Wooden Garages

With proper care and maintenance, a wooden garage can last for decades. Palmako’s wooden garage kits use premium Nordic spruce sourced from sustainably managed forests, which is dense, durable, and long-lasting. Regular treatment and upkeep will help ensure a long lifespan.

1. Strength and Longevity:
Modern wooden garages, especially those made from kiln-dried Nordic spruce, are highly durable. When properly treated and maintained, they can last for decades, standing up well to the UK's variable weather. Timber naturally offers strong load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for both vehicles and storage.

2. Natural Insulation:
Wood is a natural insulator, helping to maintain more stable internal temperatures than metal garages. This can be beneficial if you're storing tools or equipment or using the garage as a workspace.

3. Customisation and Aesthetics:
Timber garages blend seamlessly with traditional and modern properties alike. Many models offer options for custom features, such as different roof styles, door types, window layouts, and timber thicknesses. This allows homeowners to match the structure to the surrounding architecture and tailor the garage to their exact needs. You can also add additional insulation, such as double-glazed windows and doors.

4. Environmentally Friendly:
When sourced from responsibly managed forests, wood is a renewable, eco-friendly building material. It has a lower carbon footprint compared to concrete or steel, and it's biodegradable at the end of its life cycle.

5. Ease of Assembly and Planning Permission:
Most wooden garage kits are designed for DIY-friendly assembly and come with pre-cut, precision-milled components. In the UK, many timber garages are under 2.5m in height, which typically means they do not require planning permission, though it’s always best to check local regulations.

6. Cost-Effective Over Time:
While the upfront cost can vary depending on size and features, wooden garages often provide better long-term value. Timber structures are easier to insulate, repair, and adapt, making them a smart investment.

7. Versatile Use Cases:
Beyond vehicle storage, wooden garages are increasingly used as home workshops, garden storage, hobby rooms, or even home gyms. Their flexible design means they can evolve with your needs over time.

In short, if you're looking for a high-performance, attractive, and eco-conscious solution, a wooden garage is absolutely a good investment.

Choosing a Palmako wooden garage means selecting a product that combines durability, sustainability, and modern manufacturing techniques. Here are several reasons why Palmako is the best choice:

Our sustainable practices ensure that you’re making an eco-conscious investment.

In many cases, you don't need planning permission to build a wooden garage, but it depends on several factors. Under UK permitted development rules, a garden garage can usually be built without permission if it meets the following conditions:

- It's no more than 2.5 metres high if built within 2 metres of a boundary

- It doesn’t take up more than 50% of the garden area

- It’s for domestic use only, not for business or living accommodation

- It’s not located in a conservation area or attached to a listed building

Many of our wooden garages are specifically designed to comply with these rules, making them a popular choice for hassle-free installation.

However, local regulations can vary, and exceptions may apply based on your location, property type, or intended use. It’s always best to check with your local planning authority before starting construction.

Palmako offers free standard delivery to the mainland UK. For more remote areas, such as parts of Scotland and the Channel Islands, there is a surcharge of £150. Delivery is typically within 6 weeks, with express delivery options available for quicker turnaround.

Palmako log cabins, including our wooden garages, are designed to be easy to construct. We recommend that at least two people build the garage. Basic DIY tools such as a hammer, saw, measuring tape, and cordless drill are sufficient.

If you’d prefer professional assistance, Palmako also offers a construction service, and we can help arrange a team to build your garage.

Be sure to first check with local authorities about planning permission requirements. In most cases, you won’t need planning permission as long as certain conditions are met.

Palmako offers a five-year warranty on all our timber garage kits. This warranty covers the replacement of any defective components but does not cover damage due to accidents, extreme weather conditions, or natural wood imperfections such as knots and splits. Palmako’s use of Nordic spruce ensures strength and durability, even in extreme conditions.

Palmako offers a variety of garage options to suit your needs:

Single Log Cabin Garages: Ideal for those who need a smaller, more compact space for one vehicle or as extra storage. These single garages are designed with simplicity and functionality in mind.

Double Garages: Perfect for households with two vehicles or additional storage requirements, giving you ample space to securely park cars, store gardening tools, or create a functional workshop.

Garages with Canopy: Some of our garage models come with a canopy, providing extra shelter for your vehicle or additional storage space for tools, bikes, or other outdoor equipment.

Pitched Roof Wooden Garages: If you prefer a traditional look, we offer garages with a pitched roof, which adds to the aesthetic appeal and provides extra space for attic storage or enhanced water runoff.

Flat Roof Garages: For a modern, sleek design, we offer garages with flat roofs, offering a minimalist style that blends seamlessly into your garden or home environment.
