Wooden Garages and Carports: The Practical Timber Addition

1 October 2025 By Krzysztof

Garden rooms get the headlines, but some of the most-used timber buildings we install are the humble ones: garages, carports and workshops. As winter approaches, protecting your car from frost and salt starts to look very appealing.

Why Timber Beats a Kit Garage

  • Looks that fit your garden: Natural wood blends with the house and landscape in a way corrugated steel never will.
  • Workshop-ready: Timber walls make it easy to fix shelving, insulate a corner, or run a workbench along one side.
  • Modular speed: Like all our buildings, garages go up in days on a prepared base.

Mind the Planning Rules

A garage counts towards the same 25 m² exempted development allowance as other garden structures, and height limits apply — check before you build, or ask us to check for you.
