Marley Manor Pool Barn
1 / 4
This is another classic form of pool enclosure with side aisles and King post trusses, this time with a highly efficient stainless steel ‘gib and cotter’ tensioning system between the foot of the King post and the tie beam. The building is the work of local architect Robert Trembath who continues to carry out excellent work in the area. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
Besides the pool barn we fabricated a stairs tower and fitness studio adjoining the main pool. These shots taken in our workshop at prefabrication stage, and show the conical roof of the stairs tower and its main octagonal roof post which lands on the corner of the top plate of the fitness studio to make a neat termination.

Here is the main pool barn roof frame assembled ready for us to cut and pitch the oak rafters. When roof structures have a level of complexity is pays to pre-assemble in the workshop before final assembly on site. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
Here we see the hip end of the main pool barn and the stairs tower and fitness studio roofs assembled on site nearly ready for hand over to the builder to clad. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
“"We wanted to write to you to express our profound gratitude for the excellent work you have done on our building scheme. It cannot have been easy to pick up the project from another architect when there were still a number of issues unresolved, but you have done so brilliantly and remained calm throughout, even at fraught times. We really do appreciate that you have gone the extra mile for us. We have all enjoyed working with you and have been so impressed with the quality of your work."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
“"I wanted to drop you a quick note to show my appreciation for your guys efforts today; they were a pleasure to have around the house and worked hard to get the frame up today."
Paul, Contracts Manager
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
