Bespoke Oak Frame Construction in Shropshire

Oak framing is one of the most beautiful and enduring forms of construction – a method that has been used in Britain for centuries and one that creates structures of tremendous character and longevity. E J Dean Construction designs and builds bespoke oak frame structures across Shropshire and Mid Wales.

Every oak frame structure we build is unique. We work with you to design something that fits your plot, your property, and your vision – whether that's a classic cart lodge, a contemporary glazed structure, or a full barn conversion.

Oak Frame Structures We Build

Oak Frame Garages & Car Ports

Cart lodges and open-fronted car ports with the natural warmth and character of exposed green oak – a beautiful addition to any property.

Oak Porches & Extensions

Oak-framed porches, lean-tos, and extensions that add character and space to both period and contemporary homes.

Barn Conversions

Full and partial barn conversions using oak frame construction – preserving the agricultural character of the building while creating modern living space.

Garden Structures

Gazebos, pergolas, covered walkways, and garden rooms – bringing the beauty of oak into your outdoor space.

Why Choose Oak Framing?

Green oak is one of the most sustainable building materials available – it's naturally durable, carbon-sequestering, and requires no chemical treatment. As it dries and ages, oak develops beautiful natural cracks (called shakes) and a rich silver-grey patina that only improves with time.

Working With Oak

We use green (unseasoned) oak which is easier to cut and joint than dried timber. The frame is raised on site and the wood seasons naturally in situ, gradually hardening and strengthening over time. The process is a skilled craft and one we take great pride in.
