Our timber garages are constructed using 100mm x 38mm timber framing clad with tanalith BS8417 shiplap, bitumen paper and 4mm plywood lining. This garage, has 300mm overhangs to the sides with guttering down both sides, the overhang to the gable ends are 150mm. The eaves height on this large garage is 2.3m and it has two sets of insulated sectional garage doors, one in the gable end and one under the eaves. In addition to this there is a matching personnel door which has the slats matching and are level to each other from the floor.
The standard covering for the roof is a heavy duty felt or in this instance the customer opted for red / brown felt tiles which has a underfelt to ensure the roof is completely waterproof. Finally, 4 Velux windows were installed to provide secure natural light and ventilation when required
One concern for a number of customers is the damp proofing. When the sections are bolted through the single course of bricks into the concrete base the timber clad runs 50mm down the outside of the brick. In addition to this the vapour barrier also runs down the same distance ensuring no rain water can get into the building. One further measure is a DPC is attached to the bottom rail of the section which sits on the top of the brick and stops any moisture in the brick rising up into the timbers.
