Case Study

Oak Frame Extension with Sling Brace Trusses.

Location

Situated in Dippenhall, Farnham

The property

The property is a new build home surrounded by fields with far stretching views over Farnham town. Built to a vey high standard by JRB building ltd we were subcontracted to fabricate and install this oak frame.

The process

Design drawings provided by Foundations architects were provided and a preliminary fee for our works was offered and accepted.
On this occasion, John Wilson from foundations architects visited the workshop to discuss the incorporation of decretive chamfer details and peg locations to complement the historic oak frames within the village.
A timber list was provided and approved, the oak was then sourced and delivered to our workshop and the build commenced.
The oak frame was fabricated using traditional jointing techniques and the curved sling braces were shaped with our specialist machinery.
Upon completion, the frame was disassembled and transported to site.
The frame was erected within a day with the help of a crane.
