[ What we build ]
Keep everyone dry, all year round
Every shelter we make is drawn, built and installed by our own team. Sizes, roofs and finishes are made to suit the site, so what goes in fits the space rather than the other way round.

- 5m by 4.1m
- Seats 30 to 35
- Galvanised steel posts concreted into the ground so the legs never rot
- Finished in Welsh oil
[ How they are built ]
Built for Welsh weather
Posts that do not rot
Galvanised steel posts are concreted into the ground and the timber legs sit over them, so the timber never sits in wet ground.
The timber
Locally sourced oak and sweet chestnut, alongside Douglas fir, larch and spruce, from managed forests.
The finish
Everything is finished in an oil-based product, and we recommend re-coating each spring.
Drawn before it is built
Every structure is drawn by hand, to scale, before anything is cut.

We come back.
Everything we make is finished in an oil-based product, and we recommend re-coating each spring. That stops the timber cracking and splintering, keeps the water out and slows the algae that makes a surface slippery.
On a yearly maintenance plan we come back, inspect the timber, make good any minor damage and re-spray it. In year five we add an anti-fungal treatment.
