How big is the Gorillas Garage?

The Gorillas Garage comes in 2 sizes, from 3 x 5.5m up to 6 x 5.5m. Internally that is about 14.60m in the smallest and 29.34m2 in the largest. All sizes are external, wall to wall, and every size is priced on this page.

How high is the Gorillas Garage?

Ridge height runs from 2.51m (8' 2") on the smallest size to 2.96m (9' 9") on the largest. Height matters for permitted development: staying under 2.5m usually keeps you clear of a planning application when the building sits within 2m of a boundary.

Do I need planning permission for the Gorillas Garage?

In most gardens, no. Garden buildings normally fall under permitted development if they sit behind the front of the house, take up less than half the garden, and stay under 2.5m tall within 2m of a boundary. Listed buildings, conservation areas and anything you intend to sleep in are the usual exceptions, so check with your local planning authority or the Planning Portal if you are unsure.

How do I keep the Gorillas Garage warm in winter?

The Gorillas Garage comes with 24mm Double Glazing Included As Standard. The walls have a U-value of 2.59. For year-round use, add the insulation package on this page, which insulates the roof and floor. Most people find a small electric heater is plenty after that.

Do you install the Gorillas Garage?

Yes. Our recommended team installs, priced by building size from £1,000 to £1,950 within 50 miles of our showroom in Cowfold, near Horsham. Further afield we can often still install, priced per job, so ask us for a quote. Installation is invoiced separately and paid on completion, once your building is up. Every building also comes as a complete kit with full instructions if you would rather put it up yourself. DIY assembly takes roughly 1 - 2 days* *this is an approximate time only, based on 2 people for two people.

How long does delivery take, and do you deliver to Scotland?

Lead time is typically 2 to 4 weeks from order. Delivery is free to every UK mainland address including Scotland, with no minimum spend. Islands, Northern Ireland and anywhere off the mainland are quoted separately, so ask us and we will price it.

What guarantee comes with the Gorillas Garage?

The floor bearers are pressure treated and guaranteed for 10 years against rot and decay. Our timber guarantees run up to 10 years on tongue and groove buildings and log cabins, and up to 15 years on pressure treated buildings, provided the building is treated and maintained as set out in our returns and warranty policy.

What base does the Gorillas Garage need?

A level, solid base slightly larger than the footprint of the size you choose. Concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame on ground screws all work, and it must be level and ready before we arrive. We partner with Sussex Concrete Bases if you need one laid: mention Garden Rooms for Sale when you book.

Do I need to treat or paint the Gorillas Garage?

Yes, and it matters for the guarantee. Treat the timber with a suitable wood preservative within 4 weeks of delivery, two to three coats the first time, then at least once a year after that, and re-treat any cut or drilled sections with cut-end treatment. The floor bearers are pressure treated already, but the walls, roof and doors still need coating.

What is included in the price of the Gorillas Garage?

The kit price includes VAT and free UK mainland delivery, with 19mm Tongue & Groove roof boards and 19mm floorboards as standard rather than as an upgrade. Extras such as the rubber roof, insulation and damp proof course are optional and priced per size on this page.

Can I see the Gorillas Garage before I buy?

We have cabins at our showroom at Camelia Botnar Garden Centre in Cowfold, near Horsham that you can walk into, and we can go through the rest of the range with you while you are there. Open 7 days a week, no appointment needed. If you would like a particular size marked out on the ground, tell us when you are coming.

A timber garage with barn doors, and a far better looking alternative to a concrete one. It shelters the car, the mower and the things that accumulate around them, and at under 2.5m tall it usually falls within permitted development, though it is always worth checking your own site.

Built in spruce rather than pine, with toughened glass in the window and side door instead of styrene or horticultural glass.
