Bespoke Timber Garages, Carports and Carriage Houses

Premium Timber Garages, Carports & Carriage Houses – Built for the British Climate

At Vale Stables, we offer a wide range of designs, from traditional to bespoke builds, all crafted using high-quality, pressure-treated timber and expert construction methods.

Whether you choose a custom design or one of our standard garage layouts, you can rely on a solid, durable building equipped with lockable double doors, offering excellent protection and insulation for your vehicle or workspace.

Traditional Carriage Houses

A timber carriage house is a timeless and elegant addition to any property. These versatile structures can be built to accommodate everything from a classic car to a high-sided vehicle or horsebox. A popular configuration features an open parking bay with a secure side workshop or office—ideal for motor enthusiasts or home businesses.

Built to last and beautifully finished, carriage houses can also increase your home’s resale value.

Timber Carports

Our timber carports provide convenient shelter from the elements, protecting your vehicle and keeping you dry when unloading. Many customers also choose carports as a stylish and affordable way to add outdoor covered storage for everything from bikes to firewood.

Strong, Weather-Resistant Construction

We provide detailed floor plans for your builders to lay a concrete base. While we recommend one course of semi-engineering bricks to raise the structure above ground moisture, we also offer galvanised steel plinths or the option to build directly onto the concrete base—whichever best suits your needs.

All of our timber is responsibly sourced from Sweden and Siberia, where slow-growing trees produce dense wood with tight growth rings. This reduces shrinkage, splitting, and warping—critical factors for long-term durability. Every piece is pressure-treated with Tanalith ‘E (BS EN 335-1) for excellent resistance to rot and insect damage.

Reinforced Roofing Systems

We line all our Onduline roofs with 11mm OSB boarding as standard—a feature that significantly strengthens the roof structure and prevents sagging. This is just one of the details that sets Vale Stables apart from other timber garage suppliers.

Roofing options include:

• Onduline roofing – in black, green, red, or brown, always lined with OSB
• Asphalt shingles – a stylish, cost-effective option with wide colour availability
• Onduvilla tiles – designed to give a traditional tiled effect with a lightweight finish
• Cedar shingles – premium roofing with a 30+ year lifespan and unmatched visual appeal
• Galvanised box profile and P6 fibre cement roofing – available on request

We always recommend fitting guttering to the front of the building to manage water runoff effectively. Leaf guards are also available for low-maintenance performance.
