building an oak barn

[wilson]

Does anyone have any ideas about where I could get a cutting list and plans for an oak barn and someone to help me build it?

I have been collecting oak for years and can mill it on site.

thanks Archie

Which part of the country are you in, Archie? I might know someone who can help -- certainly with oak frame drawings and planning. If you're in the SW I know someone who might be able to help with the structure too.

 

I put up an oak framed garden room last summer.

You lot like pics, don't you? So do I!

 

This pic was taken after the garden room was finished but before I had chance to complete the landscaping. Note the chimney -- I've still to put in the stove.

That is stunning John... "proper job" as you might say

John that is stunning, proper job indeed. The slate roof is the key to a good sun room. I know of 2 similar and they are warm in winter, cool in summer. Not like the usual conservatories that are more like a green house lol

that woudl look much nicer in your garden?

And you haven't seen the view from it!

 

BTW Stephen; it faces due north (that's the setting sun on it) -- the secret to a garden room/conservatory that doesn't overheat in summer.
