Timber kits are an incredibly versatile way to create a unique home that’s perfect for you and your family. In this blog post, we’ll discuss five different ways that you can use timber kits in your own home.
Timber garage kits
Timber frame kits for a garage are ideal for the self-builders (or your local builder) among us. An easy way to add value and gain a useful space, timber garage kits come ready made. You can go for a single, double garage, or even a triple bay garage. Some kits even have the option to add a second storey on top. This could be used as an office, a guest space or a man cave.
Timber carport kits
A carport is a great option if you just need simple, covered parking for your fleet. A carport still offers shade and protection from the rain but has a much more open feel. This would be a great option if you like the openness the carport offers, without being too overpowering. Carports also require less space and come in various styles and sizes to suit your driveway.
Timber porch kits
A porch makes for a practical and elegant entrance to your home. Wood suits most properties, and a porch can make the entrance really stand out. Protecting you from the elements, a timber porch offers you shelter and it’s also great for storage. A mounted, open structure is ideal for smaller properties, whereas a canopy-style structure looks a bit more elaborate. You could always go all out with a larger, enclosed porch. Timber porches can be combined with brickwork, and you can add windows and doors, too.
Timber gate kits
Timber gates can have a decorative purpose or provide a more secure area. Large gates also offer privacy from prying eyes. The kits usually come with everything you need, down to the last nut and bolt. Installation is pretty straightforward. It’s important to check the typical depth of frost where you live. The posts need to be concreted in below the frost level, to provide a solid anchor into the ground.
Timber shed kits
Timber sheds are an increasingly popular option for adding more space to your garden. Timber shed kits are so versatile—perfect for an office, a summerhouse, a bar, kids play area or a space for the whole family to enjoy. When properly insulated, a timber shed can be used for accommodation too. The kits come pre-built, and you can choose from many styles and sizes. Wood looks good in almost any setting and installation is quick and relatively easy.
