Bay Car Ports

Tradoak was commissioned to make a 3-bay carport through a word-of-mouth referral who knew we produce and deliver great work.

The decision was made to have the frame semi-open and made from seasoned air-dried oak beams, we then designed the frame and created a set of 3D frame drawings and visual representation to be agreed upon by the client.

The frame was fabricated and sanded at our yard in Sheffield park and then delivered to the site in a kit form, the frame was supplied with pegs and the instruction drawings to put the beams together.

The base and brickwork were already laid for the frame.

The process of putting the frame together starts from the bottom plate and works upwards.

We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this project and look forward to seeing this structure in 100 years' time as it ages and grows in character.

Breathing New Life into an Older Building

This frame added real character to the aesthetic of the building, but even the strongest oak beams eventually feel the strain of time. Over the years, exposure to moisture and all the elements of our […]

The Beauty of Floorboards Made from Reclaimed Beams

Floorboards made from sawn reclaimed beams are every bit as beautiful as “authentic” reclaimed floorboards — and they offer advantages over traditional boards. There is real beauty because even though the timber started life as a beam rather than a plank, the character is still there, the history is still there, and the craftsmanship brings […]
