Expertly made Solid Oak Porches

Oak Timber Structures thrives on quality and reputation as well as keeping costs to a minimum for the customer. All of our oak framed porches are made from solid oak. The oak framed porch sections are planed all round and lightly sanded for a smooth finish and are held together using traditional mortice and tennon jointing. They include a set of kiln dried oak pegs, and all holes are pre-drilled and supplied in a kit form ready for the customer or builder to put together.

We erect all of our oak porches, code each section piece and then dismantle them for ease of shipment. Our oak porches slot together perfectly and are then secured by knocking in a number of the kiln dried oak pegs, which will tighten the oak frame up even more over time.

The oak framed porches will add a natural and elegant appearance to any home and will give you and your visitors that luxurious, homely feel when walking up to the property.

  Porch 1 sits on a Brick wall and has a queen truss at the front with two large curved braces.

• Porch 3
  Porch 3 doesn’t meet the ground and is suspended upon the wall via two brace plates
• Porch 4
  The final porch design sits on top of a brick wall and has a truss which is pulled back slightly from the from of the porch with multiple straight braces on a curved tie beam.
