Timber garages made from ethically-sourced wood

Our skilled craftsmen only use ethically sourced timber from Northern Sweden. For every tree that is harvested, two more are planted, ensuring the forests are never depleted. So you know that your timber garage is not just great value but also built with the environment in mind. 

We are proud to have achieved certification under the Forest Stewardship Council ® Chain of Custody Scheme (FSC® Licence Code FSC-C013961) which means that all timber we buy from Stenvalls, our principle Swedish supplier, and garages we build can be traced back to certified, sustainable forests. Look for our FSC® - certified products.

We are also one of the very few timber manufacturers covering Devon 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 list here.

Like many Devon residents, we're passionate about protecting our natural environment. Our sustainable practices align with Devon's environmental commitments, particularly important in a county known for its two coastlines, moorland habitats, and protected landscapes. We source our wood from responsibly managed forests in Northern Sweden, supporting Devon's environmental goals while ensuring your garage can withstand our varied maritime climate.

We understand Devon's varied architectural heritage. For homes in historic areas like Tavistock or Topsham, we offer traditional styling with heritage features. For contemporary properties in areas like Plymouth or Barnstaple, we can suggest modern door design options. Our timber weather protection is particularly suited to exposed coastal areas like Ilfracombe and Dawlish.

Yes, many of our Devon customers successfully build their own garages using our ready-to-build kits, saving up to 12% on costs. Each kit comes with clear instructions and all necessary parts. We understand local planning considerations, particularly important in Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, coastal AONBs, and conservation areas. We can provide guidance specific to your location, whether you're on the English Riviera or high up on the moors.

Devon's unique climate, influenced by both the English and Bristol Channels, demands exceptionally robust construction. Our slow-grown timber is specially treated to handle maritime conditions, from summer heat to powerful winter storms. Many of our existing garages in Devon have stood strong for over 50 years, proving their durability in some of Britain's most varied weather conditions.

We regularly deliver throughout Devon, from Sidmouth to Bideford and everywhere in between.

For installation, our experienced team typically completes a double garage within 2 days, working considerately in all conditions and mindful of local access requirements. Please call us for the latest garage delivery windows.
