A new house for my TVRs

I can fully understand oak frame when the structure is an open front car port style as it looks very nice.
If it is going to be a fully enclosed garage surly oak is an overkill when none of it is visible?

Building is listed so may be easier to get through planning/LBC.

Dale,
Who did you get the oak garage from? Had a couple of quotes now and have some queries so going to be speaking to planning shortly.
I'm going oak doors and probably weatherboard too but will decide after speaking to planning. Maybe OTT but it will last and be in keeping.

Swift oak , I did loads of research and also bought a sunroom from them . The frames are quite crude really but the price was very good . I had to do most of the work myself but im a builder so that's what I was looking for . The doors are an issue , I didn't want open front but you do lose the effect of oak frame hanging the doors as I have . The frame is still moving after three years and the doors need adjusting again . A roller door behind the frame might be a better option but I think they look awful. I still haven't finished the internals as I want but I needed to move on other parts of the project but I will get to it and keep improving and modifying it as and when I can .

So what is that peeking out of the open door?

Arh, that Steve is my gravity Soapbox racer, a bespoke purpose built 3 wheeler made to look like a Morgan. I'll dig out a less than 2Mb pic from the phone and post later.
