I am moving to a property that doesn't allow caravans to be stored on the driveway, I'm looking in to getting a large free standing shed/garage to house our 8 meter caravan. P.S. planning permission isn't and issue and the shed is allowed on the site.

My question is has anybody else ether built or had built a freestanding garage to house a large caravan and can they recommend where the got it from or who built it for them? Pictures would be a great help too.

    We moved into this old farmhouse in1981 and found we had an old stone built barn of which the roof had fallen in, just leaving the walls - which were wobbly and didn't look as though they would support the weight of a new roof.

    With teenage labour I put up nine telegraph pole uprights as fresh supports within the walls, softwood rafters, and plastic coated metal sheeting to top it off. No weight on the wobbly walls. Planning permission in this neck of the woods never entered my head.

    Amazingly it has lasted 40 years with caravans under cover all that time - the best DIY job I ever did.

    Or a company called Passmores is offering timber ones with bespoke sizes available. They come as a kit for self assembly or installation by a local builder. But I think I would want to see one to see how sturdy it is.
