Oak-Fronted Garages
Our Heritage Front garages combine the strength and character of traditional green oak framing with a highly efficient timber superstructure.
The result is a building that retains the visual impact of an oak-framed garage — while offering a more streamlined construction approach to the sides and rear.

Planning-Friendly Design
Many of our oak-fronted garages and carports are designed to fall within Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission is often not required.
​
This can significantly simplify the process for homeowners, allowing the building to be installed without the delays typically associated with planning applications.
​
As every property is different, we always recommend confirming eligibility with your local planning authority.
