Single wooden garages

Looking at practice, settlers, saving both finances and space on their plot, decide to build a carport instead of a garage often. Experts say it can be a great alternative to a garage if you spend time in the summer house on warm summer days mostly.

Considering the advantages of carports, it is difficult to find many differences between them and garages in the warm season. It protects the car from the sun perfectly, and, if necessary, a small storage room for storing things can be installed under it. It is important to mention that the area of ​​the shed is not counted in the total area of ​​the house, so its installation will not have any impact on the living space. To make as much as possible of the space available in the yard and not to overpay for winter comfort, the shed can become an excellent alternative serving for many years.

However, when looking at the differences between the two structures, it’s pretty hard to ignore the benefits of single wooden garages. A garage for one car is inseparable from our maximum comfort and the highest level of car protection. A carport can be a solution good enough in the warm season when the sun and rain are probably the only phenomena affecting the car. However, the vehicle needs much more extensive protection during the winter.

The construction of a garage is a project requiring additional effort and documents, therefore, it is often replaced by a carport. When choosing to build a garage, the first thing you need to decide is whether you will build the garage as an attached building or as a separate building. Although both options are possible, it is worth noting that the idea of ​​placing the garage next to your residential house is definitely worth paying attention to.

By choosing to build a garage next to the house, you will reduce construction costs (instead of 4 new walls, only 3 will be enough). You will also enjoy exceptional comfort during the winter – entering the garage directly from the living room will be possible. However, it is important to know that the area of ​​the garage will be counted in the total area of ​​the house in this case. A separate garage does not require a permit if it does not exceed an area of 80 m² and is not higher than 8.5 m.

Firstly, by keeping your car indoors, you avoid the constant heating of the engine, which takes a long time on cold winter mornings. In case your trip to work is short, the cold engine does not even have time to warm up normally, which affects the technical condition of the car in the long run. The decision to start the car a little before the start of the trip is a solution, however, the consequences are not good for the environment.

Secondly, the advantages of the garage are obvious during the winter – you have to scrape the frosted windows of the car every day. After installing your wooden garage, morning trips in the winter season will become much more pleasant – all you have to do is start the already warm car and drive.

The main reason why single wooden garages are often replaced by a carport is lower installation costs. Although the carport does perform the essential function of a garage – it protects the car from rain and storms.

If the layout of the garage is well thought out, it can become not only a place for the car but also an excellent storage room for larger, less frequently used items. In this way, you will not only enjoy the above-mentioned, exclusive advantages of the garage but also avoid the construction of an additional expensive storage room. It will also help you free up frequently used spaces in your home, such as hallways, or even living rooms. After moving all the less frequently used items into the garage, it will be much easier to maintain order in the house and the plot.

When starting to consider which garage could be the most suitable option for your property, we recommend evaluating two important aspects: how many cars you have in the family and whether the garage will be used for storing additional items.

Based on practice, single wooden garages are one of the most common garage options in the construction market nowadays. They ensure full protection of one car at any time of the year. The structure aims to reduce the space to the maximum, thus making this car protection option the cheapest option that provides comprehensive car protection. If you have more than one car in your family, you can consider the option of double wooden garages. This issue can also be solved by adding a carport to the single garage, which will protect the second car from the biggest storms.
