Temporary winter lounge facilities aka garage

[herfdog]

Northern brothers with subzero winters often cannot smoke outside during some session, and while some fall into cigar lounges, others prefer using their garage. Its not inside, but its not outside and often is heated. Ventilation can be an issue, or seating.

Having recently moved to a house with garage, I was happy to setup such a winter man cave. I upsicled car parts to make the place enjoyable.

@3/5King convinced me in chat today to post pictures of it.
Here's the leather car seats and minivan tray used for cigar lounge.

The whole thing can be moved away and the tray folds

Opinions are welcome. Or post your own winter setup.

I smoke in my garage as well.

I figured leather car seats not only are comfy, but fit in the garage pretty well. The only thing is to lift them about 8Inch up to feel like a chair.

Hell yeah Yan! Give me a blanket, a foot rest and a stogie.... I'm home.

I need to figure out a compatible footrest. But this is very nice.

I have aditionnal, non-leather seats. Right now they fit the footrest role perfectly

Beats my setup, folding camp chair sitting in the basement by the furnace. But my setup beats the hell out of freezing my ass off smoking outside in -15°C.

Anything beats being outside in canadian winter. But if you can get car seats, this is a nice option

Another garage man here. But on weekends. During the weekdays a smoke on the car ride home works well.

Bit of a mess, but it's my mess.



Always hockey, football or Mets baseball on the tv and cigars in hand.

Is the temp situation pretty stable in there? I'd kill for a heated garage room...

I think I would need armrests on my seats , but other than that this is an awesome setup. Big thumbs up.

The heater holds up nicely to a set temperature. No issues there.

Armrests would be great but none of the seats I had at my disposal had any. It would be a nice upgrade.

I have a folding lawn chair and a crappy space heater. And I need to insulate my garage door. Very drafty.

Very impressive setup, that's awesome.
