Timber Garages

Garages and Larger Buildings.

 "I did not appreciate just how much work goes into the buildings and how much attention to detail there is. All in all, a superb garage representing great value!"

We have a wide variety of garages and other large timber buildings on show for you to visit at our main road site, near North Tawton, in mid Devon.

Choose a garage from our standard range or ask us to quote for a bespoke building to suit your requirements.  Garages may need planning permission and we will be happy to make an application for this on your behalf.

Turn key projects - We offer a complete service including planning permission applications, site clearance, base work, building design and construction.

We are able to construct buildings suitable for solar panels and photovoltaic ( p.v's) cells.  Let us know which supplier you plan to use and we will contact them to find out about the required roof specification.

Our timber garages provide warm and dry protection for vehicles and sundry equipment, if space permits.  A workshop may be incorporated into the design.  Many small businesses and public authorities use our garages, since they recognise the fine qualities that make John Shields Woodwork buildings special.
