System Garages

SYSTEM GARAGES

System Garages are highly cost-effective, designed to be virtually maintenance free and available in a choice of aggregate finishes to harmonise with the immediate environment.

Where co-ordination with surrounding materials is essential, wall ties can be incorporated for cladding of flank and rear walls with brick or stonework (by others).

Concealed drainage (via internal gutters and downpipes) and horizontal concrete fascias on all four elevations contribute to the robust structure of this system and also helps to deter would-be vandals. 

Simple foundations and rapid on-site construction make System Garages a fast and reliable addition to any development.

System 9F

This Garage will accommodate wider vehicles and offer improved access where space is limited. Internal width is 9' 4" with a door opening width of 8' 10". System 9F and 8F share the same specification in other respects and can be built in any combination within a block of multiple units.

Further details are available on request. Also available are System 8R and 9R garages.

These units  have rearward sloping roofs draining into half round, external guttering and downpipes (Black PVC-u). Overall length dimensions are slightly different from the 8F and 9F garages and the 9R door is available in 6' 6" x 7' 6" dimension only.

8R and 9R can be built alongside each other, but not within the same multiple block.

Steps

Steps of 152mm (6") can be incorporated in blocks of two or more garages - left or right handed to suit site.
