Only the finest seasoned (air-dried) oak is used in the construction of your lean to porch.
Seasoned oak is known for its increased hardness and lower moisture content. This produces a more stable product minimising shrinkage in the future.
All finished projects are pre-planed, pre-sanded and pre-oiled ready to install.
Full working drawings always accompany the 'Lean To' porch to ensure all components and accessories are included.
Attention to detail is a core value at every step of the production process, making it a worthwhile investment for any homeowner.
A 'Lean To' porch is attached to your property at roof level using a wall plate. This oak member is used to support the sloping rafters that create the roof pitch.
Sometimes, a 'Lean To' porch is better suited to shallow depth and longer (wider) porches, creating a verandah-like construction.
Extra wide (long) projects can then benefit from additional front posts to support the tie (ring) beam at the front.
We will listen to your ideas and look to provide a solution.
Your 'Lean To; porch is personal to you; your own designer porch.
The design, footprint and feasibility all needs working out prior to manufacturing.

Brian wanted to create a warm welcome to his already lovely stone built home in The Cotswolds. He felt the way to proceed, would be to install an oak porch. After looking around on the Internet, he came across Oak By Design's Inspiration/Case Studies page. He was immediately struck by how lovely each oak porch looked.
The initial phone call was made to the Oak By Design office where Brian spoke to Amanda. He explained that he would really love to have a hipped porch for the front of his home.
Amanda took some details and e-mailed Brian with the information, which would be required for her to be able to issue a quotation. This included the dimensions of the new lean-to. He also sent a photo of the front of the house. Oak By Design offer an advice service along with the quote and design.
Once the porch was ready, Brian was contacted to agree a delivery date to his home. This was done via the courier service STS Palletways.
An extremely happy Brian phoned Amanda to say thank you to everyone involved. He also sent in the wonderful pictures on this article.
Oak By Design do agree Brian’s house certainly has a very warm welcome now!
