Green Oak Framing

Over recent years we have been fortunate enough to take on more traditional carpentry work and Green Oak framing is an aspect of the job that myself and employees  find very enjoyable.Coming from  a predominately speed build background,  I find working with hardwoods a refreshing change as the essence of the job at hand is nearly always quality rather than quantity and the combination of physically demanding and skillfully challenging makes for a rewarding day at work.

Green Oak framing is a Beautiful material to work with and like all things of beauty it needs to be crafted with knowledge and respect, short cuts are not an option here as thought must be placed into every stage of the construction, from the cuts of timber used and their positioning in the frame,  to the  joinery chosen and the skill with which it is executed.

Porches, Gazebos, Feature Trusses, Sheds, Carports and Outbuildings all look amazing in Green Oak and when Crafted with patience and experience they will still be around for future generations to enjoy.

This is our preferred area of work and we would gratefully receive and enquirees regarding external Green Oak Joinery.

 Below are some pictures taken from a recent Carport we constructed in Salisbury. A very basic sketch of the intended carport was given to us and we worked with the client to achieve the overall design, this included the materials used, Joinery utilized and the structural calculations of the beams and loading’s.

First post cut is an example of the post joinery for an english tying joint, you’ll note that the tenons run through both the ring beam and the tie beam and when all members are in place this joint is a perfect example of structural joinery.
