Build a Cart Lodge With a Room Above
A cart lodge is an incredibly versatile parking solution that offers plenty of extra storage potential on its own, but with our kits, you can take that potential one step further. Adding a room above your cart lodge can not only extend your storage capacity but also provide the option for additional living space.

The Garage Specialist Quality Assurance
When you trust us to design and build your cart lodge with a room above, you can expect:
1. Professionally-Graded Timber
We use the finest cuts of douglas-fir and green oak timber to build our cart lodges, as well as the optional rooms above. For each beam and off-cut, we bring in our dedicated graders who check that, no matter what, we are only using the best and most aesthetically pleasing cuts of wood. And when a piece is deemed imperfect, it will be recycled responsibly.
2. Seamless Engineering
Harnessing the precision-cutting capabilities of our Hundegger CNC machine, every piece of your timber cart lodge kit will be smooth and exact, to the millimetre. Every fixing is drilled and cut to slot together snuggly, making for a hassle-free building experience you can trust no matter the kit or scale of your design.
3. By-The-Book Processes
Combining industry timber graders and one of the best cutting machines available, our services and kits are among the highest quality available. Alongside these processes, we also perform final checks on every kit to make sure it complies with international quality standards.

Does a Cart Lodge With a Room Above Need Planning Permission?
Our cart lodge kits vary widely, as each is made bespoke. This is especially true of our models that include the rooms above, so determining whether your kit will need planning permission will depend on a number of factors, all of which we can detail during the planning process.
Most kits will require strict compliance with certain building regulations, but cart lodges differ from standard garages in that they consist of at least two open sides and, generally, a floor space of no larger than thirty square metres. As long as your kit falls within this region, you should not require pre-approved building regulations.
When it comes to multi-storey kits, such as cart lodges with rooms above, you may require additional planning permission as the build itself will exceed the height limit of permitted developments. It will be best to discuss your options with your local council during the planning stages, as this will guarantee your project can go ahead with all the right permissions.
If you have any questions or concerns about whether your design complies with construction laws, feel free to get in touch with us today, and our experienced team will be happy to offer guidance and support.
