THE BRABOURNE PORCH in solid oak. CURVED FRONT POSTS & FULL CURVED TIE BEAM
Oak porch - THE'BRABOURNE'. FULL OF CURVES AND STYLE. Our solid green oak frames are hand crafted and traditionally built to last, with large feature front curved jowl posts cut from large solid 250 x 150mm oak. We use draw dowels so all the joints pull in tight on final installation with the use of the tapered, oak pegs provided in the kit. The main uprights at the front and rear are 150mm x 150mm where they meet the dwarf wall and are all jointed to a solid 150mm wide sole plate timber.
Across the front elevation we cut a graceful curved tie beam from large section oak. This gives the porch real elegance and creates a feature entrance. The roof timbers are also in 100 x 50mm solid oak and are fixed with the supplied hex screws onto the large oak ridge beam. We can build the porch to your dimensions as required and can accommodate a variety of designs, whether you are looking for a simple canopy or larger porch to incorporate bench seating or glazing etc.
The photos in the listing show examples of a few of the porches we have constructed and supplied to customers, we have many more photo examples and testimonies from happy customers also. We have a very simple pdf file available that identifies key measurements required for your build...
Give us a call and we can send this out to you. What you receive for this listing price. The listing is for our hand made oak porch we call " THE BRABOURNE " in the same style as the example photos. The kits are designed to be simple to put together and typically the only fixing required is through the is through the rear rafters into the wall. We supply all the tapered dowels and hex screws for the rafters.
The listing price is based on a porch kit with a external post footprint of up to 2200mm width and 1200mm deep. Side height is 1200mm to the top of the top plate and the whole structure is designed to sit on 900mm walls/plinths." THE BRABOURNE " has strong, large front curved jowl posts tied with a graceful, solid and substantial curved beam across the front elevation. To the sides we add feature design and strength with 1 spindle and one feature curved brace. The side spindles have a nice stop chamfer to add to the frames timeless, classic detail. The frame is supplied with a sanded finish.
Oak of course protects itself so there is no need to treat further, unless it is aesthetic - some customers like the oiled look. It is important to ensure any oil used has no varnish content. Our standard roof pitch is 45degrees and the kit is designed to be placed on 900mm dwarf brickwork wall, which wold give you approx 2100mm walk in but we can adjust measurements and also pitch as required to suit your design. It is possible for us to add extra side detail with another curved brace and more spindles as required, we do make a charge to build these into your frame. At 1500mm depth from wall the Brabourne looks fantastic with 2 curved braces and 3 spindles to the sides.
We are also able to add sprockets to the roof line to give an elegant flick to the end of the roof if required. Typically, most frames are not to the listing exact size and specification so it is really important that we discuss measurements and required pitch etc with you before placing an order with us. We want to make sure we get it right and have a long list of very happy customers. We are always happy to offer advice on selecting the right design and look forward to speaking to you. All our solid oak frames are designed and delivered to try and keep things simple for construction. We have over 30 years experience within the team working with oak. Please note there may be marks made to the frame in transit on leaving the workshop. We always recommend using a dilute oxalic acid solution to clean up the green oak after install.This will help with any water staining as well as ladder marks etc from installation.
