All of the timber in this garden building has been responsibly sourced and pressure-treated to ensure it lasts. Pressure treatment forces the wood preservative into the timber rather than simply dip treating (essentially just covering the exterior) like many companies still do.
Unlike some competition, we can offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against wood-eating fungal and insect infestation on pressure-treated timber.
All our Pressure Treated timber is for Use Class 3.
Unlike our competitors, we only use high-quality spruce timber on our wooden products rather than cheap pine or mixed timber. Why do we use slow grown spruce rather than the much cheaper knotty pine alternatives?
Spruce is considered more stable as it expands and contracts less than pine. This stability means that the spruce timbers in our garden buildings minimise splits from appearing as the timber changes along with the weather. We responsibly source all our timber, where it grows slowly in the cold northern regions. We all know the old adage of counting the rings to see how old a tree is, well our timber grows slower and takes longer to get to size meaning it has more rings in it. This means it has a tighter grain, and each ring helps prevent cracks and shakes from appearing in the densely packed timber.
Our wooden garden buildings and climbing frames really are built to last therefore we use only the highest quality, slow-grown spruce. Spruce is much more resilient to warps and splits compared to its cheaper alternative pine. Being a whitewood, it doesn’t discolour anywhere near as much as pine so it is also much more aesthetically pleasing for a garden structure. Considered more stable, less knotty and resinous than pine, spruce will also produce a lot less sap. It is also less dense meaning it is not as susceptible to mould and rot.
Our thick tongue and groove roof boards are made from 19mm pressure treated slow-grown spruce. This heavy-duty material is perfect for withstanding anything the British weather can throw at it. Supported by full lengths of heavy-duty purlins, which come in a whopping 140mm x 45mm. These oversized purlins will prevent the roof from sagging.
We use chunky 120mm x 120mm posts which not only look pleasing but they also support the heavy-duty roof purlins, guaranteeing a strong robust structure which is built to last.
You can customise your porch based on your favoured design. Pick a crown configuration that’s most suited to the style of your property and create a stunning feature that will welcome any guest.
Contemporary
Opting for a straight crown finish is ideal for anyone after a more modern finish.
Traditional
Alternatively, you can choose to build your porch with a fanned-out crown for a look that’s more traditional.
The choice is yours!
We only use full lengths of timber in our garden products – we don’t glue separate offcut pieces together with finger joints. Not only are they stronger, but they look much better too.
Other companies are happy to provide you with rough offcuts, mixed timber and finger jointed timber, creating an odd-looking weak garden building with an off-putting appearance.
All of our timber Pergolas, Gazebos, Carports and Porches are fully pressure treated as standard. We take the pre-cut lengths of timber and place them in a large pressure treatment tank, where the timbers are impregnated with a non-toxic preservative. We add a colourant during this process, giving the timber a rich brown colour. By pressure treating the timber, we can offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation. We only suggest that you apply a good quality water repellent to prolong the longevity of the timber.
The below image is a figurative example of how pressure treatment penetrates wood more effectively than the dip treatment technique which does not penetrate wood in the same way, often only providing a surface coat of treatment and stain. This method therefore offers less resistance to rot and decay.
Unlike some competitors, we pressure treat our timbers and what is more, we treat only after cutting to ensure no timber ends are left exposed!
A lot of dip-treated sheds require a preservative to be added upon installation or within one year of purchasing their sheds. Ours do not require this, saving you time and money!
For your ease and convenience, we include all the screws, bolts, nails and other fixing needed to put together your structure. There’s no need to worry about what sort of bolts or size of nails you’ll need. We include all the right fixings for the job as standard.
*Flashing and brackets/fixings required to attach the structure to your wall are not included. As different types of walls require different fixings, you will need to seek professional advice as to which fixings to use.

All Houses are different some are brick, some are not. We do not therefore supply the fixings, however in the ‘how to build guide’ we show where the fixing screws are to be placed and drilled into your House. This includes the walls the base and the roof.
We use slow-grown spruce timber to make this Porch. Spruce is less porous than Pine and so less likely to shrink, warp or split.
It is 2.98m (9' 9") high
The posts are: 120mm x 120mm
We offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on all pressure treated timber.

Porch
The porch itself is extremely good and made of very sturdy wood. It would have been nice to have wooden dowels to cover the bolts as these are seen, but saying that we are very pleased with our purchase and the service given. There were a couple of issues. We thought as in the information on buying we had everything needed for the porch, but this was not so. We had to purchase the tiles separately at another cost and we have enough tiles to do at least another porch, why we were sent and charged for so many I dont understand. Also the ridge tiles (not sure if that is the correct word) were missing and as we only had the builder for two days he purchased some from the local DIY.
