Wooden garages: 3 reasons to build on your plot

When thinking about our own home, one of the important questions that need to be answered is whether wooden garages have to be included in the project. According to practice, garages are being replaced by sheds more often, however, several advantages encourage not to do it. Therefore, in this article, we have decided to discuss the 3 main reasons why a garage is still worth installing on your plot.

Comprehensive car protection

It is difficult to deny the fact that during the winter, wooden garages are inseparable from our maximum comfort. A special shed for a car can be a solution good enough for the warm season when the only phenomena that affect the car are sun and rain. However, in winter your vehicle needs much more protection than the shed could provide.

First of all, keeping the car indoors will prevent the engine from constant heating up, which takes a long time on cold winter mornings. If your trip to work is quite short, and the started engine does not even have time to warm up normally until you reach your destination, it will eventually affect the technical condition of the car. Of course, the decision to start your car a little earlier than the trip starts is a way out of this situation, but its consequences for the environment are far from positive, it also increases the car's fuel consumption. Secondly, the advantages of the garage during the winter are especially important in terms of our time - when storing the car under a roof, you have to scrape the frozen glass of the car every day. Your own garage will allow your morning trips to start as fluently as possible since all you will have to do is to start a warm car and drive.

The universal use of the garage

One of the main reasons why wooden garages are often replaced by an alternative roof is the lower installation prices of the shed. Therefore, it is worth mentioning that although the shed performs an essential function of the garage - it protects the car from rain, it can not be used as widely as the garage.

By carefully considering the project of a building for a car, a garage can become not only a place for the vehicle but also a great storage space for larger, less commonly used items. In this way, you will enjoy the above-mentioned, exclusive advantages of the garage in winter, as well as avoid the construction of an additional storage room. It will also help you to free up frequently used home spaces - corridors, hallways, or even living rooms. Putting together all the less commonly used items in the garage will also make maintaining on your plot a much easier task.

Garage construction without a permit

At first, the building of wooden garages may seem like big projects that require extra paperwork and a lot of work in general. However, it all depends on how well you will rethink the project. Compared to building a shed, there will be a bit more work to be done to install the garage, but as we mentioned earlier, the benefits of the garage space will also be much greater. First of all, it is important to decide whether you will build a garage next to a residential house or as a separate building. Although both options are possible, it is worth mentioning that the idea of ​​enclosing a garage near the wall of a residential house is worthy of noting. In this way, you will not only reduce construction costs (instead of 4 new walls it will be enough to build only 3) but will also enjoy exceptional comfort during the winter. What could be better than entering a garage directly from your warm living quarters? It is important to know that in this case, the area of ​​the garage will be included in the total area of ​​the house, so when designing it, you have to rethink carefully about the size of the room you need. Secondly, before making a decision, you must know that separate garage premises do not require a permit if they do not exceed 80 m2 and are not higher than 8.5 m. This solution is usually recommended for owners of larger plots. In this way neither the wooden garages nor living room would lack space, so you could enjoy all the advantages of them both.
