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.
