Why green oak
Green oak, pegged
Fresh-sawn oak, jointed and pegged. As it dries it tightens its own joints.
Framed in our yard
Every joint is cut and tried together here before a single beam leaves.
Raised in days
A garden room stands on its base in three days, ready for the roofer and the glazier.
Cut here, raised there
We draw the frame, then lay it out full size on the yard floor and cut every joint by hand. Each one is tried together and numbered with a carpenter's mark.
Then it comes apart, travels to you on one lorry and goes up again in the same order, with the same pegs.
What it costs
The frame, cut, delivered and raised on a base that is ready; roofs and glazing are priced with your builder.

Good to know
Will the oak crack?
Green oak splits a little along the grain as it dries. It is called shakes, it is normal and it does not weaken the frame.
Do I need planning permission?
For many garden rooms not, for porches often. We draw what the council needs and tell you which it is.
Who builds the base?
Our builder friends, or yours. We give them the drawing and check the base before we raise the frame.
