract the attention of such organizations - advertise. In addition to working to order, you can make your own products. The workshop's assortment can include a wide variety of products: from dumbbells and barbells for gyms to small parts for airsoft weapons.

A business machine in a garage is the main cost item. You can take an expensive one with programming capabilities (it has higher accuracy), or you can take a simpler one, it all depends on the required parameters and the complexity of the parts. If you plan to cooperate, for example, with an oil and gas company and all that is required of you is to apply threads to pipes, then you should not overpay.

A welding business in a garage is another profitable option. The welding machine itself is not too expensive, and consumables are not difficult to find. The following products are in good demand:

• forged gates and fences (their production will require additional equipment, but there is a demand for this product, and the equipment should pay for itself);
• simple trellises and fences;
• barbecues;
• ovens.

In addition to producing custom goods for the population, in this area you can also cooperate with organizations, especially construction ones or those related to the installation and repair of communications.

Smokehouse

An interesting, but rather labor-intensive business option at the preparation stage would be to open your own smokehouse. To do this, you will need to carry out all communications, ensure good ventilation and sanitary condition of the premises (no rats, mice or insects!), and also get everything necessary permissions for the production of food products and their sale. Next, you need to install the necessary equipment for business in the garage - a smoking cabinet.

In addition, you need to find suppliers. The best prices You can get it if you buy meat directly from farms. You can supply your products to small grocery stores and meat and sausage outlets at food markets. It is also possible not only to sell ready-made products, but also to provide the service of smoking products to customers.

You can list for a long time business options in the garage: assembling furniture, casting artificial marble products and much more. This list is limited only by your knowledge, skills and imagination.

How to start a business without investment: Video

Hello! Today we’ll talk about garage business and give you 44 business ideas. I will also give examples of people who profitably opened their own business in a garage and are now making good money.

How can you open a business in a garage?

More and more often, as I walk through my garage cooperative, I see men fiddling around with something all the time, and people gathering around them. Not long ago I asked one neighbor what he was doing, that people constantly come to him, he said that he sells dried meat and fish, as it turned out, this is his main income at the moment.

One is mine distant relative, quit his shift job and opened a tire shop in his garage cooperative. Now he does not know any free time, since the flow of people is constant, especially in the off-season, during the period of “re-shoeing”. By the way, it’s not members of the garage cooperative who go to see him, but rather people passing by, because the territorial location of his garage is very good.

Not long ago, the guys from a neighboring cooperative opened a car soundproofing service in their garage. At the first stages, 1 car could fit near their garage, and there was another one in the garage. Now they have bought another garage in the back and added a second floor. How did I know this? The fact is that these young guys rent the first garage and somehow its owner put the garage up for sale, on the condition that no one would kick the guys out of there (I wanted to buy it). As a result, the guys tensed up and bought this garage themselves.

In the spring, I decided to buy a bicycle and found a guy on VKontakte who assembles bicycles. His group contains a huge number of reviews and photographs of available bicycles and components. I was not very surprised when I arrived at his place, and he has a double garage equipped as a workshop, and on the walls there are finished copies hanging, as well as parts for assembly and for sale (frames, wheels, etc.). Many athletes assemble and re-equip their bicycles from him.

I was interested in this topic, and I decided to put together a selection of business ideas that can be implemented in the garage.

TOP 44 business ideas in the garage

Below is a selection of 44 garage business ideas. We collected them on the Internet, took some from personal experience and the experience of our friends.

You can also find other collections of business ideas:

This is not all that can be organized in your garage, so we ask you to share your garage business ideas in the comments below the article.

1. Production of design objects and decorative sculptures

The essence of such a project– organization of a small workshop for the production of decorative elements from gypsum or concrete mixtures. Such interesting decorations are in demand among designers and builders. They can be used to decorate the courtyard of a private house, a room in an apartment or office. This original business project is great for people with good artistic taste.

Implementation of the idea

You can implement this garage business from scratch yourself thanks to a simple process and a minimum number of technological operations. To start production you will need:

• special molds for casting original jewelry;
• a set of tools and equipment for mixing solutions;
• a certain amount of raw materials.

Modern technologies make it possible to make a plaster copy of any statue or decorative element. A good income will come not only from the production of individual orders, but also from various types of stucco molding and balusters for stairs. This production has high profitability. One baluster or vase for decorating a private yard requires material worth no more than 600 rubles. It can be sold at a price of 1,500 rubles and more. Small expenses on advertising and production of original products will help recoup the project in a few months.

2. Business in a garage for the production of metal products

Minimum investment – ​​100,000 rubles.

The essence of the business project– arrangement of a mini-workshop for production various products made of metal. Decorations, grilles and openwork details for decorating private homes are very popular. It is easy to implement in a standard garage and get a good income with little financial expenses.

Implementation of the idea

To start production, you need to slightly re-equip the garage using:

• installation of equipment (milling machine, welding machine, grinder and drill);
• arrangement of the ventilation system;
• connection to a 380 volt transmission line.

You can work independently or with a partner to implement large projects. It is worth offering your services to construction organizations or individuals. By making high-quality and affordable metal doors, fence sections or barbecues for cafes, you can quickly recoup your business. The selling price is 100% of the cost. It is possible to produce one grill with forging elements per day. Its price for the client starts from 7,000 rubles. Therefore, the sale of 10 such products will give a net income of at least 30,000 rubles. Monthly revenue depends on the production capabilities of the business owner.

3. Foam processing business

Minimum investment – ​​160,000 rubles.

The essence of the project– organization of production of decorative elements from foam plastic using a special machine. It allows you to produce any volumetric shapes and elements from low-cost material. This product is in demand among decorators and designers, who additionally color it and add their own details. Art cutting technology has virtually no competition among large manufacturers.

Implementation of the idea

The main investment in this project is the purchase of a special machine that easily fits in a regular garage. By involving professional carvers and designers in cooperation, you can offer consumers unique products and jewelry. Certain investments will be required in technical equipment, which includes powerful hoods and the installation of tables for work.

Decorative products made from polystyrene foam have a low cost. One linear meter of letters popular among customers costs from 150 rubles, with a cost of 80–100 rubles. This gives a net profit from one capital letter to 300-500 rubles. You can offer your products via the Internet, or directly working with design bureaus and studios.

4. Glass processing

Minimum investment – ​​120,000 rubles.

The essence of the project– setting up a workshop in the garage for decorating glass and mirrors using a sandblasting machine. Such services are constantly in demand from small furniture shops and individuals who order original parts for rooms or offices. It will be relevant to apply non-standard images and shapes that are difficult to produce in a factory way.

Implementation of the idea

Production can easily be done in a garage and only requires the purchase of a special sandblasting machine, a minimum set of tools and raw materials. Practically no training or design skills are required: all images are applied using a stencil. Marking a pattern does not take much time, but it increases the cost of a regular mirror or glass by 2–3 times.

You can offer your services on the Internet on advertising portals or by agreeing on cooperation with private furniture makers. Additional income can be generated by curly and exclusive cutting of mirrors, replacing simple glazing in furniture sets with non-standard and original ones.

5. Glass cutting

Initial investment – ​​20,000 rubles.

The basis of such a business idea– conversion of a garage into a full-fledged workshop for cutting regular and corrugated glass. Such a project can develop well in large cities, where the demand for glass replacement in industrial or residential buildings does not decrease. The fashion for glass furniture adds work to replacing broken countertops and mirrors. Competition in such a business is quite moderate even in cities with a population of millions.

Implementation of the idea

A project to open such a workshop is ideal in the absence of large financial resources for the purchase of special equipment. The master will need a large table, which he can make himself. The main costs are high-quality glass cutters and the purchase of the first batch of glass. To save money, it should be purchased in special packaging. Finding a permanent supplier is quite a big problem in this project.

At the initial stage, you will need to spread information about your location through advertisements and leaflets. A good profit can come from offering cooperation with housing and utility organizations. Direct contact with directors of enterprises, commercial organizations or educational institutions can have an effect.

6. Turner services

Minimum investment – ​​50,000 rubles.

The essence of the business project– equipment in the garage for a mini-workshop for the production of various parts and products on a lathe. Such services are in demand among owners of auto repair shops and small businesses that do not have a turner on staff. This type of activity has virtually no competition in the market.

Implementation of the idea

To equip a turning workshop in a garage, you will need to purchase a special machine and a standard set of tools. A computer-controlled machine will provide great opportunities. It has a high price, but will pay for itself relatively quickly by producing complex and precise parts for cars and bicycles. The work must be done by a person who has good experience as a turner and certain skills. Services can be offered via the Internet.

The minimum thread cutting work starts from 100 rubles. Additional income can come from manufacturing dumbbells for gyms, small parts for auto repair shops and sports bicycle repair stations.

7. Furniture production

Initial solutions – 100,000 rubles.

The essence of the project– equipment in the garage of a workshop for the production of cabinet furniture for an apartment or office according to individual sizes of private customers. There is quite a lot of competition in this business among small and large manufacturers.

Implementation of the idea

To start the project, you need to purchase a set of tools, a machine and a table for work. Such a profitable business does not require major investments and specialized equipment. At first, you can limit yourself to the help of one worker, and having your own car will solve the problem of transportation.

You can save space and time by ordering large parts of cabinet furniture from large manufacturers. Then all that remains in the garage is to properly assemble, polish and add fittings to the future wardrobe or bed. Orders are accepted through the online store, advertisements and notices are placed on social networks, and leaflets are offered near busy bus stops and metro stations. A good additional income can be provided by providing services for assembling ready-made sets from furniture hypermarkets at the customer’s home.

8. Manufacturing frames for greenhouses

Minimum costs – 150,000 rubles.

The essence of the project– acquisition necessary equipment for the manufacture of greenhouse frames and the creation of a workshop in the garage for the collection of such products. Many private customers will be happy to use the service to set up a greenhouse on their country plot or yard. The business idea will be relevant in the context of growing demand for healthy and tasty products.

Implementation of the idea

Modern greenhouses are made of lightweight plastic and polycarbonate. The base is made of plastic pipes, so installation requires some skills. To work, you need to purchase a set of tools and equipment for working with plastic. This business stands out:

• low cost of materials;
• ease of production and short lead times;
• good profitability and quick payback.

Most potential customers live outside the city, so initial advertising costs will be required. A good additional income can be received for installing such structures on the client’s premises.

9. Opening a store

The initial investment is 120,000 rubles.

The essence of the project– equipment and opening of a retail outlet in the garage. The idea can be realized if the gate of the building faces the road. This is a common way of trading in small villages through which popular roads and significant routes pass. The most popular items may be industrial goods, automobile parts and components, stationery or building materials. Such a business will become relevant in places with a large traffic flow.

Implementation of the idea

The initial costs for opening such a non-standard outlet will be:

• renovation and decoration of premises;
• installation commercial equipment;
• purchase of initial batches of goods.

Orienting a store to food products will require the purchase or rental of expensive refrigerated display cases and compliance with sanitary standards. Like any trading enterprise, the point must have the appropriate documents for the job. The monthly income of such a store can reach 20-30 thousand rubles per month. This will allow the project to pay for itself in full within six months with a rational approach to pricing.

10. Production of chain-link mesh

Initial costs – up to 300,000 rubles .

The essence of a business project in your garage– installation of special equipment and production of metal mesh. This popular material is in constant demand in private households and for construction needs. Due to its affordable price, it is used as a simple fence. The low cost of chain-link mesh makes the business project popular and profitable.

Implementation of the idea

You can place a mini-workshop for the production of practical mesh in an ordinary garage with communications connected. Having your own car will help reduce transportation costs and solve the problem of delivering goods to customers. To organize the production process you will need:

• A special machine and a small set of metalworking tools.
• Such a project is difficult to complete alone, and an assistant is needed at some stages of the work.

The average percentage of profitability ranges from 15–25% based on the selling price. Profit and payback completely depend on sales volumes, so do not forget about advertising the product in different ways.

11. Opening of a framing workshop

Initial investment – ​​90,000 rubles.

This business idea is based on your garage– opening of a small framing workshop providing product design services to everyone. They are becoming more and more in demand due to the growing demand for hand-made products. Potential clients are artists and craftsmen selling oil or embroidered paintings. The service is necessary for designers and decorators to decorate mirrors, walls or furniture.

Implementation of the idea

The business does not require large investments and can be implemented without the help of additional hired workers. To open a framing workshop in the garage, you must:

• Carry out repairs and make the garage convenient for working in the cold season.
• Purchase a small set of equipment, a cutting machine and tools for processing the material.
• Search for reliable suppliers of original components.

You can achieve success and make your idea profitable if you pay attention to advertising your services. In addition to posting ads on an online portal, a good option is cooperation with handicraft and art supply stores. An analysis of such projects shows an approximate profit of 30,000 rubles per month.

12. Mini-forge in the garage

Approximate investment – ​​90,000 rubles.

The project represents an opportunity to convert a standard garage into a home forge. The services of a good blacksmith are always in demand among decorators and owners of private houses. Openwork fence spans and bars on windows, stairs and decorative elements for decorating buildings are very popular. There is a low level of competition in artistic forging, which will allow for rapid development new project.

Implementation of the idea

To organize a home forge in the garage, it is necessary to carry out mandatory redevelopment and arrangement of the chimney, create conditions for the operation of the furnace and metal processing. Main expenses at the beginning of the project:

• purchase or rental of special equipment, vices, compact welding machine;
• registration of all permitting instruments;
• advertising of services.

Original forging of non-standard products can generate a lot of income, but to produce them you will need the services of an artist-designer. One ton of metal is converted into 500 small products. The cost of one meter of openwork fence can be up to 10,000 rubles (depending on complexity). The average monthly profit in such activities is 30,000 rubles.

13. Production of building materials

Initial costs – 100,000 rubles .

At the heart of the project– equipment in the garage of a mini-workshop for the production of building materials with subsequent sale to private and wholesale customers. Before developing an idea, it is necessary to carefully analyze the demands of the market and the surrounding manufacturing enterprises in order to occupy its niche. There may be good demand for paving or facing slabs, various types of insulation or foam blocks.

The width of the pit should allow the driver to enter it without lighting.

Lighting and ventilation

In garages, parallel circuits of lighting fixtures are more often used. One lamp allows you to use a specific area, several devices are turned on during a major renovation or a visit to the cellar. Minimum power consumption is ensured. Daylighting devices have a greater resource.

Cars use toxic, harmful fuels and lubricants, so do-it-yourself garage ventilation devices that allow you to create air exchange are becoming relevant. The influx is organized from below:

• garage - vents in the masonry, protected by bars;
• cellar - pipe from the garage or from the street.

The hood is mounted under the ceiling of the cellar, the roof of the garage, or has the form of vents in the main walls at the highest points.

Other useful ideas

Useful accessories for the garage with your own hands can be made from used dishes, equipment, and materials left over from construction. For example, by gluing the lids of plastic cans horizontally/vertically, the owner receives convenient transparent containers for equipment or hardware, which are always at hand.

Homemade machines

You can also assemble accessories for the garage from power tools:

• drilling - a drill fixed with clamps in a device that moves with a gear along a rack;

• cutting - an angle grinder clamped in a similar way with equipment for metal or wood;

The advantage of the machines is more accurate positioning of the equipment relative to the workpiece. The equipment turns out to be dismountable, the drill and angle grinder can be removed and used for their intended purpose.

Hydropress

The simplest design is obtained from a car hydraulic jack. To press out/press in bearings and press/compress parts, you will need to build a frame and a removable movable stop. The frame consists of 4 channels welded to each other. At the top, the structure is reinforced with stiffening ribs (kerchiefs), and at the bottom, transverse corners are added, giving the frame stability.

The stop is pulled in the normal position to the top crossbar of the frame by powerful springs. A hydraulic jack is installed between them, pressing the stop against the lower crossbar of the frame as necessary. The press force is regulated by a jack, dimensions working area are selected depending on the size of the workpieces.
