How green oak seasons

Green oak retains much of its natural moisture. Checks, shrinkage and colour changes develop as it dries. The design and jointing should allow for this natural movement.

  • Oak frames, porches and carports
  • Posts, beams, trusses and purlins
  • Barns, garden buildings and restoration work

Cut to your requirements

Send your sections, lengths, quantities and required grade. State whether the dimensions are sawn or finished sizes, and include any machining details. We will confirm availability with your quotation.
