The System M-8G battery garage was an early Marley product and can be identified by a number of characteristics but the two instantly recognisable ones are the construction using 16″ panels combined with the unstoned, rounded-off edges of the panels.
These garages have lintel/fascias that in many cases have completely broken down (having been constructed over 50 years ago).
In the photo below we can see that the entire fascia has become crumbled aggregate.
The shell of the garage is usually sound unless it has suffered from a collision and even this garage can be given a new lease of life by conversion to the System LX format.
Recently the lady using this System M-8G garage shut the door (perhaps too vigorously) whereupon the lintel on her garage, similar to the one on the right, crashed to the ground just missing her. Obviously this is dangerous to the person shutting the door or to children using the garage front for soccer practice or similar activity.
Urgent work on this site is being planned right now!
