It is built for properties where a double simply will not do — larger family drives with several drivers, farmhouses and yards, holiday lets and guest parking, or a small fleet of vans that needs to stay dry and frost-free overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven at this scale it is the same design as the rest of the Whittington range, and the curved laminated beams do a lot of work: they carry the roof across a long span while keeping the profile soft, so what could easily have looked like an agricultural shed still looks like a garden building. It is also far quicker and less disruptive to put up than a four-bay garage, needs no foundations beyond a sound existing drive, and leaves every vehicle accessible from three sides. Plenty of customers use a bay or two for something other than a car — a caravan, a boat, a workshop area, or a long covered space for outdoor entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers four cars side by side under one continuous roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved laminated (glulam) beams under an apex roof — the Whittington signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-treated Northern European redwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding-grade asphalt felt shingle tiles — choice of black, green, brown or red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal post holders and all fixings included, so there are no concrete footings to dig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer's 10-year anti-rot guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat-packed self-assembly kit (installation available on request through our local team)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure-treated Northern European redwood (pine and spruce)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubstantial square posts, approx. 16cm square\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApex roof carried on curved laminated (glulam) beams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof covering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilding-grade asphalt felt shingle tiles — black, green, brown or red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 11.64m wide x 5.89m deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 2.96m to the eaves, around 3.26m at the ridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnchoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc-plated metal post holders included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer's 10-year anti-rot guarantee (timber in direct ground contact is excluded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6–10 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat-packed self-assembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Whittington is built in more than one size and dimensions are approximate — please confirm exact sizes and the clear width of each bay with us before ordering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you commit to this size.\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure the full 11.64m width against your drive and leave room to swing in and out of the end bays, not just to park in them.
