British-made Timber Garages - Ethically Sourced from Sweden

Single, Double & 3-bay Timber Garages for over 100 years

Passmores timber garages are made from the finest quality timber, and are attractive, environmentally responsible and excellent value for money. With over 100 years under our belt, we are one of the UK's leading manufacturers of wooden frame garages. 

Made from ethically-sourced timber from Northern Sweden, each piece of timber is hand-machined at our manufacturing centre in Rochester, Kent. Our depth of knowledge, experience and expertise, means your garage will be built to last. 

As part of our production process, we use strict controls to ensure every timber building is built to the highest standards and with the environment in mind. 

 

Timber Garage Size Options

We have a wide range of free-standing wooden garages for sale (large and small). Our traditional garages are prefabricated and available in 30 standard sizes from 4.8m x 3.0m (16' x 10') to 7.2m x 7.2m (24' x 24'). So whether you need a single garage, a double timber garage, or even a large triple garage, there will most certainly be an outbuilding that is right for you and your home. If you have a more spacious property with more land, you may be pursuaded by a bigger four-bay garage or a bespoke five-bay garage. We have premium options available, and can work to your specific requirements. We can also add a log store or workshop on the side.

Our timber-clad garages can be used for every day vehicle storage, as classic car storage, as a garden machinery store, or a workshop. If you want to see our range of designs, there are plenty of size and style options in our wooden garage gallery.

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°). 

What's more, our garages don't cost the earth. They are much more affordable than oak garages, look just as stylish and last for years and years.
