OUR OAK PORCH KITS: A FOCUS ON WEATHER RESISTANCE
Our Timber Selection
Our preference for Quercus Robur or Quercus Petraea oak in our oak porch kits underlines our dedication to durability and weather resistance. These species of oak offer superior timber quality for manufacturing, withstand varying weather conditions, and provide increased volume due to their lengthier, straighter growth.
To ensure the utmost resilience to weather, each piece of timber is rigorously examined for potential flaws that could undermine the frame’s strength or stability. Any piece revealing a hint of weakness is immediately discarded by a certified timber grader. These graders undergo yearly training to maintain their expertise and stay abreast of industry standards.
Quality Assurance
Post-machining, each timber piece is subjected to additional inspections, ensuring it meets our high-quality standards and doesn’t harbour any deeper, concealed defects. This meticulous quality control ensures that our porch kits can withstand even the harshest weather conditions.
Aftercare and Weatherproofing
The green oak’s natural moisture content may result in the appearance of natural tannins or black marks on your oak. These will fade over time, but if immediate removal is preferred, a product such as oxalic acid can be used. We specifically recommend Rubio Monocoat’s Tannin Remover, a ready-to-use product that effectively removes black stains and spots on wood caused by a reaction to acid and water. This enhances the weatherproofing properties of the wood.
DIY: WEATHER-RESISTANT AND READY TO ASSEMBLE
Our porch kits are the perfect choice for DIY enthusiasts who value durability and weather resistance. If DIY isn’t your strength, no need to fret – our porch kits are designed to be straightforward enough for anyone to assemble, regardless of skill level.

We include all required materials, precut and measured for a perfect fit, ensuring the finished structure can withstand the elements.
