Timber car barns & car ports not just for luxury developers
This time last year, we reflected on a growing trend by developers to install bespoke timber car barns ahead of traditional brick-built garages.
And while back then it was suggested these attractive oak-fronted timber garages, car barns or car ports were the domain of luxury developers, today Scotts wooden craftsmanship and expert timber engineering is also being called on by the UK’s largest volume housebuilders.
Modern households of multiple occupancy put increasing demands on the need for off-road parking and an attractive timber framed car port – aesthetically more pleasing than brick – can help differentiate a developer’s product from that of a competitor.
Our innovative car port designs are tailored to suit individual housing developments and offer a cost-effective solution, compared to steel and masonry, and can also be used for cycle and bin storage.
A bespoke car barn meanwhile, whether a single or four bay design, can add value to any new housing development by creating not only that all important shelter for cars, but also providing additional storage space. Our car barns are prefabricated offsite and installed in half the time it takes to build a traditional brick structure.
Whichever car parking solution is required, here at Scotts, design is vitally important to us and our in-house architects work with developers so that our highly engineered, prefabricated structures are in keeping with the aesthetic and character of the new house styles and local surroundings.
We pride ourselves on being specialists in the design, manufacture and installation of our timber products, meeting specific planning and site requirements and complementing new build properties. Equally at home with a bespoke one-off project or the demands of a busy development of new homes, Scotts continues to deliver inspiration, experience and expertise.
