Want to become the owner of a luxury oak structure? You don't need to be a professional carpenter, or even hire one! An Oak Timber Structures flat pack oak kit features expert carpentry crafted with fastidious attention to detail.
While there’s an air of tradition in the handcrafted joints, we’re always innovating. Whether it’s our online designers that allow you to take control at the design stage, or our flat pack delivery service, we're big on modern efficiency.
It's a winning formula and our kits are a trustworthy solution for homeowners, tradespeople and more. So, why are oak kits so good? Let's break it down.
Before we dive into the ‘whys’, you may need to know what a kit form oak structure actually is. There’s an entire article titled ‘What Is A Kit Form Oak Structure?’ if you want to go into detail. But let’s summarise.
Simply, a kit form structure is a practical flat pack package that, when assembled, makes a finished structure. You'll design the structure, then we'll cut beams and parts to size and complete all the carpentry work. It's flat-packed, then delivered for you or your builder to assemble the pre cut oak frame.
Kit form structures are booming and there's more than one reason homeowners, luxury landscapers, and professional builders turn to us.
Using a kit reduces the need for skilled labour on-site, in particular, a carpenter with plenty of experience with oak. You still get expert carpentry with our kits, except its all complete by our in-house artisans before it reaches your site.
Pre-cut parts and beams mean faster assembly, which further cuts back labour costs. Fitters won't need to spend time cutting and adjusting the parts on-site because it's all done for them.
With the specialist work done, assembly is more straightforward, and a general builder can complete the task at hand. Unpredictable labour costs are out the window. Of course, you'll still pay for the kit, but with fewer specialist trades required, the project becomes more streamlined.
A kit makes the budget more predictable. If you use our Online Designers, as you input your measurements to create your design, you'll see the price update at every alteration. It's transparent, and you know there's a fixed price for materials and joinery.
There's certainty, allowing tradespeople or homeowners to budget for any project.
The structure arrives in one go. No one is rushing around sourcing materials, leaving workers twiddling their thumbs. So, delegating the oak structures to us means reduced coordination headaches.
As soon as it lands on site, you're ready to go. We're clear on manufacture times too, so you'll know the period available to prepare the site. Especially important where footings are necessary.
It's another reason we're trusted by luxury landscapers. In public spaces where there are short windows, they can rest assured the process is more straightforward. No waiting for materials, no complex cuts on-site, just assembly of the structure. It's faster and more focused.
Having the cuts and joinery work done off-site makes for a cleaner site, too. Let us handle the sawdust, the off-cuts and the noise. It's just one more way we help keep your renovation running smooth and stress free.
So, the kit is a clean way of doing things. Worksites aren't overcrowded, especially important if you're working in a limited space. It allows for a strategic and smooth renovation project by preparing the site and then assembling the structure. No multiple workers in one space at a time.
Obviously, there are variables, such as your DIY skills and the size of the structure, but in some cases, the kit can be your DIY project. With the Parts Identification Drawing as your guide, you can lay everything out, slot beams into place and hammer connections with the supplied dowels.
So kits are efficient and with many benefits, but what about quality? Although the term flat-pack may have negative connotations, there's no compromising quality here.
An Oak Timber Structure product starts with quality oak. We only use construction quality timber graded either QPA or QP1. These grades are the highest available for structural use and mean the best in strength and visuals.
We take great care in sourcing the oak, making sure we use sustainable European forests. It's the careful sourcing process that ensures the highest quality materials. Far more reliable than the hit-or-miss quality you’d find in a typical hardware store.
But, no doubt, it's what you do with that quality of oak that matters, and that's where our team comes into the picture. With over 100 years of combined woodworking experience, we craft each structure with precision to order.
We only do bespoke, so each structure is made to measure. Precision cuts, handcrafted joints, planed beams, it all makes an Oak Timber Structures kit of a beacon of supreme quality and elite craftsmanship.
