Seamless Expansion: A Garaport Extension That Adds Space & Style
When you outgrow your current shed, a smart extension can be the perfect solution and that’s exactly what this 7.7m x 8m Garaport delivers. Designed to flow seamlessly from an existing structure, this Garaport extension adds valuable space without the cost or disruption of a full rebuild.
Whether you’re after extra room for parking, undercover storage, or a protected work area, this Garaport will tick all the boxes. The open front design offers easy access while still proving reliable shelter from sun, rain and harsh weather which is ideal for our Northern NSW climate. With limitless design possibilities, Fair Dinkum Builds are created specifically with your purpose, site requirements, and personal preferences in mind.
The breakdown of this Garaport build is as follows:
- Width – 7.7 metres
- Length – 8 metres
- It has been attached to the existing garage via roof penetrations and retrospectively fitted.
Can you build a Garaport on an existing slab?
Yes, it is possible to build a Garaport on an existing slab. What we would conduct in the first instance, is a site visit to check the size and condition of the slab and inspect for any visible cracks or damage that may prevent the build process going smoothly. Next, we would need to determine the compatibility of the Shed or Awning design to ensure that it suited your existing slab, and that all necessary posts and bracing could be used to build your new Garaport extension on the existing slab. This ensures that we are building a structure that has been wind checked to your rated area and will withstand a weather event in the future. By considering these factors, you can determine whether building a Garaport on an existing slab is feasible and proceed with the building process. It’s always advisable to consult with your Local Council for guidance and ensure that your Garaport is built safely and in compliance with all necessary codes.
Do I need Council permission to build a Garaport?
Yes, more than likely you will need planning permission from your local council, to carry out extensions to your existing shed. As part of our site visit process during the design phase, we will conduct a visual inspection of your existing shed to firstly see whether our Fair Dinkum Builds product can be retrofitted to your shed and carry out preliminary works in preparation to submit the DA to your local council. We need to be mindful of how close to the boundary we are building, if there are any services or drains to be made aware of, before we carry out construction work.
