Making the most of what you have.
Britain has some of the smallest homes in Europe. Progressively over the years, the shortage of development land has caused house-builders to
squeeze more and more houses onto smaller and smaller plots, with the result that room sizes, as well as overall internal space has shrunk to almost unacceptable levels.
We know what YOU want!
From selling garden and similar sheds on-line we learned of the growing need that people have for somewhere to store and keep a wide range of personal, sports, and work goods, tools and equipment safely and securely as well as a need for well insulated workspaces for hobby rooms or home offices.
Unique Adaptable Affordable System
By designing a unique system-built range of adaptable structures, ‘Grand Garages’ addresses all of these needs. Better still, through clever use of technology and design it does so at remarkably low prices – thus addressing perhaps the most important need, that of ‘affordability’.
A Design that Grows with You
Designed to be demountable, you can consider your Grand Garage either as a permanent feature of your property, or as something to take with you when you move. Either way, it is bound to keep – and improve – its value, as well as that of your property, wherever you put it. A ‘grand’ investment indeed.
Specification - and ‘expandability’
Grand Garages’ heavy duty, precision manufactured frames enable you, for example, to start with the smallest “Croft” or “Monaco” garage with a low pitch roof that keeps the structure below the planning permission requirement of many local authorities. At this size many people find that DIY erection is possible by 2 people in around one day. As and when the need arises - or the funds become available – you can add to this structure, either at the end, the side, or by replacing the roof - whenever you want too.
Foundations
Heavy Duty Polythene DPC 100mm wide 38 x 89 treated sole plate Side fix sole plate clips with masonry nails.
Walls
38 x 89 treated timbers clad in either 15mm OSB ready for painting or to receive subsequent cladding, or 15mm T&G boarding (you can clad over this as well).
Wall Fixings
60mm ‘Olympic’ style hexagonal headed screw fasteners join panels to sole plate, head binder and adjacent panels—so that they can be demounted again whenever you want to do this.
Windows
Simple timber frames, or uPVC D/G security frames, depending on model.
Roof
Site assembled Half trusses and 9mm OSB connector Plates, screw fixed over ‘King Post’ at half truss join. 18mm OSB roof deck screw fixed to truss & gables EPDM membrane mechanically fixed at verges, or glued to OSB roof deck. (Maybe run into gutters if required.)
Trim
25x125 fascia & barge boards. 10mm thick cover and post strips screwed in place.
Doors
Vertical T&G boarded, ledged and braced doors (may be replaced, e.g. with heavier or up-and-over doors)
Finish
All timber is left untreated to receive your choice of finish.
