Geir Log Garage 3.6m x 5.4m - 45mm Logs

A great product, built for use as a mobility scooter store for residents of a small housing Trust, with a section of the rear patitioned to for a small wokshop/store.

Update (5 yrs ago) on Geir garage with 2 extra large windows added. We use it as a gym and its as good if not better as purpose built home office / gym type buildings that would have cost 2+ as much. Planning restrictions did not allow us to site anything other than a garage. It went up easily enough - no issues and quite a lot of wood left over that got reused. We insulated the roof with celotex and used Coroline bitumen sheets as long lasting and better look than shingles. A few lessons - 1. we used the plastic foundation beams but should have waterproofed sealed them on to the concrete base as it leaked later. Solved this with the use of aluminum flashing inside and outside. 2. If you have time its best to paint each log before assembly but this is time consuming - however, it will prevent untreated wood being exposed when the logs expand (up to 4 cm). 3. Likewise, make sure any electrical conduits have enough movement for expansion and contraction - can be a lot more than you imagine. 4. We used the Turin paint (green) 2 coats - lasted 5 years so only just ok given the cost but replaced now with Finnish wood paint (undercoat and top) - even more expensive but should last 10 yrs. 5. If building it today I would have used an insulated floor (Celotex under the concrete base) as most heat it lost via the floor and roof.
