All garages need a substantial base. The base should be solid, square, flat and level to ensure the stability of your garage. A garage base should be higher than the surrounding ground to ensure adequate drainage and to allow for hinged doors to open. Concrete is the preferred material for garage bases. The base for a Compton garage should always be at least 150mm or 6" wider and longer than the external size of the garage.

Compton garages are not suitable for DIY assembly. Free professional installation installation is included within the price.

All sheds need a substantial base. The base should be solid, square, flat and level to ensure the stability of your shed. Paving slabs or concrete are ideal.

The space will always be used, so buy the biggest Compton garage you can afford provided that it fits comfortably in the space available. There are no precise guidelines regarding the size. Often the size of the garage is dictated by the space available. Compton offer a wide range of sizes to suit every space. If you are replacing an existing garage, you should consider whether to have the same size again or perhaps larger.

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.

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.

Compton garages can be easily lined and insulated using specially designed and inexpensive lining clips. Using the lining clips it is easy to fix timber battens to the concrete panels. Inexpensive polystyrene or fibreglass insulation is fitted between the battens which also support the lining boards.

Although providing an electricity supply to a Compton garage is normally a straightforward task, for safety reasons we recommend that you consult an approved electrician first. Since January 1st 2005 all electrical work must be completed in accordance with IEE wiring regulations and BS 7671. Notifiable work must be either notified directly to the local building control department or completed by an operator who is approved under the Part P Electrical Competent Person Scheme.

Your Compton garage will be delivered and installed by prior appointment with you. A clear access route is required from the lorry to the prepared base, with no access restrictions. A typical Compton garage weighs several tons and includes heavy concrete sections. Possible restrictions include archways, narrow passages, sharp corners and flights of steps. Please advise us if there are any access restrictions at the site.

Many Compton garages do not require planning permission. However, permission is required for any garage which covers over half the garden, which is not for domestic use or which is over 3 metres high with a pent roof or 4 metres high with an apex roof. If you live in a terraced or town house you are normally entitled to build up to 50 cubic metres of extensions without planning permission. In a detached or semi detached house the permitted volume is 70 cubic metres.

Please note that the building regulations apply to any building in excess of 30 square metres whether temporary or permanent including sectional garages.

The garage in PlanetSide has been removed because they have removed the economy system which was in place at the beginning of development. Because of this people stealing vehicles may frustrate the other players but the hacking time has been lengthened to support the removal of garages.

You can keep the base unit anywhere you can receive the signal from the camera unit - We have customers that have the base unit installed inside their garages and they work just fine.

The composition of the base course is outlined in our specifications as a 3/4 inch minus sandy gravel compacted to 95% modified proctor. The base should allow enough void space for water to percolate and grass roots to grow. If you intend on using a material that will seal tight once compacted (such as limestone) you must add a 30% mixture of sand to create the required void space.

Yes, our mattresses will compliment all types of base units, Slatted, Solid, Sprung Edge. They will feel good on any Bedstead or Divan base.

No problem - PG is definitely suitable for those as well. The chalk (clay?) in those type humidifiers should be "cleaned" once every year or two though... Just soak them overnight in a big pan of water, dry them out, then re-charge with PG solution. Given proper care, that type of element will out-live us all! One word of caution with all clay type elements. Always use distilled water to re-fill them. The trace salts in tap water will clog them eventually...

None of our garages are suitable for DIY assembly. Both our sectional concrete garages and our wooden garages include free professional installation installation within the price.
