WHERE SHOULD I LOCATE MY COMPTON GARAGE?

Garages, concrete garages, compton garage FAQ
Ideally your Compton garage should have a clear space at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. In reality this is often not practical and at many sites it is not needed. A reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. If the space around your garage is restricted remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also cut back or remove any nearby shrubs and trees. Remember to allow for future growth.

Garages, concrete garages, compton garage FAQ
The most convenient location for a garage at an average detached or semi detached house is often set back behind the house, leaving enough access to the back garden. This allows for a wider garage where access is limited. Offset doors can be particularly useful in this situation. Setting the garage further back is often more acceptable to planners and often ensures that below ground drains and services are not disrupted.
