For new builds, green oak framing is usually supplied fresh sawn, and the framer cuts the joints to form the frame. Once locked in place, our hardwood Oak timber frames will slowly lose moisture. They’ll develop cracks, splits and shakes and become increasingly hard.
For restoration work, it is important to work only with well-seasoned (air-dried) Oak beams and frames, since the building can no longer handle the movement and twisting of the hardwood as it seasons.
As oak frame suppliers to the trade, we can deliver custom cut oak timber frame kits for oak framed garages, car ports, porches and other oak timber frame buildings. Ecochoice are reputable timber frame suppliers and can deliver custom cut hardwood Oak timber frames for a range of builds. We can send the sawn beams to your framer, or the finished beams, as a kit, custom made in modern machinery according to your drawings directly to your site.
What We Supply for Oak Framed Buildings
We supply green oak framing timber for a wide range of oak framed buildings, including:
- Oak framed garages, from single bays to multi-bay garages with a room above
- Car ports, porches and pergolas
- Garden rooms, home offices and outbuildings
- Extensions, orangeries and complete oak frame houses
- Barns, stables and other agricultural buildings
Typical components include posts, beams, tie beams, rafters, purlins, braces and wall plates, supplied as oak beams in the sections and lengths set out in your drawings or your engineer’s calculations.
Sawn Green Oak or Oak Frame Kits
Many framers prefer to buy sawn green oak and cut their own joints, so we can supply beams sawn to your cutting list in the sizes your design calls for. If you would rather not cut the frame in-house, we can supply oak timber frame kits instead, with the joints machined to your drawings so the frame is ready to assemble on site.
