Upgrade the Value of Your Home With a Wooden Garage

Are you searching for a sustainable, customisable, and aesthetically stunning option for sheltering your car or additional storage space?

Have you considered investing in a wooden garage?

Wooden garages are quick and easy to install, and even the high-quality ones like those at Summer House 24 are more affordable than you might think.
So rather than leaving your car on the side of the road, running the risk of your neighbour bumping into it (we all have that one neighbour we don’t trust behind the wheel!) or it getting broken into, shelter it in a secure, high-quality, and cost-effective garage.

Better yet, you could even use the space to get some much-needed peace and quiet while you work!

Here, we will discuss why they are so popular and how to pick the perfect wooden garage for your needs.

Why are Wooden Garages so Popular?

First off, they look great

Is there anything more beautiful than a stunning wooden garage?

Well, yes, a few things. But still, they do look incredible!

If you opt to invest in quality, wooden garages are incredibly aesthetic buildings and look much more impressive than your standard concrete garage. Not only do they provide plenty of storage and charm, but they also seamlessly blend into the garden around them, and add a level of uniqueness to your property that many of the houses in your area will be lacking.

This uniqueness can also be leveraged as an excellent USP when you eventually want to sell and move too.

Get ready to show off your customisation skills

Not only do wooden summer houses look fantastic, but they are also incredibly versatile and customisable, allowing you to pick your perfect design and use it in whatever way you want.

Some may opt to keep cars in their garage, while others may prefer to use some of the space for storage and also use it as a home office or home gym. With so many of us spending at least one or two days a week working from home, this additional space you can dedicate to your work can be great for productivity and privacy.

Summer House 24, for example, have over 20 styles of wooden garage or carport to pick from, giving you total control over your design and use.

Environmental sustainability

It is no secret that our climate is changing. As consumers, it is crucial that we become more aware of the impact of our purchases and, where possible, opt for environmentally sustainable choices.

A high-quality wooden garage fits perfectly into that bracket, as the material is renewable and much more eco-friendly than steel or concrete.

All Summer House 24 wood is Nordic spruce, which is slow-grown and ethically sourced, ensuring it is both durable and environmentally friendly.

Insulation and energy efficiency

Wood is also an incredibly energy-efficient material and provides much better insulation than concrete or metal can.

Why is this so important? Well, the better the insulation, the easier it is to regulate the temperature within your wooden garage, keeping them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

If you plan on using your wooden garage for more than just storage, such as a home gym or home office, this additional insulation can significantly reduce costs and allow you to use it all year round.

Keep those pesky costs down

Not only is wood more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, but it is also more cost-effective. Wood is relatively affordable compared to other building materials, making wooden garages a cost-effective option.

How to Pick the Perfect Wooden Garage

Work out the additional value

“How exactly does a wooden garage add value to my home?” I hear you ask.

Well, in many ways, actually!

For starters, the additional space on offer makes your home more attractive to prospective buyers, as does having somewhere for them to keep their cars if they move in.

However, on top of that, it can also reduce some of your current costs, which, although it doesn’t increase your home’s value directly, does put money back in your pocket.

For example, if you currently park your car on the road, and invest in a garage, you can change that information on your insurance, which will greatly reduce the costs, as it is more protected than it was before.

Get your space measured and marked out

Now you know the value of a high-quality wooden garage; there are a few steps you need to take before you go get your hands on one!

For starters, you need to measure out the space you have allocated for your wooden garage. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting a nasty surprise upon delivery when your wooden garage is too small or, worse, too big.

Ask the council for guidance

Once you have your size details, consult local building codes and regulations to ensure compliance with any restrictions on garage size or placement.

Whether or not you need planning permission for your wooden garage will depend entirely on where you live, the planned location of your wooden garage, and its size, so don’t just take the information you read online as gospel.

Pick your style

Once you have your size and the go-ahead from the local council, it’s to pick your preferred style. Consider how much storage space you need, how many cars you plan to store, and other key factors that will influence your design.

Do the maths

Unfortunately, we do not have a limitless pot of money to play with (well, most of us, anyway!). Before shopping for your wooden garage, establish a strict budget, and ensure you don’t look at any above that rate so that you don’t leave yourself with a lack of funds.

Final Thoughts on Wooden Garages

As you can see, a high-quality wooden garage can significantly increase the value of your property by adding additional storage, more living space, or shelter for your cars.
