Wooden Garage Guide – The Benefits
Wooden garages are the more aesthetically traditional choice. Unlike their concrete and metal counterparts, timber is a natural insulator, due to the air pockets within its cellular structure.
So, if you’re looking for a storage area which you’ll be able to spend a lot of time in, especially during the colder months, then a wooden garage can be your best bet! Compared to metal or concrete garages, it’ll be much warmer during the wintertime.
Other than being a natural insulator, here are some of the other brilliant benefits that come with a wooden garage:
- Aesthetically Pleasing – They can be easily customised or painted to suit the style of your garden.
- Easy to Assemble – They’re considered to be the easiest type of garage to construct in any garden setting.
- Low Maintenance – They can be easily spruced up when they loses their varnish, stain, or paint after a few years. This means that they often require little

Other criteria to consider:
- With buildings, containers, and enclosures found on designated land, including natural parks, world heritage sites and other conservation areas, planning permission will be required.
- Any outbuilding within the boundary or curtilage of a listed building will require planning permission.
Note: Bear in mind that these development allowances are only applicable to houses and not maisonettes, flats, or other building types. If you wish to construct a wooden garage or a different type of garden building on one of those premises, it’s best to consider guidance for those specific properties.
Wooden Garage Guide – Consider the Number of Vehicles and the Size of Your Backyard
It’s crucial that you take account of the number of cars you own and how much space is available in your garden space. This will help you to choose the ideal size for your wooden garage.
The BillyOh Aston Wooden Garage is 3.9m (width) x 5.7m (depth), making it more than large enough to comfortably house the vast majority of cars.
Tip: Before placing your order, ensure that you know exactly what size you need, including width, height and depth, so you won’t end up wasting your money.
