Timber Garages Wiltshire. Mr & Mrs T contacted Garden Retreat requiring a replacement double garage as the old one was completely rotten. After the old garage had been demolished we checked over the original brick course, modified the openings and made the new garage to suit the exiting external brick course dimensions which saved them a significant amount of money. In addition, they wanted to store their camper van which they were unable to do in the old garage as the door was to low. We modified the height of the garage barn door to enable a 2.1m vehicle to be driven into the garage.
FINISHED TIMBER GARAGE WILTSHIRE
THE BUILD
Our timber garages in Wiltshire are constructed using 100mm x 38mm timber framing clad with tanalith BS8417 shiplap, a vapour barrier and 4mm plywood lining. This standard garage, has 300mm overhangs to front and sides with guttering and down pipes, the overhang to the rear gable end is 150mm. The eaves height on this double garage with standard double doors is 2.3m plus the single engineering brick course, this allows the doors to miss the guttering if barn doors are installed.. The ridge height varies depending on the width of the garage but sits generally around 3.5 metres. We can manufacture the ridge height to be no higher than 2.5m if required to sit within the planning regulations. On this occasion we supplied eaves height to 2.5m to increase the opportunity for the hydraulic lift to be maximised.
This timber garage has be designed to enable the customer to install their own roller shutter door from a local supplier and we look forward to seeing the roller door in situ.
The standard covering for the roof is felt tiles or a metal roof with underfelt. Tapco Slate is a popular additional option which will last for 50 years! In this instance the customer has opted for this up-grade.
One concern for a number of customers is the damp proofing. When the sections are bolted through the single course of bricks into the concrete base the timber clad runs 50mm down the outside of the brick. In addition to this the vapour barrier also runs down the same distance ensuring no rain water can get into the building. One further measure is a DPC is attached to the bottom rail of the section which sits on the top of the brick and stops any moisture in the brick rising up into the timbers.
