Garages made from ethically-sourced timber

Garages made from ethically-sourced timber

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 the home counties 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.

So whether you’re in the home counties, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Sussex, Cambridgeshire or Norfolk, we are here to help.
