Untreated cedar shingles - Untreated shingles can be installed as they are or you can apply your own treatment or stain. Although untreated, these shingles will last 25 - 35 years depending on the amount and range of weather exposure.
Treated cedar shingles - These pre-treated shingles will last a further 10 - 15 years over our untreated ones and provide greater resistance to mould in damp environments.
None - No shingles are supplied so you can either source your own or fit your choice of tiles. These porches are very strong and are more than capable of supporting standard roof tiles.

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.
If you don't see the exact design you want, don't worry, just do a simple sketch and email it over to us on . We can make any oak porch you require. Feel free to call us on 01889 597 283 to discuss.

How To Order Your Oak Framed Porch
All major cards
securely accepted
Ordering from Oak Timber Structures is straightforward. Nevertheless, our team is on hand to help throughout the process. Here are the simple steps to order a bespoke oak porch:
- First, create the oak porch using the designer or send drawings to contact@oaktimberstructures.co.uk.
- For online orders, click ‘Add to Basket’.
- Navigate to your shopping basket where you can checkout securely online. We accept all major credit cards excluding American Express (as image). If you run into any checkout issues, please contact us using the online chat or call us and we’ll talk you through the process. Alternatively, you can order over the phone.
- We then produce technical drawings for you to sign off and gain approval from a structural engineer if needed. CAD drawings take between 2-3 working days to produce.
- If you are unhappy with an aspect of the drawings, we encourage you to call and seek advice from our helpful and friendly staff. They’ll revise the drawings accordingly and send them back to you for re-approval.
- Once signed off, we add your structure to the production queue and create it according to the stated lead times. During this time, many people use the approved drawings to get their groundwork in place if required.
- Our skilled team assembles the oak porch to make sure there are no issues. This also allows us to code all components for seamless assembly. We then dismantle the porch and organise it into transportable kit form.
- If you're running behind schedule, we're happy to store your structure for up to 4 weeks at no extra charge. Please note that we limit storage to 4 weeks. As green oak dries, it shrinks. Shrinkage is normal. In fact, our skilled staff prepares your structure for shrinkage to fuse joints, making them tighter and more robust. Yet, after 4 weeks, joints can become misaligned and harder to assemble, so it's important to limit storage time.
- We schedule delivery by liaising with you once your bespoke oak porch is complete.
