Timber Garages

Timber Garages

A wooden garage from Passmores is attractive to look at, environmentally responsible and excellent value for money.

Our traditional free standing wooden garages are available in 30 standard sizes from 4.8m x 3.0m (16' x 10') to 7.2m x 7.2m (24' x 24') so there's bound to be a building that's right for you.

Every timber garage that we manufacture can be specified with a 22° pitch boarded and felted roof or with a steeper pitch to suit conventional tiles or slates. Typical roof pitch for slates and interlocking concrete tiles is 25°- 30° and 35° for plain tiles (maximum pitch on 7.2m (24') span is 30°).

For something a bit out of the ordinary please email us a sketch of your requirements and we will be delighted to provide a quotation.

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') supporting a 15mm osb roof deck. This roof is so strong that PV solar panels can be fitted on top without the need for any modifications.

Standard roof finish is a 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.

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.
