Carriage Houses

Our range of Carriage Houses are designed to offer a more traditional look, which may be more in keeping and sympathetic to your own particular surroundings.

Either 3.0m (10’) or 3.6m (12’) wide bays, as standard, with the depth of the buildings ranging from 5.4m (18’) to 7.3 (24’). Standard eaves height is 2.4m (8') but we can also offer an increased eaves height of 2.7m (9’).

Should you require a non-standard shape or size of building, we will happily manufacture to your own specific requirements. Entrances are constructed using 150mm x 150mm (6” x 6”) timber framing and attractive curved bracing. Standard buildings have an eaves height of 2.4m (8’). However, in order to accommodate that extra high vehicle or horsebox, we are also able to offer an increased height to eaves of 2.7m (9’).
