We have built many different types of oak outbuildings over the years including boathouses; shooting lodges, summer houses, sports pavilions, garden offices and studios, stables and greenhouses. The same level of care and attention to detail to all of our oak outbuilding projects apply regardless of how small or large the structure may be.

Quality Oak Frame Outbuildings
Where structures are exposed to the weather, we design them to ensure maximum timber longevity. While oak is a durable choice, it does not fare well when kept wet, so good detailing is essential. Oak is a great choice for outbuildings, especially for garages, summer houses, home offices, or even pool houses. Oak is one of the most dependable and resilient of all-natural construction materials that is resistant to fungal attacks, making it less likely to decay or rot.
One of the biggest advantages of oak frame outbuildings is that they provide extra space to a property without the need to apply for planning permission! As long as it is not used for sleeping accommodation and is under 15 sq m, building regulations will not be required. Whatever your project may be, talk to us.
