Whether you need a traditional wooden garage for 2 cars or a versatile 2 bay timber framed garage with mixed-use potential, our expert team designs and builds each structure using premium green oak and traditional mortise and tenon joinery. A double garage is our most popular configuration — and for good reason.

Why Choose a 2 Bay Oak Garage?

A double oak garage provides ideal space and flexibility:

  • Double parking for cars, bikes, or classic vehicles
  • Mixed-use layouts — one bay for storage or workshop, one for the car
  • Open fronted garage and enclosed garage configurations
  • Catslide extensions, log stores, or integrated workshop areas
  • Secure oak garage doors, glazed panels, or heritage detailing
  • Future flexibility — easily adaptable as needs change
  • Foundation for garage with room above

We’ll work with you to create a double oak garage that looks great and works beautifully for your specific requirements.

2 Bay Oak Garage Prices & Investment

  • Roofing materials (clay tiles, natural slate, cedar shingles)
  • Additional features (catslides, workshop areas, garage with room above)

2 Bay Oak Garage FAQs

How much space do I need for a 2 bay oak garage?

A minimum site area of 7m x 8m is typically required for a standard double oak garage, allowing for the structure plus access space. However, we can design garages to fit tighter sites by adjusting proportions and access arrangements. Our L shaped oak garages are ideal for awkward plots.

Can I add a room above my 2 bay oak garage?

Yes! A garage with room above is a popular option. The upper space can serve as a home office, guest bedroom, storage loft, hobby room, or self-contained accommodation. A two storey oak garage or double storey garage with living space above requires building regulation approval and may need planning permission.

What's the difference between a 2 bay and double garage?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, a 2 bay oak garage refers to the structural frame (two separate bays), while double garage typically means parking space for two cars. Our 2 bay oak framed garages accommodate two cars, or can be configured for mixed-use layouts with parking plus workshop or storage.

How much does a 2 bay oak garage cost?

Double garage prices depend on design complexity, materials, and features. Factors affecting oak garage cost include whether you want open fronted or enclosed bays, roof style, additional features like garage with log store, and whether you’re adding room above. Contact us for a detailed quote.

Do I need planning permission for a 2 bay oak garage?

Many 2 bay garages fall under permitted development, but this depends on size, height, position, and whether you’re adding a room above. Building regulations may also apply. We can advise on your specific situation and assist with planning applications if required.

Can I convert my 2 bay garage to other uses?

Absolutely. Oak frame construction offers excellent flexibility for conversions. Popular options include workshop conversion with tool storage and workbenches, home gym, creative studio, business use (subject to planning), or additional living space with proper insulation and services. The structural integrity of traditional oak framing makes conversions straightforward.

How long does it take to build a 2 bay oak garage?

Typical build timeline: design and planning 2-4 weeks, frame manufacture 4-6 weeks, foundation preparation 1-2 weeks, frame installation 2-3 days, complete build 2-4 weeks total. Timelines vary based on complexity and weather conditions.

Do you sell 2 bay oak garage kits?

We only offer full build packages — we do not sell garages as kits. This ensures every timber framed garage we deliver meets our quality standards and is properly constructed to last generations.

Is installation included?

We only offer full build packages, we do not sell garages as kits.

Testimonials from Happy Customers on Trustpilot

“We first commissioned Sussex Oak Structures to build an oak framed garden room at our property in West Sussex. Russell and Graham provided invaluable assistance throughout with literally every aspect of the project. The end result is a quite magnificent addition to our home, aesthetically striking and one we now enjoy and spend an inordinate amount of time in.
Their friendly, accommodating manner was very reassuring and they were always on hand to discuss any matters that arose. Their high levels of craftsmanship and close attention to detail are clearly evident in the final build.
So it was a straightforward decision to ask them back last year, this time to construct an oak framed annex connecting our property to an existing garage, which they carried out to their usual high standards.
We have also employed them recently to install a juliette balcony and an oak decking project at our home.
With this substantial catalogue of work Russell and Graham have undertaken, we feel we are well qualified to highly recommend the services of Sussex Oak Structures.”

Superb craftsmanship and friendly serviceMark

“Graham and team erected our oak framed garage and annex last year and we couldn’t be happier. We found the whole process faultless. From great communication at the start, flexibility when arranging site visits and start date, advice and guidance when we had queries. We also had a tight building timeline which he worked to brilliantly. I would definitely use again. We’re very happy with the end result!”

Oak framed garage and annexMr J H

“Very happy with Sussex Oak. They fixed a persistent leak in an oak bay after two previous contractors failed. They were also polite with good communication and tidy. I would strongly recommend them.”
