GARAGES
Many Kiwi companies began in garages, but Skyline began by building them. Our classic Kiwi garages are now an iconic part of New Zealand’s landscape.
With our garages you can make tweaks to the cladding, paint finish, doors, roof pitches and stud heights, so there’s no danger of it looking like your neighbour’s.
Cladding Colours
You can choose from a variety of cladding options, depending on whether you want it to match an existing building or if you have a specific look in mind.

THE STANDARD ROOF
Skyline’s very own 6-rib steel roofing with special aluminium edge ridge flashing has heaps of advantages including easy gutter replacement. For other options, such as corrugated iron, give us a call and we can talk you through them. The standard Skyline roof includes:
- Roof purlins never further apart than 1m
- Wall studs never further apart than 600mm
- Trusses never more than 1.2m apart
Garaports/Verandah
An extended roof line can be added to the gable end or a Garaport can be added to the side of a building to provide extra space for storage of caravans, boats, etc. Great for outdoor living, BBQ area, childrens play area, or drying clothes on a wet day.
The pitch
Standard Roof :
Our standard roof pitch is 15 degrees, so the roof won’t get in the way of your view. It’ll also easily fit within height to boundary criteria, so the lads and ladies at the council will be happy.
Flat Roof :
Skyline can give you a roof at a pitch of just four degrees.
Custom Pitch :
If your roof pitch simply has to match any other buildings on site, such as your house or dog kennel, never fear. We have many pitch options available.
EXTRAS
Once you’ve chosen your roof, there are a few other tweaks you can make. It might pay to talk them through with your local Skyline supplier, as they’ll be able to iron out exactly what you need. Some options include:
- Gable overhangs
- Extended roof lines
- Corrugated iron roof
Construction
Our buildings have been part of New Zealand’s landscape for over 60 years. That’s because we build them to last, with rock-solid framing and construction.
Frames
Skyline frames make buildings long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear.
LVL TREATED STRESS-GRADED TIMBER :
We make our frames with 90mm X 45mm LVL Treated Stress-Graded timber. This is essentially the same as the old 4 x 2 framing timber except it’s stronger! . That means it won’t twist or warp after a summer scorcher.
TRUSSES AND STUDS :
Framing studs are at 600 mm centres and with noggings, giving it added strength. In addition, trusses are never more than 1.2m apart. We top that off by using special truss to stud and frame connections. As an extra precaution, all frames are tested and designed to withstand strong winds.
Stud height
If you’re over two metres tall (or want to park something other than a standard car) it might pay to give this section a read.
STANDARD HEIGHT :
The standard Skyline stud height of 2.1m is perfect if you’re just storing a car, but popular heights also include 2.4m, 2.7m and 3m.
CUSTOM HEIGHTS :
You may want something a bit higher than our standard height to fit the fork lift, boat, truck or F-16. So if you need something a bit different, we can arrange almost anything.
Doors
With a variety of doors available, one will be just right for you. It all depends on how you plan to use your building or how you want it to look.
Standard garage doors
Skyline single and double garages come with standard door openings up to 2900mm wide, double garages have two doors, or one wide door up to 4800mm opening width. All Skyline Buildings are available with wider door options if required.
