A statement in style,
tailored in timber
Outbuildings
An oak framed outbuilding should feel as
considered and beautifully resolved as
the home it stands beside.
With over 30 years of experience and a record three Gold Wood Awards, Green Oak Carpentry will design and handcraft your oak framed outbuilding to your exact specifications in our Hampshire workshop.
We work directly with homeowners and in collaboration with architects and building firms. Every structure we create is individually designed, engineered and handcrafted – from oak framed garages and garden rooms to pool houses and self-contained annexes.
What makes our oak
outbuildings different?
Each Green Oak Carpentry outbuilding is a true original – individually designed, engineered and handcrafted by our team of expert, traditionally trained carpenters. We combine heritage oak framing techniques with contemporary knowledge to ensure your oak outbuilding looks beautiful, works hard and lasts for years to come.
Beautifully bespoke designs
Because we don’t work to templated models, we never build the same extension twice.
Traditional and contemporary designs
Our skilful designers ensure your outbuilding feels right for its setting.
Heritage techniques
Our team of in-house carpenters handcrafts every outbuilding using centuries-old techniques.
Fully collaborative
We work with homeowners, architects and contractors for a smooth and satisfying project delivery.
Sensitive and informed
Our deep understanding of planning needs and heritage requirements allows us to work on a wide range of projects.
Environmental integrity
All our timber is sustainably sourced and PEFC-certified, and we operate using zero-waste principles.

Begin your legacy,
build in oak
Oak has a natural warmth and beauty that few materials can match. Whether you’re commissioning a garden office, studio, stables or a party barn, your oak framed outbuilding will bring character and utility, giving you a space that feels inviting, whatever the season.
Many oak outbuildings feature vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses and generous glazing, connecting them to their surroundings in a way that feels carefully considered. Prefer a more contemporary appearance? We’ll work with you to design, build and assemble an oak outbuilding that meets your exacting requirements.
Oak’s exceptional durability means it requires minimal maintenance; an important consideration for a building exposed to the full force of our unsettled British weather. As a natural insulator and renewable material, it is an energy-efficient and responsible choice – a building that treads lightly and lasts.
Every project is a one-off
No templates. No repeat designs. Every frame
we have ever made has started from scratch.
Never repeated.
Always remarkable
Explore our project gallery to inspire your oak frame building project. Take your time; each Green Oak Carpentry structure is unique and hand-built – you’ll never see the same project twice.
