Can I use these in my garage? Will a parked car impact them?

you can use them, that's where I have mine. The car will probably be ok but I think it will move them out of place.

A car should be fine. This stuff is very high density...its not squishy and deforming like interlocking squares

They are very smoky. I don't think using them in a garage would work out very well.

We too lived in the UK for about three years and our only concern is the wind (caused by the cars movement) somehow started them to separate from the car there would be no stopping them. Since they are made of a fairly substantial vinyl material I am sure the rain or water would not hurt them. I think if you could find a place on the boot or bonnet where the wind was not real bad they would be fine.

Hello, yes this can be used in a garage. We used it outdoors on the fence and it worked very well.

Yes you can install in the garage, but Kidde discourages installation near florescent lights. They also mention starting a car engine can release combustible material, but I imagine only older cars. I have two installed in my 3-car garage with no issues.

Probably, but they're very small, so the surface area is less than ideal. You may end up driving the bumper into the wall!

Absolutely! I move them in and out of my studio all the time because I have limited space. I haven't put them in my car to move them. I just move them onto my deck outside and then back in. I don't think they would be a problem to cart around in your car at all.

Sensitive enough I guess. They are kinda small though, but if they are properly mounted it may work. See if there is something like this out there already for what you want to do.

I wouldn't use it to drive your car on. I have it down on my garage floor in an area where I put my treadmill and weights. But I think your car would move it around and tear it up.

Nope. I wouldn't use them outdoors. Oh and they do work but they are a little flimsy.

If your garage has a concrete foundation, that would probably be fine, although any cracks in the concrete might allow some fumes to leak into your garage. I would not use this where it could come into contact with any combustible structural materials.

They work well on smooth surfaces inside and outside on parking lots. The brake keeps them from rolling down inclines while you are loading and unloading them from your vehicle. I would not recommend them for sand, gravel or dirt.

I do not believe I would try it since the attachments are held on by friction. Work great in a garage but I would not attempt in a truck. Bill Berry

I have about 6 of these units mounted around the perimeter of my garage - meaning up against a wall. However, there is no reason they cannot be mounted in the middle of the garage.

I doubt it. They aren't that strong. I have a problem to get them to stick to my car.

I personally wouldn't use them inside the garage, because I have gas cans, mowers, weedeat eaters, etc in there, and don't want to take the risk of anything getting ignited. I've read some of the reviews, where other people use these things inside their homes, and I wouldn't recommend that, either. I would think that these would probably be effective in the garage, as you mentioned, with the door open, just be careful when you're lighting them, if you have fuel cans etc around. By the way, I also prefer the PIC coils to this brand, but have bought this brand a couple of times because the price was so low. I feel this brand breaks as you're trying to separate the coils more frequently than the PiC brand.. Probably just my opinion!

I would say yes ya can put them on your car. I don't know if they are weather proof. I used them on a wall
