Wooden Garages Made From The Finest Swedish Timber

Wooden Garages Made From The Finest Swedish Timber

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

Passmores wooden garages are made from the finest 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 timber frame garages. 

Made from ethically-sourced timber in 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. 

 

Wooden Garages Size Options

We have a wide range of free-standing wooden garages for sale. 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, double garage, or even a triple garage, there will most certainly be an outbuilding that is right for you and your home. If you have a larger property with more space, you might even want a four-bay garage or a bespoke five-bay garage. We have premium options available, and can work to your specific requirements. 

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.

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.
