Design Brookwoods Barn
All Brookwood Barns are
constructed from English oak, a close-grained and durable timber that has been used in the construction of traditional oak-framed buildings for many centuries. Combining the best of traditional and modern woodworking methods, we machine all our posts, tie beams, eve plates, top plates, sole plates, studwork and knee braces out of selected oak. As standard practice, we use traditional mortice-and-tenon joints, making a construction far superior to many others. We also utilize natural bends in the timber to give the wind and roof braces and the tie beams exceptional rigidity and resilience to the effects of weathering and time. Scalloped arches are used behind traditional, handmade ledge-and-braced oak doors, which are finished using handmade rosehead nails. Our skilled craftsmen pride
themselves on exceptional standards and scrupulous attention to detail. As members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, we offer you not only professional expertise and integrity but value for money. We offer a wide range of standard oak buildings, all of which have a generously sized cross-section. Buildings in our new SuperSize(TM) range offer a significant increase in the width of each bay. Designed to allow doors on both sides of a good-sized family vehicle to be fully open at the same time, giving easy under-cover access. We also offer a bespoke oak framing service. Since we cut all our oak frames ourselves we can be entirely flexible in what we offer from small garden structures to family-sized oak framed houses.
Some interesting details about us: • Offices based in the South and the East UK • We independently own our saw mill • We use genuine English oak sourced from FSC sources • We are proud members of The Guild Of Master Craftsmen • We reuse all of our timber off cuts to supply local businesses for various uses (rather proud of this)
• We featured on SKY TV recently (UKTV / Home Channel) • We feature at the famous ‘Goodwood Show’ where we erect an entire building for people to see

16 Self Build Homes | April 2012 At a minimum, we supply and erect
the oak frame (outside the UK, we provide a ‘frame only’ service) but ideally we take on the entire project. That way, we know the work is carried out to our incomparably high standards and that it will be completed on time and to budget. Our architect can clear planning permission and deal with Building Regulations for you. So you can just sit back and watch your oak building take shape.
