Without further ado, let’s get straight to business!
Step no. 1: Prepare Your Materials and Layout
This step is made as easy as can be with Quick-garden.co.uk’s neatly packaged wooden garage DIY sets. Once they arrive at the agreed-upon location, it’s crucial to get everything in place for the assembly. This entails sorting each component into piles, which should be a pretty smooth process. As you’ll come to see, the parts are all labelled and correspond to the assembly instructions that come with the kit. You’ll also receive the necessary hardware to help get you started quicker.
Step no. 2: Lay the Foundation
To properly address the “how to build a wooden garage” question, we need to start with the foundation. This is essential to guarantee the solid structural integrity of the garage of your choice, so it can serve its purpose well and for many years to come.
So, firstly, you’ll need to make sure that the base is square and level. Then the pressure-treated ground beams are going to have to be put in so that you can construct the other parts on top of them. What will also need to be done is have the base rail completed by drilling into the concrete foundation to prevent wind from moving the garage.

Step no. 3: Assemble the Wall Panels
Another good thing to have in mind is that once you have the first row of panels fastened, you’ll be able to see the structure of the garage a lot more clearly – the doorways, the openings, and so on will be clearly visible. Now, to get every part precisely aligned, it can be invaluable to use a string line. Finally, while building a wooden garage, you’ll be tapping the panels into place. The recommendation here is to mind the ends of each panel – it’s a lot better to avoid causing breakage by tapping the larger parts in. Seeing everything come into place as you’re building the walls will be a lot smoother and more satisfying!
Step no. 4: Install the Roof Joists
As far as building a garage from our assortment goes, the roof joists have to align edge to edge. In order to achieve this, you’ll have to mark and shorten them. We advise cutting one end off and then using that joist as a template for the rest of them. This way, the result will be consistent and all the edges will be perfectly aligned. Next up, mind how you attach the roof beams. You’ll have to calculate the height of the band you add, so that the water drains from the front of the garage to the back. The right slope will ensure this part is covered and you can move on to the next step – the insulation (if you have chosen it).
Step no. 5: Add Insulation for Comfort and Longevity
The next part of your new “How to Build a Wooden Garage” guide will cover placing the insulation and its importance to the structure. Since it has to go between the walls, you’ll have to secure the slow-grown conifer timber planks around the perimeter of the bottom. The layer of insulation should be placed on this timber. It will be supported by newly placed vertical planks on the side, which will help create a cavity for the insulation material. Once it’s there, flexible sealant will keep it in place. Then follow the silver tape, the batten, the membrane, and the covering.
You’ll find instructions for a cold roof in our kit. However, you can also construct a warm roof, in which the insulation is placed on the membrane with the OSB plate on top of it, whereas in a cold roof situation, the insulation is placed on the inside between the joists. Building a wooden garage with insulation is a smart move, because that way it can always be comfortably used for other purposes (e.g., a studio, a workspace) in the future. Don’t miss out on giving yourself these options, which the versatility of the structure allows for.
Step no. 6: Add Exterior Features to Your DIY Wooden Garage
At Quick-garden.co.uk, we offer plenty of optional extras for the model of your choice to serve you better. Say, looking at wooden garages, the kits include wooden doors, but you can upgrade them to an electric roller door for more security. PVC windows & doors are also good options! When it comes to assembly, they’re usually drilled into the wooden parts. Another usual optional extra is steel guttering, which can direct rainwater into a water butt. Hopefully, the extra features of your choice will help you get the most out of your DIY wooden garage!
Step no. 7: Final Touches
The exterior panels are the icing on the cake – not difficult to drill in, they complete the final look, adding modernity, style, and stability to the garage. The parapets that you’ll need to trim before sealing are also a part of the minimal look. Of course, this step applies to contemporary garages with a layer of cladding – if you’ve chosen a simpler structure, the process of building a wooden garage will be even shorter.
