Beyond the standard sizes

Bespoke oak frames, shaped around your project.

Based in Waterhouses, Staffordshire, near Ashbourne, we welcome bespoke oak framing projects across Staffordshire and Derbyshire and enquiries from further afield. For unusual dimensions, roofed structures and more complex garden spaces, send us the outline. We can work from a simple sketch, photographs or detailed plans.

Tell us what you have in mind

Approximate dimensions are fine. Add photographs or a sketch if they help explain the space.

Submitting an enquiry does not commit you to an order. We’ll review the design, delivery access and installation availability before pricing the work.

Bespoke design service

From your initial idea to a detailed oak frame design.

We can help develop your ideas into a considered design before the oak is cut. Using your measurements, photographs and requirements, we can prepare drawings that set out the frame dimensions, layout, oak sections, joinery and key details for your project.

This example shows a bespoke oak outdoor kitchen and BBQ shelter, designed around a worktop, shelving, log storage and the customer’s grill. The roof finish, proportions and individual elements were brought together in one clear proposal so the customer could see how the finished structure would work.

Every project is different. We can refine the design with you and then provide a quotation for making and, where required, installing the oak frame.

This oak porch sketch shows how a frame can be designed around the entrance to an existing property. Front and side elevations sit alongside roof and rafter plans, with dimensions showing the proposed proportions and layout.

The drawing is an example of a bespoke design. Dimensions and details are tailored to each project.

Our local area

Oak framing in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

From our Waterhouses base, we discuss oak frames for gardens and outdoor spaces near Ashbourne, Leek and across the surrounding counties. Tell us your location, intended use and preferred style so we can confirm the scope and installation arrangements.

Porches, roofed gazebos and outdoor kitchen frames need a specification suited to their roof and use. They are quoted individually rather than priced as standard open-roof pergola kits.
