Walls of our Carriage House (also called Cart Shed Garages) are 2.30m high and constructed from 4 x 2 CLS framework, diagonally braced or sheathed in 9mm osb as necessary.

Choose from 19 x 125 planed shiplap or 2 ex. 32 x 150 sawn featheredged weatherboard cladding. Both are machined from joinery grade Scandinavian Redwood timber to Passmores pattern with deep rebate and pressure treated for a long life with low maintenance.

The use by Passmores of high quality joinery grade redwood cladding is, we believe, unique in our industry. The benefits are increasingly felt as the building ages with reduced shrinkage and warping, fewer splits, curling and loose knots.

Our roof structure is demonstrably better than the majority of our competitors. Instead of widely spaced trusses and lightweight corrugated roof sheets we use house specification trusses spaced at 0.6m (2") intervals supporting a 15mm thick roof deck. This roof is so strong that PV solar panels can be fitted on top without the need for any modifications.

Our standard roof finish is high performance Ruberoid Challenger polyester 180 green mineral felt. Optional upgrades include Welsh grey mineral felt tiles or a multi layer felt roof built up in hot bitumen.

Design your building by selecting a 1, 2 or 3 bay Carriage House and then attach a Workshop, Garage or Log Store to it. Please see price list for all options.

We also offer an internal lining kit for Carriage Houses.

Frequently Asked Questions

This will usually depend on the size, height and location of the proposed new building.

If you are positioning the building close to a boundary or in front of the building line of your home when viewed from the road, then planning consent is usually required.

If the building is to be behind the house, more than 2.0m from a boundary and provided the ridge height is less than 4.0m, then you may not need permission, assuming it is for non business use. Most garden sheds and chalets therefore do not need local authority permission.

However, if you live in a listed property or within a conservation area then planning permission is nearly always required.

The Government Planning Portal www.planningportal.gov.uk contains a wealth of additional information and includes an interactive guide covering most circumstances.

We have over 35 buildings on display in our showground village in Strood, Kent. As well as a full range of Garden Buildings we also display examples of single and double Garages, Carriage Houses, Open Barns, Equestrian buildings and a Club Range with verandah.
