Wooden Garages With Carport

A wooden garage with an integrated carport gives you the best of both worlds in a single, cohesive structure: a fully enclosed, lockable garage for your most valuable vehicle alongside open covered parking for a second car, a trailer, a motorcycle, or guests' vehicles. It is a configuration that suits the reality of many Irish households perfectly – one vehicle that needs full security and protection, and another that simply needs shelter from the elements. Our MULTI range delivers this combination in a clean, well-proportioned timber structure that complements any Irish property.

MULTI – single garage with single carport

The MULTI with single carport (4×6 m garage + 3×6 m carport, total 7×6 m) combines a fully enclosed 44 mm tongue-and-groove garage with an adjacent open carport bay under the same roof line. The garage provides complete security for one vehicle with heavy-duty lockable doors and solid timber walls; the carport provides covered but open-sided parking directly alongside. This is an elegant and practical solution for a two-car household where one vehicle requires full enclosure.

MULTI – single garage with double carport

For households with three vehicles, or where additional covered outdoor space is valued, the MULTI with double carport (4×6 m garage + 5.5×6 m double carport, total 9.5×6 m) extends the concept to provide one enclosed garage bay alongside two covered carport spaces. This configuration is also excellent for those who want a workshop in the enclosed garage section alongside covered vehicle storage – a highly versatile arrangement that adapts to changing household needs.

Why a garage-with-carport rather than a double garage?

A double garage provides two fully enclosed bays, which maximises security and weather protection for both vehicles. A garage-with-carport provides full security for one vehicle and open-sided shelter for the other, at a lower cost than a full double garage and with a more open, airy character. The carport section also serves as a useful covered outdoor space for washing the car, working on vehicles, or sheltering garden furniture. For many Irish households, this hybrid configuration is more practical and more cost-effective than either a single garage or a full double.

Delivery and assembly in Ireland

Our MULTI garage-with-carport models are delivered as prefabricated kits throughout Ireland. Given the combined footprint of garage plus carport, professional installation is strongly recommended – our installation team is available across all areas of Ireland. A single continuous concrete slab covering both the garage and carport footprint is the recommended foundation approach.

Questions & Answers

Is the carport section fully attached to the garage?

Yes – in all our MULTI models the carport is structurally integrated with the garage under a continuous roof line, creating a single cohesive building rather than two separate structures. This integrated approach is structurally more robust, looks more resolved, and requires only one foundation rather than two. The roof covering runs continuously from the garage section through to the end of the carport, providing consistent weather protection throughout.

Can I enclose the carport section later to make a full double garage?

Our standard MULTI models are not designed for post-assembly conversion of the carport section to a fully enclosed bay. If you anticipate wanting full enclosure in the future, we recommend starting with a double garage model rather than a garage-with-carport. Alternatively, our bespoke design service can create a custom structure specifically designed for phased conversion. Contact us at +353 1 699 4541 to discuss your options.

Does the garage-with-carport require planning permission?

The total footprint of the MULTI models (9.5×6 m for the largest configuration) is substantial and may exceed Irish planning exemption thresholds depending on existing structures on the property. We recommend checking with your local authority before proceeding. Our team can provide general guidance – call us at +353 1 699 4541.

What vehicles can be accommodated in the carport section?

The carport section of the MULTI provides comfortable covered parking for standard saloons, estates, SUVs, and small vans. The open-sided design provides easy access from multiple angles. If you have a particularly tall vehicle such as a high-roof van or a large motorhome, please check the specific eave height of your chosen model before ordering – our team can provide exact dimensions at +353 1 699 4541.
