It has a rise/fall of 7 ft 7ins (2.29m). The lock is a grade II* listed building.

| - Garston Lock (grid reference SU655707) is a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal. It is near the M4 motorway and near Reading, England. Garston Lock was built between 1718 and 1723 under the supervision of the engineer John Hore of Newbury, and this stretch of the river is now administered by Canal & River Trust and known as the Kennet Navigation. It has a rise/fall of 7 ft 7ins (2.29m). One of only two remaining working examples of turf sided locks on the canal (the other being Monkey Marsh Lock), Garston Lock has been described as needing "more water to operate than the now more common brick or stone-sided variety" as the sloping sides increase the volume of the lock. The two sets of lock gates work differently: the upper set operates via a mechanical system, while the lower gates are hydraulic. The top part of the lock chamber has sloping banks which are covered by vegetation of various types rather than by turf. An arrangement of steel rails ensures that boats stay in the centre of the lock during the rise/fall of 7 ft 7 in (2.31 m). The lock is a grade II* listed building. Two pillboxes dating from World War II at the northwest and southeast corners of the lock, which were built as anti tank defences, are also listed buildings.

- L’écluse de Garston est une écluse sur le canal Kennet et Avon. Elle est proche de l’autoroute M4 et de Reading, dans le Berkshire, en Angleterre. L'écluse de Garston a été construite entre 1718 et 1723 sous la direction de l'ingénieur John Hore de Newbury. Cette portion de rivière est maintenant administrée par la British Waterways et connue sous le nom de voie navigable Kennet (Kennet Navigation). L’écluse permet de franchir un dénivelé de 2,29 m (7 pi 7 po). L’écluse de Garston est l’une des deux seuls exemplaires d’écluse aux bas-côtés engazonnés sur le canal (l'autre étant l’écluse de Monkey Marsh). L’écluse de Garston a besoin d’énormément d’eau pour fonctionner ses côtés inclinés augmentant le volume de l’écluse. Les deux ensembles de portes de l'écluse fonctionnent différemment. L'ensemble supérieur fonctionne via un système mécanique, tandis que les portes inférieures sont hydraulique. La partie supérieure de la chambre de l’écluse a des talus couverts par une végétation de divers types plutôt que par du gazon. Un arrangement de rails en acier permet de garantir que les bateaux restent au centre de l’écluse lors des 2,31 m de montée / descente. L’écluse est un ouvrage classé grade II. Deux casemates datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale au nord-ouest et au sud-est de l’écluse, qui étaient construites comme des défenses antichars, sont également des ouvrages classés.
