Timber Garages And Other Garden Buildings-Add Rustic Touch to Your Home
By Spencer Hunt

Timber garages make a perfect addition to any home. Additionally, timber garages provide many benefits you would deem very useful. These benefits include high durability, increased curb appeal for your home (and thus, value), and of course plenty of extra space to store whatever inside.

If you own your own home business or take a lot of your work home, you might consider a Garden Office. A building like this would make perfect alternative to renting a costly office unit in a busy city. Plus, you don't need to worry about your productivity suffering either - Garden Offices keep you secluded from distractions that might interrupt your office work.

When constructing your timber garage, it's generally sound advice to go for treated lumber. Protective coating is applied with high-pressure steam, thus making it more resistant to harmful insects, mildew damage, rot, and water. Coating once a year isn't needed - wait about three to four years before applying another coat.

It's important to consider many other design aspects when planning the construction of your timber garage, garden office, or other garden building. For the color scheme, go for something that attractively compliments your existing home. If you live under the laws of a local homeowners association, be sure to get approval from them when it comes to color. Some homeowners associations are notoriously strict when it comes to the appearance of the neighborhood (right down to the colors of the hose!).

When you're looking to increase the value of your property, adding any kind of additional garden building helps a great deal - especially timber garages. If you aren't interested in the financial aspects, a timber garage will not only be visually appealing, but it will be much appreciated extra space. Some people get caught renting private storage for more space, but rental fees can really add up. Investing in a timber garage would be a much wiser, long-term choice.
