I have one in our garage downstairs, problem is it's not sealed at the moment and gets about a foot of water in in winter.
Other problem is I can't get the car in the garage lol, cause Tue threshold is a pain
That's the basic idea, if you dig wider at the top and closer at the bottom too, it'll serve as a self supporting structure.. digging out latterally from the sides of the pit for reinforcing pins is sometimes a good idea too depending on the composition of the soil, like a spiders legs for ties nearer the top of the pit and then out into the garage floor.
The pit I have has a lip and some thick planks (they are thicker than scaffold boards) over the top of it so you can still use the whole garage.

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
