When it comes to choosing a wooden garage that’s right for you and your home, knowing where to begin can be easier said than done.
At Shields Buildings, we’ve been crafting bespoke wooden buildings for more than 30 years and we’ve built more than our fair share of wooden garages.
This means we know everything there is to know about garden buildings and how to navigate any challenges that you might encounter, as well as the benefits a good wooden garage can bring.
Timeless Aesthetic Appeal
When you’re opting for a new garage, there might be a few different motivating factors.
One of those is bound to be to fulfil a specific purpose, whether you’re housing a classic car, looking to create a specific space for a hobby or craft, or just as an addition to your property.
But aside from that, being able to craft and build a wooden garage that delivers style AND substance is a serious bonus.
Being able to match the warmth and harmony that your home oozes is what makes bespoke wooden garages a great option.
Wood has the warmth and character that give it a lasting appeal, while our customisation options give you the flexibility to complement any architectural style from traditional cottages to modern homes and everything in between.
The organic textures and tones of timber create a harmonious blend with your property’s surroundings, enhancing your home’s curb appeal and potentially increasing its value too.
Built To Stand The Test Of Time
Our wooden garages aren’t just built to stand the stylistic test of time, they’re built to literally stand the test of time by being robust and weatherproofed.
You’ve got the freedom to choose the wood finish, roofing material, size, layout and colour, so you can ensure that everything aligns with your style.
But aside from that, wooden garages are actually incredibly durable and long-lasting when properly designed, constructed, and maintained. Our expertise in selecting high-quality timber and employing advanced treatment techniques ensures that your wooden garage will stand the test of time.
Modern wood treatments and finishes provide excellent protection against the elements and our wooden garages are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and UV radiation.
Although we suspect it’s much more likely to be the first two than the last one.
The natural properties of the wood mean it can expand and contract with temperature changes, which reduces the risk of warping and cracking over time, ensuring your wooden garage is built to last.
Low Maintenance Wooden Garages
With proper initial treatment and occasional upkeep, wooden garages require minimal maintenance.
That’s great news because the last thing anyone needs is another job for the never ending to-do list, right?!
A simple annual inspection and reapplication of wood preservatives every few years are usually sufficient to keep your garage in top condition.
Which is also another reason that it’s such a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice!
Because there’s no need to re-treat, amend, or add anything to your wooden garage to keep it in tip-top shape. Wood is a renewable resource, and we source all of our wood responsibly, so your carbon footprint remains low when compared to steel, concrete and most other building materials.
Wooden Garages Are SO Versatile
A wooden garage is much more than just somewhere to park your car.
It’s a space that adds value to your property, but more importantly, it’s a space that can be adapted to be whatever you want.
With thoughtful design, your wooden garage can serve multiple purposes – it can double as a workshop, a home gym, or garden furniture storage, among other things.
Because the natural ambiance of wood creates a pleasant environment for various activities, you can make your garage a true extension of your living space.
And as your needs change over time, you can easily modify, update, and expand your wooden garage to create the space you need.
The workability of wood means that any adaptations are much simpler and more cost-effective than with other materials, so you’ll always have that flexibility.
