At Timberpride we’re proud to be responsible in sourcing our oak from well managed woodland in the UK. The growing conditions and forest health are closely observed to ensure future health for generations to come. Each Oak tree grows for a long time, a thriving eco system is therefore vital.

The Process
The Process
Once a British Oak tree is felled it’s brought to our yard in Tetbury. We begin the process of grading, milling and grading again. Reading each beam to use it or position it to it’s greatest strength and advantage before we start carving the joints.

The Craftsmen
The Craftsmen
We’re committed to using traditional skills. With a material as idiosyncratic as oak you have to really understand the grain patterns and how it will behave later on when in a frame. That’s why we trust skilled hands over automated methods.

The Benefit
The Benefit
Oak frame construction has been around for many centuries, with buildings still standing for many more to come. Oak simply lasts a very long time when used correctly. The environmental impact of using oak in construction over modern methods is substantial as well.

The Result
The Result
A beautiful oak frame design which will last for generations to come. Oak frames are a tried and tested method of sturdy construction and each project is unique entirely to you and your specification.
