Garage
Construction
SafeGuarD Extra-High Garages
are available in single/double units with an apex side
draining roof in a choice of two eaves heights - 3.0m
(9ft 10in) and 3.50m (11ft 6in) - codes SXA30
and SXA35, five internal
widths - from 3.66m (12ft 0in) to 7.32m (24ft 0in) - codes
/036, /043, /049,
/061 and /073
and a selection of lengths (i.e. code /074).
The apex height varies with the width of the garage (see
the gable elevation layouts on the right). |

Roller
Shutter Doors
The main access is a continuous sheet curtain steel roller
shutter door with an external, low maintenance plastisol-coating
(colour - brown). Doors have a standard manual chain operation
with electric operation an option. Doors are available
with clear heights of 2.5m (8ft 2in) for height code SXA30
garages or 3.0m (9ft 10in) for height code SXA35 garages.
Clear widths vary - see tables on the right. For drive
through, doors at both gable ends are optional. |
Garage
Support Structure
SafeGuarD Extra-High Garages have primed steel portal
frames at maximum 3.66m(12ft 0in) centres. Roof purlins
and wall rails are cold-formed galvanised steel sections
and frame bolts zinc plated. |
Wall
Panels
Heavy-duty, non-combustible, 2.13m (7ft 0in) high Compton
SafeGuarD precast concrete panels with steel-reinforced
vertical stiffening ribs at 200mm centres are finished
externally with an applied spar aggregate. All connecting
bolts and other fittings are rusting resistant. All external
joints are sealed internally with mastic. A sand and cement
fillet is installed to the internal perimeter of external
walls. |
Applied
Spar Aggregate Finish
This maintenance-free, attractive, multi-coloured spar
finish harmonises well with surroundings. The spar is
factory applied to the front face of concrete wall panels.
Aggregate faced concrete samples are available on request
for planning applications. |
Roofing
and Wall Cladding (above wall panels)
Box-profile, galvanised steel sheeting for roofing and
wall cladding is finished externally with a low maintenance
plastisol-coating (colour - mushroom). In addition, all
roof sheeting is finished internally with a ‘Grafo-Therm’
anti-condensation coating. All galvanised steel flashings
have a brown plastisol finish giving a smart appearance. |
Rainwater
Disposal
Our standard specification includes the supply and fitting
of a rainwater goods system. Black PVCu guttering is half
round 112mm (41/2in approx) with stop ends and running
outlet fitted to a brown plastisol steel eaves fascia.
Black PVCu downpipes are 68mm (23/4in approx) diameter
with discharge shoe at slab level. |
Window,
Rooflight and Personnel Door Options
Information on our full range of windows, rooflights,
personnel doors and other options is available on request. |
Concrete
Bases
Standard base detail drawings are available on request.
The base slab (provided by others) should be 152mm (6in)
larger than the external width and external length of
garage size selected. To ensure building accuracy and
alignment the base slab must be both flat and level. |
Garage
Layout Drawings and Calculations
As part of enquiry and order progress, standard plan and
elevation drawings together with building detail drawings
and structural calculations are available for Planning
and Building Regulations approval if required. |
How
to Specify a SafeGuarD Extra-High Garage
We suggest you measure the height, width and length of
your vehicle. Then assess what additional clearances are
needed for roof racks, aerials, access and storage to
establish the approximate garage size required. Next,
using the roller shutter door clear height and clear width
tables on the right, select the minimum door opening height
and width required. This establishes the practical building
height and width codes for your garage. For further details,
see the coded front elevation drawings on the right hand
page.
Using your required length, select the coded internal
and external length from tables on the right. Where
space permits, select from the standard range of red lengths.
These have support frames at their maximum 3.66m (12ft
0in) spacing and hence offer the lowest cost per square
metre. Alternatively, choose from the intermediate
lengths that use a 1.22m (4ft 0in) length increment. |
| Allow
1.1m (3ft 8in) for working space between the garage and
fences, walls or boundaries. |
| A typical code of a
SafeGuarD Extra-High Garages
is SXA35/036/074. This garage
has an eaves height of 3.5m (11ft 6in), an external width
of 3.81m (12ft 6in) and a length of 7.47m (24ft 6in).
The gable elevation mounted roller shutter door clear
height is 3.0m (9ft 10in) and the clear width is 3.12m
(10ft 2in). |
