Ensure proper ventilation to reduce moisture buildup.

Regularly inspect the building for signs of wear or damage and address any issues promptly.

Regular maintenance will help extend the life of your workshop and keep it in optimal condition.

What can I store in a timber workshop?

Timber workshops offer flexible storage solutions and can accommodate:

Tools and hardware.
Garden equipment and machinery.
Bicycles and outdoor gear.
DIY project materials and supplies.
Seasonal items and furniture.

The spacious and customisable design allows you to organise and store various items efficiently.

Does a timber workshop have insulation?

Yes, our timber workshops can be effectively insulated to provide a comfortable environment year-round. We offer insulation options for walls and floors, using materials like rockwool or Celotex solid panels. Insulation is recommended if you plan to use the workshop as an office, studio, or for any purpose where temperature control is important.

What size timber workshop should I buy?

The size of your timber workshop should align with its intended use. Consider the space required for your activities and storage needs. Our workshops come in various sizes and layouts, including straight, L-shaped, or U-shaped designs.Common sizes include:

Small: 2.4m x 2.4m
Medium: 3.6m x 3.0m
Large: 5.4m x 3.6m

Custom sizes are also available to suit your specific requirements.

Can a timber workshop be converted into an office?

Yes, our timber workshops are versatile and can be customised to serve various purposes, including home offices, studios, or hobby rooms. With options for insulation, electrical installations, and interior finishes, you can create a comfortable and functional workspace tailored to your needs.

What foundation is needed for a timber workshop?

A solid and level foundation is crucial for the stability and longevity of a timber workshop. Our buildings require a concrete foundation with a single course of bricks below the timber framing. We provide a full base plan and can often recommend a contractor. We also have our own professional groudworks team that may cover your area.

How secure are timber workshops?

Our timber workshops are designed with security in mind. They feature sturdy construction and can be equipped with secure doors and windows. Additional security measures, such as galvanised hinges and lockable doors, can be incorporated to enhance protection for your equipment and tools.

What is the best type of wood for a durable timber workshop?

All our workshops are built using pressure-treated, sustainably sourced timber. This treatment enhances the wood's resistance to rot and insect damage, making it an excellent choice for durable, long-lasting structures.

How long do timber workshops last?

Our timber workshops are constructed using high-quality, pressure-treated, sustainably sourced timber, ensuring durability and longevity. With proper maintenance, these workshops can last for decades. We offer a five-year workmanship guarantee on all our buildings, reflecting our commitment to quality.
