The true beauty of a Multi-Use Timber Building lies in its flexibility that it can give you. Scotts can combine garages with workshops or tool sheds or even offices to create the ideal solution.

Key Features

  • The ideal solution to combine your garage, workshop or office.
  • Flexibility in design and approach to your project, Scotts Multi-Use Timber Buildings can be personalised as required.
  • Timber buildings offer natural insulation.

With the design and manufacturing expertise, Scotts are able to offer you a unique solution personalised to suit your individual requirements. Scotts are able to guide you through the whole process, from planning, to design, through to installation.

You will be required to prepare a concrete base, as specified by Scotts, ready to take the completed Timber Building. Scotts can offer a dedicated service with respect to the groundworks and concrete base, from initial specification through to completion on site, ready for the erection of your Timber Outbuilding. Therefore, if you are looking for a turnkey solution, Scotts can offer the whole package. Further details of the groundwork services are available on request.

Specification

Scotts Timber Outbuildings are designed and built bespoke to your needs and each detail has been carefully specified.

Exterior

Wall Frames

The size of framing for your Timber Outbuilding will be dependent on the size and weight of the roof covering. The building is fixed through the two course brick upstand into the concrete base using chemical bolts.

Wall Cladding

The cladding, as standard, utilises Scotts pattern Tongue and Groove shiplap boarding machined from European Redwood. However, you can specify feather edged boarding or a special profile, if desired, to create a more traditional feel. The timber is vacuum pressure impregnated using Osmose Naturewood to promote a long, maintenance free life. The cladding is affixed to a durable timber frame construction.

Roofing

A wide range of roofing materials, such as felt, felt tiles, Metrotile, sedum and cedar shingles can be used to suit individual customer preference. Alternatively, Trussed Rafters can be supplied to take clay or slate tiles, so that the Outbuilding can blend in with existing buildings. 

Trussed Rafter roofs are supplied as standard, manufactured by Scotts own specialist Roof Structures Division. They can be supplied at a pitch to suit the chosen roof material. The Room-in-Roof Trussed Rafter is a simple and economical way of providing additional storage space within your Timber Outbuilding.

Doors

Pressure impregnated, timber framed, ledged and braced doors are available to the required dimensions and can be stained if required. Steel and timber up-and-over doors are also offered, with a vast range of colours and finishes to choose from. The up-and-over doors can be supplied with a remote control option if desired. Taller and wider garage door options for other vehicles can be accommodated as necessary and the Scotts team can offer advice as needed.

Framed, ledged and braced side entrance doors can also be included within the design, for quick and easy access. The side doors can be supplied in almost any size and finish to suit.

Windows

Standard casement windows can be specified into any of the designs for additional light and ventilation. Specialist windows can be designed into any of the Scotts Timber Outbuildings.

Paint Finish

Scotts Bespoke Multi-Use Building is supplied in a pressure treated wood finish but you can specify a paint or stain to suit your surroundings. When decoration is required, a microporous stain or paint finish is ordinarily applied in the manufacturing process prior to the panels being assembled, ensuring all the tongues are individually painted. A final coat is applied on site at the installation stage.

Scotts is pleased to offer a wide variety of stain and paint finishes and can supply colour charts and samples at the order stage, as required.

Additionally, doors, barge boards and finials can be painted in contrasting tones to enhance the overall appearance and to create a distinctive and unique look.

Lining & Insulation

For the complete finishing effect, a variety of linings can be incorporated, from plywood and V313 to tongued and grooved boarding. Insulation can be incorporated within the side walls and roof area, as required.

A breather paper and moisture barrier will then be fitted. When insulation is fitted to the roof, the underside of the roof trusses is then lined with plywood or an alternative material of your choice.

Optional Extras

Scotts Multi-Use Buildings can be enhanced with a number of optional extras that can customise your building even further. At Scotts, we pay extra attention to the finer details to provide a timber building suited to your individual requirements.
