Timber Garages
Our Garages are built to our exceptionally high standards, giving a secure, solid structure as well as complementing your surroundings due to our design and the beautiful colours that are available to finish your building. A Timber Garage will add value to your property whilst being installed with the bare minimum of building works.
With our versatility in design, size and finish we can provide you with a Garage that will meet all your requirements. So you can have your Garage for a multi-purpose capacity by partitioning off workspace or storage needs.
To compliment the robust construction we have devised a unique Security Pack option which is advisable if anything of value is to be stored in your garage
We deliver and install all our buildings free of charge.
Building Sizes
Our Garages are available in a range of sizes:
3.0 x 4.8m (10 x 16ft) to 6.0 x 9.0m (20 x 30ft)
As we make each building to order we can produce non-standard sizes and designs whenever required. Please contact us on 01760 444229 with any queries.

We can make the windows opening and we offer Georgian effect or Velux as alternative styles.

Additional Windows
You may wish to increase the number of windows in your building for added light.
Opening Windows
Substitute any fixed window for an opening sash. Our opening sashes are top hung and are fitted with a brass casement stay.
Double Glazed Windows
Have your windows double glazed for added insulation and reduced condensation.
Georgian Windows
Make your windows Georgian for a more traditional look.
Velux
Add one or more Velux windows to your building to gain extra natural light. The roof window can be fitted in any part of the roof. It is only possible to have roof windows in apex style buildings with either Cedar Shingles or Slate Effect roof covering.
Cladding Options
Our timber cladding is machined from very high quality Redwood grown in North Sweden, close to the Arctic Circle. Because of the temperature, these slowly grown trees produce a much more dense and stable timber than others. The timber mill we partner and have very close links to is also FSC accredited like ourselves. We clad your building in shiplap but we also offer weatherboard cladding for a more rustic finish.
Show More
Shiplap - (ex 19 x 125mm)
The shiplap we use is particularly thick and has very few knots because of where we source it and how it grows. We plane our shiplap which gives a smooth surface finish which looks great painted. We machine a capillary groove into our shiplap to reduce the risk of water ingress; we also machine our shiplap with rounded edges so that paints and stains grab and adhere with maximum effectiveness and coverage.
Weatherboard - (21>8 x 125mm)
Our weatherboard cladding is machined from the same high quality timber as the shiplap but is left sawn which gives a more rustic look to your building.
Flooring
Our Garages are set on to a concrete base and do not have flooring.
Roof Coverings
Our standard roofing cover is an extreme-wear, heavy duty, 35kg green mineralised felt. We also offer red and grey Slate-Effect roofing tiles, very stylish Cedar Shingles or the environmentally sound and attractive Sedum roof.
Show More
Heavy Duty Felt
Our extreme-wear, heavy duty, 35kg green mineralised felt is non-rip and is heated on to give further longevity.
Cedar Shingles
We use only the finest quality Canadian Blue Label Cedar Shingles expertly tiled by our own skilled craftsmen to give a traditional finish which will 'silver' with age. They are expected to last 25-35 years and they make a charming feature of your shed.
Terracotta
Grey
Slate Effect Tiles
These individually laid synthetic slates finally bring nature and technology together providing the ultimate protection against UV rays, wind, hail and fire.
This roofing product carries a 50 year limited warranty. Opt for a more traditional grey or terracotta for a different look which looks great with the lighter paint shades.
Sedum Roof
This layered, lightweight, vegetative roof improves the buildings thermal performance (cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter). A good natural sound insulator, significantly improves rainwater run-off and has added values in terms of promoting biodiversity and habitat as well as blending in with surroundings, particularly in built up areas. No need for weeding or deadheading.
Security Pack
Our Garages are exceptionally strong and robust. We have devised a unique Security Pack that will compliment this structure and be of benefit if any items of value are to be stored in your building.
Show More
Since the introduction of our Security Pack in 1994 theft from our customers garages has been dramatically reduced, virtually eradicated. We offer a 3 step Security Pack consisting of window bars mortised into the window frames, non-returnable screws are used on the hinges of the door and we have worked with a lock manufacturer to produce our unique 7 lever security lock.
Window Bars
13mm (1/2 inch) stainless steel bars are mortised into the window frame during manufacture.
Security Screws
Non-returnable security screws on the hinges of the door make it impossible to unscrew hinges.
Security Lock
A heavy duty sliding bolt with fully encased 7 lever lock. It is anti-sawing, anti-picking, anti-cropping and anti-prising.
Paint Systems
Our Garages come treated with a light oak wood preservative. This protects the timber as well as adding a light stain. We also offer other paint systems as Crane Sheds and Summerhouses have worked closely with SIKKENS and VALTTI to make available the best possible coating systems for your building. Choose from the following optional paint systems.
Sikkens
Crane Sheds and Summerhouses have worked closely with SIKKENSTM to create a coating system which provides long lasting protection for your building yet still allows the grain to be seen, enhancing the natural beauty of the timber.
SIKKENSTMwas shown to be the best translucent wood stain in trials carried out by TRADA (The Timber Research and Development Association).

Lining and Insulation
In order that you can use your building year-round, to increase your comfort and decrease any noise levels as well as finishing your building beautifully we can line and insulate it.
Show More
For Garages we firstly trap a breathable paper membrane between the studwork and the external cladding during manufacture which acts as a moisture trap.
We insulate the cavity and then fix the oak faced 12mm (1/2 inch) plywood internally. The oak facing gives it a lovely, warm finish and it is robust enough to handle any shelving, hooks etc
Roof Overhang
A roof overhang can provide additional protection to the façade of your building as well as creating shade and rain coverage. The overhang can give a more cabin style design finish.
Show More
Electric Packs
For lighting and using any equipment in your building, you may wish to consider our electric pack. Professionally fitted by qualified electricians who take all the wiring to a consumer unit ready for you to connect to your electricity supply. Internal wiring will be fitted behind any internal lining. We can also supply your building with a heater.

Base
All our buildings require a level solid base of the correct size. We offer a base service.
Show More
The single most important part of installing a garden building is the base. Bases must be:
- LEVEL
- of the correct size
- square i.e. have right angled corners
If the base is undertaken by someone who does not know what they are doing the base is likely to be uneven and therefore will create a lot of problems for your building in the short term and long term. The door will start to become unaligned and not shut properly and possibly create other movements within the building structure. The base supports the building and creates distance between your building and surface water.
We strongly recommend a solid concrete base (which will include steel reinforcement within the mix), no less than 100mm deep is ideal.
The base should always be a minimum of 50mm out of the ground to prevent surface water or puddles affecting your building i.e. rotting it.
The size of the base needs to be the metric size of your building. For example, if you order a 8 x 10 building, the metric size is 2.4 x 3.0 metres and this should be the size of the base. If the base is not built to the metric size then you will see the base around the building which is unsightly.
Bases for larger buildings and in particular garages need to be built to exact dimensions and drawings should be obtained from us before the base is laid.
A timber beam base can be necessary in rare cases where the building is on a steep slope or to be built near trees with tree preservation orders on them.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional. We supply a base service if you should require it.

We constantly strive to ensure all our materials and techniques are the best that we can source and provide. We lead the market in producing exceptional quality timber buildings. Couple this with our personal and bespoke service and you will be totally delighted with your building.
