Pick the Right Roof and Cladding Style
Choose from apex or pent rooflines, with horizontal or vertical cladding options. Noah’s Silverstone Cedar range offers flexibility in the profile and panel type to create a sleek or classic aesthetic.
Cedar Garages
Cedar garages offer a timeless blend of natural beauty, durability, and practical performance. Known for their warm tones and aromatic scent, cedar structures bring a sense of quality and calm to any outdoor setting. Homeowners choose cedar not just for appearance, but for its natural resistance to rot, pests, and moisture.
Unlike many softwoods, cedar needs less chemical treatment and weathers gracefully over time, making it ideal for garages, workshops, or storage spaces that need to look good and last long.
Warm, Weather-Resistant, and Naturally Beautiful
Cedar garages are more than just attractive; they’re built to withstand the elements with minimal maintenance. The timber’s natural oils help protect it from decay and insects, while its breathable properties allow moisture to escape, reducing the risk of warping or damp. This makes cedar an ideal choice for garages in variable UK climates, where ventilation and longevity matter. Whether you’re after a rustic, natural feel or a polished finish, cedar delivers both character and consistency.
At Noah, every cedar garage is made in the UK using premium Canadian Western Red Cedar. Each structure is tailored to your layout and built to deliver lasting beauty and reliability.
- Naturally rot- and insect-resistant with no need for heavy chemical treatments
- Maintains structure and finish in wet, cold, or dry weather
- Available in multiple tones: reddish-brown, pale gold, or silver-grey as it ages
- Aromatic scent and breathable timber help regulate interior humidity
- Suitable for insulated builds, storage, or creative conversions

Match to Landscape and Driveway
Design your garage to align with your driveway layout or garden views. Window and door placements can be adjusted for privacy, light, or symmetry.
Cedar That Performs Without Constant Upkeep
What sets cedar apart is how little it demands. It holds its form and finish through years of use and exposure. Cedar’s internal oils and low density mean it resists water absorption, so it’s less likely to warp or split. For garages storing high-value cars, bikes, or sports gear, this natural resilience is a key benefit.
Naturally Durable Timber
Western Red Cedar contains natural preservatives that protect against fungi and rot. No pressure treatment or industrial coatings are strictly needed for durability.
Stable and Breathable
The timber breathes, allowing moisture to escape. This means a significantly reduced risk of internal damp or trapped humidity in workshop setups.
Weather-Ready and Thermally Efficient
Cedar offers natural insulation properties due to its cellular structure. It helps keep the interior cooler in summer and warmer in winter compared to metal or concrete alternatives.
Ages With Character
If left untreated, cedar ages into a distinguished silvery-grey tone. This natural weathering process adds charm without compromising the performance or structural integrity of the garage.

Do Cedar Garages Need Planning Permission?
In many cases, cedar garages fall within permitted development limits. If the building is under 2.5 m high and placed in the rear garden, you likely won’t need planning consent. However, factors like proximity to boundaries or location in a Conservation Area can affect this.
We offer planning guidance early in the design process to ensure your project stays compliant. For buildings over 30 square metres, Building Regulations may also apply. Read our full Planning Guide for more information.
