Quick questions
Do I need a base?
Yes – every garden building needs a firm, level base, ready before your building is put up. Where we sell a matching base for this building, you’ll see it as an option above.
Prefer concrete? Our partner Midland Base Works lays precision concrete bases – ask us if they cover your area.
Getting the size right: the size in a building’s name (for example “8x6”) is a rounded, nominal size. The real floor or base footprint can be a little different, and the roof usually overhangs further. Build your base to the manufacturer’s base or floor measurement, not the name.
Can’t see the exact base size for your size on this page? WhatsApp us before you lay a base and we’ll check it with the manufacturer.
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden buildings don’t, but some do – it depends on the size, the height and where it goes in your garden.
Try our free 2-minute Planning Permission Checker or read the planning permission guide.
When will it arrive?
Typical delivery: 3–5 weeks from order.

What guarantee does it come with?

Yes – our Display Site at Buzzards Valley, Tamworth has a selection of buildings on show, open 7 days. We don’t have every model on display, so give us a call before you visit if you’d like to see something in particular, or book a time if you’d like someone there to show you round.

Description
The Whittington Double is the size most households settle on: two cars, side by side, under one broad shingled roof. What sets the Whittington apart is its curved laminated beams, which give the roof a soft arch rather than a hard triangle — a good deal handsomer than the usual carport, and worth the difference on a front drive you look at every day.
A timber carport suits a driveway for practical reasons as well as good looks. There are no doors to heave up in the rain, the open sides give you room to walk right round both cars with the shopping, and frost, sap, bird mess and leaf-fall all stay off the paintwork. It goes up in days rather than weeks, it needs no foundations beyond the drive you already have, and it will usually sit more comfortably next to a house than a steel or plastic shelter. The pressure-treated redwood weathers to a soft silver-honey over the years, or you can keep the colour with an exterior stain.

Will two cars really fit? Comfortably, yes — two family cars side by side with room to open the doors. Measure to the clear width between the posts rather than the overall width, and allow a little extra if you regularly load children or shopping from the side. If you need a third bay, or want two cars plus a covered working or seating area, the Whittington Triple is the next step up.
Base and planning: The carport needs a firm, level surface to stand on — an existing concrete, block-paved or tarmac drive is usually ideal, as the post holders anchor straight down into it. More on choosing a base. Many carports fall under permitted development, but the rules differ in front of the house, in a conservation area or alongside a listed building, so do have a look at our planning permission guide before you order.
Recommended accessories: The timber arrives pressure-treated and needs no immediate attention, but a coat of exterior wood stain will hold the colour if you would rather it did not silver. See the Protek stains and treatments in Accessories & Extras.
Delivery & installation: Made to order and delivered on a 13.6m articulated lorry — please note that arranging a team to unload the pallet on site is the customer's responsibility. It arrives flat-packed as a self-assembly kit, and we can arrange installation through our trusted local team if you would rather not build it yourself. Delivery & installation info.
