Our Timber Garage is built to an exceptionally high standard and is a pleasant change from the traditional steel or pre-fabricated concrete garages. A Timber Garage can instantly add value to your property whilst only needing the bare minimum of building works. With no floor, this provides easy and straight forward access for your car, bike or ride-on lawn mower.
Choice of Timber Cladding
Cladding on the Timber Garage is available in a choice of 12mm deal shiplap, 18mm premier deal shiplap, 15mm deal Loglap or 15mm Tanalised E deal. The 12mm deal, 18mm premier deal shiplap and 15mm deal Loglap are pre-treated with a high quality, water-based wood preserver inside and out. The 15mm Tanalised E deal has a reputation for longevity, since the boards are placed in a pressure vessel and the preservative is forced deeper into the timber. The cladding has a green/yellow colour which is well liked but our recommendation is to re-treat it shortly after installation, and then annually afterwards - just as with the other cladding options to keep it in tip-top condition.

The Timber Garage is supplied as standard with a Green or Red colour mineral felt.

The Timber Garage from Fort Original garden buildings offers a secure and solid storage solution. No floor is provided allowing easy access to store bikes, ride-on lawnmowers or possibly your car (depending on what car you have!)
There are four cladding options with the timber garage: 12mm Deal, 18mm Premier Deal, 15mm Loglap Deal or 15mm Tanalised Deal.
50mm x 50mm framing is used throughout construction with ledged, braced and framed doors supplied. Heavy duty hinges and lockable doors (double doors on the front and a single door on the side) are as standard. A three pane window (two fixed and one opening) allows plenty of light in.
This is the standard external tongued and grooved cladding used on all of our Fort sheds, summerhouses and playhouses. The finished thickness after machining is 12mm. It is treated with a good quality preservative prior to leaving the factory but we do recommend that you re-coat within a few months and preferably in the late autumn each year. You can purchase the appropriate timber treatment from us if you wish.
If you wish, you can upgrade to 18mm thick external cladding. This makes for a much sturdier and heavier playhouse. This is still treated with a good quality preservative in the same way as the standard cladding and the same recommendations for re-coating it apply.
If you wish, you can upgrade to 15mm thick tanalised external cladding. Tanalised, or pressure treated timber, has a reputation for longevity since the boards are placed in a pressure vessel and the preservative is forced deeper into the timber. The cladding has a green/yellow colour which is well liked but our recommendation is to re-treat it shortly after installation, and then annually afterwards just as with the other cladding options to keep it in tip-top condition.
Tanalised buildings include tanalised floors, roofs, doors, windows, and framing... in other words the whole building !
The picture shows the optional loglap cladding available with any of our Fort Original buildings. 15mm is measured at the widest point of the tongued and grooved board. The internal face is the normal smooth face you get on our standard cladding. This is a cladding that is chosen predominantly for its looks rather than any technical advantage. After care is the same as for our other cladding options described here.
Shown here on one of our summerhouses, this building has been painted with 'swiss blue' and white. If you choose a paint finish then you can have a maximum of two colours, generally used so that the highlights are one colour and the main body of the building another.
The paint is applied at the factory after the building has been preservative treated and therefore requires a couple of extra weeks on top of the normal delivery time. This means that the internal finish is the normal preservative colour rather than the external colour.
With 12 colours to choose from the possibilities are ( almost ) endless !
This sample board illustrates the colour options available.
These are an attractive and hard wearing alternative to standard roofing felt.
Four colour choices are available : Black, slate, red, or green.

We take pride in making sure that your building will arrive in perfect condition - that is why we use our own team of drivers and fitters. As with all of our garden buildings, we like to provide our customers with a suitable delivery time. We always give good notice of our arrival date allowing you to be sure it is the right time for you. We always appreciate any helpful information regarding access to your pre-prepared base area, plus any details you may need to share with us about reaching you - so that the delivery process can run as smoothly as possible.
Our Fort Original Garages all come with optional installation. If you are thinking about having your garage installed by our skilled team of fitters, please be aware that you will need to have a good, strong, level base, pre-prepared prior to your delivery date. We would normally recommend a base constructed from either slabs or concrete. We will always confirm these details with you at point of order and we will provide you with base plans if needed. These measures ensure that no detail is left out - ensuring that your timber garage will be both delivered and installed without any inconvenience.
Our delivery times can vary from season to season. All of our buildings are made to order, so during the busy spring to summer seasons, this may increase depending on the building that you have purchased. Please feel free to contact us on 0800 999 0123 to check our current delivery times.
