Building a Garage or Carport

We all drive cars, and when we move into a home, we require a secure place to park the car. Garages, and more recently carports, are the ideal place to keep your vehicle, and the space can be used for other things at certain times. A place to store gardening equipment, or the summer furniture during the winter months, and with the right design, you can effectively use wall and ceiling space. If you don’t own a car, think of it as an additional building, that can be used for a multitude of things. Evening summer parties are perfect, with large doors that fully retract to bring your garden into play.

Garages

The garage is the place to park the car at nights, and is popular for the security it provides. With innovative designs, your garage can be so much more than just a place to park the car. Double garages are ideal for larger families that drive several vehicles, and they also provide a lot of extra storage space, which we could all use. The garage is ideal for activities, with the car outside, there is space to host the children’s birthday party, and with the right doors, your garden becomes a part of the experience, and it is an ideal place to escape the rain!

Carports

A carport will shelter your vehicle, and is a structure without walls, whichis usually attached to the side of the house,with supports at the opposite end, providing a roof over the space adjacent to the building. You can add walls at a later stage, to give you a more secure area. A carport can be used as a shady area for a party of family get-together, and its open design offers a relaxing place for lunch, or afternoon tea. There is a range of designs with either a flat or a gabled roof, so you can match the style of your house.

Customisedbuildings

People who have a lot of space on their property often decide to create a place where they can unwind, and relax. It might be art, working on the car, or maybe a small home-run business. This is your private space that is designed and equipped to facilitate your hobby. A reputable garage supplier would design the ideal structure for you, at a reasonable cost. The contractor would provide the essential equipment such as generators, jackhammers and screw compressors to break up concrete, and let’s not forget the scaffolding.

Traditionally smaller than a garage, the shed was around before cars appeared, and are ideal for storing items outside the house. A shed can be the ideal workshop, with everything tailored togive you the optimum working environment.
