Choose from 19 x 125 planed shiplap or 2 ex. 32 x 150 sawn featheredged weatherboard cladding. Both are machined from joinery grade northern Scandinavian Redwood timber to Passmores pattern with deep rebate and pressure treated for a long life with low maintenance.

The use by Passmores of high quality joinery grade redwood cladding is, we believe, unique in our industry. The benefits are increasingly felt as the building ages with reduced shrinkage and warping, fewer splits, curling and loose knots.

Passmores offer a tiling service within 100 mile radius of our factory in Kent and we will be delighted to quote to supply and fit natural slate, fibre cement slate, interlocking concrete tiles or plain tiles upon request.

Building Regulations approval is usually required for buildings larger than 30m². (5.4m x 5.4m = 29.16m²). An Open Barn exceeds the structural requirements of the Building Regulations and we can prove it by calculation, so we guarantee that you won't suffer from sagging walls or roof when you buy a Passmore building.

An Open Barn clad in dark stained sawn featheredge weatherboard with a plain tile or natural slate roof, frequently provides a solution for garaging in a conservation area or within the grounds of a listed building.

If space on site is limited it is possible to utilise some of the roof by incorporating a 2 post lift - Please see below for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

This will usually depend on the size, height and location of the proposed new building.

If you are positioning the building close to a boundary or in front of the building line of your home when viewed from the road, then planning consent is usually required.

If the building is to be behind the house, more than 2.0m from a boundary and provided the ridge height is less than 4.0m, then you may not need permission, assuming it is for non business use. Most garden sheds and chalets therefore do not need local authority permission.

However, if you live in a listed property or within a conservation area then planning permission is nearly always required.

The Government Planning Portal www.planningportal.gov.uk contains a wealth of additional information and includes an interactive guide covering most circumstances.
