Platinum ‘Basingstoke’ Timber Garages – Are They Too Good to be True?
When considering buying a garage there are many things to consider and this includes making sure the quality of the garage is ‘top-notch’ and that the most suitable materials are used. Another important consideration is that any garage you are thinking is buying creates a good impression in your garden. And this is where timber shines out. The natural appearance of timber fits nicely in your garden and creates a welcome addition to your home. The look of these Platinum garages will be a great home for your car and will give you a feeling of pride. This is a strange thing to say but these buildings can do that.
These Garages are Built to an Unbeatable Standard NOT Down to a Price
These Platinum ‘Basingstoke’ garages are amazing with the attention to detail – from the wrap-around corner strips, the built-in vents ( a very special feature in these Platinum garages) in the roof and the double diagonal bracing in each corner. The barn-style garage doors add to the overall quality feel. They are some of the best garages we have offered for sale in our 34 years in the industry. Take a look at these garages before you commit elsewhere to avoid later regret.
Choice of Claddings and Extra Thick Roof Timbers as Standard
These timber buildings are soundly constructed from a choice of claddings, all of which are redwood deal, not the cheaper whitewood normally used. All cladding is T&G for extra strength and varies in thickness up to 20mm. Combined with the extra strong cladding is the superb Onduline roof with an expected 15-year life against leaking. Soundly built on 12mm T&G boarding and not the OSB used on the Tunstall garages. This is truly a serious wooden garage which will meet all your needs. And to help you make your mind up take a look at the Platinum buildings at our timber garage display site just off the M25, close to Guildford in Surrey and judge for yourself.
These Platinum Garages Can Be Made to Your Exact Requirements
Besides the high standard specifications you can have them in a size to suit you and your home. You can add extra windows and personal doors, all of which can be positioned to suit you and your needs. There is also a choice for security windows or even a partition so your new wooden garage can be split into a garage for your car and a workshop for you. Besides, that one combined building would look a whole lot better than two buildings. .
Garages Are Available to View Before Buying
You will have your idea of your ideal building and this is certainly true with timber garages. To achieve this you need to view them ‘in the flesh’ so to speak or at least deal with a company which does display their range of garages for the public to see. This will ensure the company in question is offering a quality well-made garage which will last a very long time. For your peace of mind this Platinum ‘Basingstoke’ has an expected design life against rotting for 15 years.
You will find many companies expecting you to buy from a brochure or computer screen with no opportunity to view beforehand and this can be a little worrying. Why don’t they offer any options to view? Are they afraid their range of buildings won’t stand up to scrutiny? Do they have something to hide? Whatever the reason be a little wary before spending a lot of money on a new garage. Try to spend a little time looking at garages before committing yourself, maybe at a wooden garage display site like this one. You know you should buy with your eyes open.
All Garages Include Free Fitting as Well As Delivery to Most of England
Some companies say you can build these garages yourself but the fact is that this would be hard work. It’s also crucial that they are built correctly to ensure the longest life for your new garage. These Platinum ‘Basingstoke’ garages come with free assembly or erection and there is NO extra charge for this – how good is that? So take advantage of this service and put your feet up. Delivery of these superb buildings also INCLUDES free delivery to most of mainland England. In Wales, Scotland and the extremes of England, there will be a delivery charge.
