When Ashley in Hull got in touch, he was looking for a strong and versatile steel-framed garage and man cave that could offer both practicality and comfort.
A Personal Touch
Once the kit was delivered, Ashley added his own creative flair.
Using Kingspan insulation left over from a previous house build, he lined the internal walls and finished them with 5mm plywood to create a warm, neat, and practical space.
The result is a well-insulated steel-framed garage and man cave that’s perfect for working, relaxing, and storing equipment. A true all-rounder!
Building Details
The building was designed for strength, durability, and low maintenance, making it ideal for both agricultural and domestic use.
Key features include:
Steelwork: Galvanised steel portal frame construction with 203 x 133 x 25kg UB stanchions and 178 x 102 x 19kg UB rafters, complete with CHS bracing for added stability.
Purlins: 225 x 75mm graded tanalised timber purlins bolted to the frame, plus matching C16 eaves beams.
Roof Cladding: 40mm insulated composite roof panels with an XL Forte coloured top sheet and polyester lining for strength and energy efficiency.
Roof Lights: Four triple-skin GRP roof lights to provide natural daylight throughout the interior.
Cladding: 0.7mm polyester-coated steel box profile sheets fixed to tanalised timber rails, clad to full eaves height for a smart finish.
Rainwater Goods: UPVC gutters and downpipes with sealed joints and secure fixings for reliable, low-maintenance drainage.
Doors: One 3.5m x 2.5m electrically operated roller shutter door and one Goosewing Grey personnel door with multipoint locking for easy access.
