We are also one of the very few timber manufacturers that is clear and transparent with our pricing. On this website, you can find a cost for your garden building or view our detailed price lists here. If you need any help then just give us a call. We are here to help

Timber Carriage Houses

Timber Carriage Houses

Carriage Houses are one of our best-selling buildings. A Passmore Carriage House will complement your property and provide an excellent open-fronted garage for your vehicles. By combining softwood framing and cladding with a genuine oak garage entrance frame, we are able to offer a single or double carriage house that is practical, looks beautiful and which represents excellent value for money. All our buildings are prefabricated and we sell our carriage house in kit format, so you build your own if you would prefer.

Timber Open Barns

Timber Open Barns

Our Open Barn with rear catslide roof is a stunning addition to our popular oak fronted Carriage House range. Until recently a rear cat slide roof combined with low eaves height was reserved only for the bespoke oak frame manufacturers at great expense. Here at Passmores we have developed our Carriage House to incorporate a rear cat slide roof and have combined this with oak frames front and rear to create an economical and attractive alternative.
