Timber Buildings
We can Design and build you any Timber framed building , from a garden gazebo to an oak framed Chapel. We build in the traditional way, with mortise and pegged tenon joints.  We can create your perfect building and space using locally sourced sustainable timber.

Green Oak Garden Room which we designed & built for a client in Carmel , Carmarthenshire. We drew up the plans,  & designed the frame . The timber was milled in our own sawmill from prime Welsh oak. With the help of our stone mason- Dale Vaughan who  built the base, we constructed the green oak frame in our workshop , using  traditional mortise ,tenon & pegged joints.  We delivered the numbered frame to Carmel  and erected it  on site. The Garden room was then roofed with Welsh slate, glazed on to the frame with double glazed units, which allows the frame to move and breath.
A garden room is a useful  addition to any home. Enjoy the beauty and warmth of natural materials used to construct this garden room.
