If you’re thinking of a custom wooden garage that perfectly complements your home and meets all your needs, you’re in the right place.
Making your vision a reality is what we’re all about at Shields Buildings, however that may look to you.
Creating, designing, and building the wooden garage you’re dreaming of is something we are passionate about and with our years of experience in crafting bespoke wooden structures, you know you can rely on our expertise.
We understand the importance of durability, quality, and creating a wooden garage that can truly stand the test of time…
What Are The Benefits Of Custom Wooden Garages?
Our custom wooden garages are a perfect marriage between aesthetic appeal and high quality, bespoke construction, meaning your creation looks the way you want it to, stands the test of time AND fits perfectly with your house and garden.
After all, you don’t want a beautiful wooden garage that sticks out like a sore thumb!
The goal should always be to complement the existing buildings and landscape to create a harmonious look that you can be proud of… and that’s what we love to do here at Shields Buildings.
Our construction methods are highly versatile, so you’ve got plenty of customisation options. Whether you need additional storage space, a workshop, or a multi-functional area, a custom wooden garage can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.
Not only that, but wood is also incredibly durable, meaning that, as long as it’s properly treated and maintained, your wooden garage will withstand everything that the British weather has to throw at it.
And as we all know, that’s probably a lot of wind and rain!
As wood is a renewable resource, it’s also environmentally friendly in comparison to a lot of other building materials. Plus, it has natural insulating properties, which means it keeps your energy bills down if you need to heat it (also great for the environment).
If you need your wooden garage to work in a variety of ways, we will discuss your very own, bespoke combination building. You then have the option of high quality insulation and multiple internal finishes to evolve your wooden garage into a space suitable for using as a workshop, studio, additional living space or anything you might have in mind – we’ve seen it all, so whatever you’re thinking, we can make it a reality.
Custom wooden garages can significantly increase the value of your property, too – potential buyers often appreciate the added functionality and aesthetic appeal of a well-designed wooden garage, making your property more attractive on the market.
Naturally, that’s not often the first reason that people buy a wooden garage, but it’s a nice added bonus!
Here at Shields, we have been manufacturing wooden garages for over 30 years, so we have it down to a fine art. This means constructing wooden garages is easier than you think to – they can be built relatively quickly compared to a lot of other structures. That also results in less disruption for you AND a quicker turnaround so you can enjoy your wooden garage in double quick time.
With all of our garages (and carports), they’re built around a substantial wooden framework so that it can stand the test of time while looking easy on the eye.
You’ve got plenty of options when it comes to personalising your Shields’ wooden garage, too. Whether you’re looking for a single or double, different external or internal finishes or even want to choose your own roof style and colour, we can certainly help and design a wooden garage that you will love.
How Does Shields Buildings Personalise Garage Designs?
At Shields Buildings, we turn your vision into a reality through a personalisation process that begins with your initial ideas.
Whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s storage, security, or a comfortable place to tinker, our wooden garages are the ideal solution.
The first step is usually a site visit by one of our team to discuss removal options for any existing buildings and to advise on preparation for the laying of your garage foundations – we will even provide detailed plans for your builder to work to and answer any questions during the ground work phase.
Oh, and if planning permission is required then we’re happy to advise with that and prepare any applications too.
Your enclosed wooden garage is built to last with a substantial wooden framework, pressure-treated timber throughout and a bespoke build to the exact size YOU want – that’s the name of the game with our personalisation process.
All of our garages are fitted with secure heavy-duty doors, high security long throw locks and galvanised door furniture as standard. Alternatively, if you are looking to have an electric garage door installed, we can create a made-to-measure aperture for you, making the process as simple as possible.
You’ll also get a waterproof membrane included, as well as natural light if you need it in your garage thanks to the addition of roof lights or windows.
Our wooden garages are hand-crafted to make sure they’re personalised for every project, so if you’ve got anything specific in mind, we can help make it 100% yours.
If the size of your garage is a concern, fear not! We tailor our design to fit your specific dimensions. Need a wider garage? Our 6m wide garages feature two 2.4m x 2m high doors and a single personnel side door, offering flexibility and functionality.
Windows can significantly enhance the look and feel of your garage. Particularly useful if you plan to work in there and need extra light.
Last but not least, we use only the highest quality, slow growing, northern European, pressure treated timber cladding throughout our range, ensuring nothing but the best. At Shields Buildings we guarantee that your custom wooden garage will not be just a functional space but a beautiful addition to your property that can stand the test of time.
What Materials And Techniques Are Used By Shields Buildings?
Shields Buildings primarily uses high-quality, sustainably sourced timber for constructing custom wooden garages. This ensures that each structure is not only robust and durable but also environmentally friendly.
The timber is treated to resist rot, decay, and insect infestation, enhancing the longevity of the garage.
To complement the timber, we also incorporate other materials such as galvanised steel for fixtures and fittings. This choice of material ensures that the structural integrity of the garage is maintained over time, as galvanised steel is resistant to rust and corrosion.
The finishing touches are equally important, though, which is why we use high-quality paints, stains, and sealants to protect the timber and enhance its natural beauty. These finishes are chosen not only for their protective qualities but also for their ability to complement the overall design of the garage.
When you choose Shields Buildings, you’re opting for bespoke craftsmanship that aligns with your unique vision.
A custom wooden garage goes beyond simple storage solutions, it’s here to fit your precise purpose, whether it’s keeping a classic car safe and in storage, being your new workshop, or anything you’ve got your mind set on. By giving you that personal touch, we ensure that your dream becomes a reality – and one that lasts year after year after year.
