Completing Your Home with a Self Build Porch Kit
Our self build porch kits are ideal for making you the master of your own DIY project, setting you up with everything you need to build an oak or timber porch that will bring value, use, and that little bit of extra space to your home.
With an easy-to-build design and a high-quality finish, our porches should offer you a fast, simple installation and a home improvement feature youâll be proud of for years to come.
Youâll even get to cut out the time spent and the costs involved with third party labour by installing the porch youâd like to see, and youâll be able to complete the work on your own set schedule.

Our Self Build Porch Designs
We can offer customers across the UK a range of different wooden porch kit designs, each of which weâll have delivered for you to start building as soon as the work has been signed off (within 6 to 8 weeks of completion):
- Wall Mounted Porch
- Wall & Floor Mounted Porch
- Low Brick Plinth Porch
- High Brick Plinth Porch
- Full Height Porch
These products all come in either Douglas-fir or green oak frame, and are all gable roof designs as standard. We are also able to craft lean-to and hip roof porch designs if you need a porch roof that offers more cover and protection from the elements.
Our Bespoke Options for Porch Kits
Many customers come to us with design ideas already in mind for their own DIY porches, and weâre always ready to help make these ideas come to life. If you have plans for a bespoke porch that you would like to build yourself but need a team of experts to craft the frames, get in touch with us. Weâll take every specification you have into account to make sure the design youâve talked through with us is reflected in the porch kit you get at the end of our work.
Do Porches Need Planning Permission?
In most cases, you should find that our porch kits wonât require planning permission. This is because they fall within the terms of permitted development. However, there may be some exceptions to the rule if you choose a larger porch design, in which case you may need to be prepared to make an application to your local building authority.
To find out more about the general rules and regulations around planning permission and porches, please see our advice page. For more specific information about your local area, you will need to contact your local council. They will be able to tell you more about rules that may only apply where you live.
Priming Self Build Porch Kits for an Easy Assembly
All of our porch kits are manufactured using a series of traditional jointing techniques that we consistently use as part of our work practices. We keep to these techniques because they allow for the cut frames to slot neatly together during the installation. This means that any purchaser with some previous DIY or home improvement experience should find our products quick and easy to build and put in place on their property.
To help you with your self build porch project, weâll always include an easy-to-follow instruction manual in your kitâs pack. Planning drawings will also be made available upon request.
Our Product Builder.
Our gallery is stocked with pictures of porches weâve crafted for customers across the UK and the Channel Islands, so you can see what any potential design you choose will look like once youâve put it together. By taking a look at the images here, you might even be inspired to add something to the design youâve planned out for your own self build porch kit.
There is also a chance that youâll come across a design thatâs almost exactly what youâre looking for for your property, but notice that it needs a few amendments before you decide to hang it over your front door. When this happens, youâll find our product builder ready and waiting to help. This completely free online tool is available on all of our product pages, so you can mix and match different styles from each of our designs to find the one that you want a quote for.

We supply a wide range of porch styles all across the UK.
Our Prices
All of our porch kits are individually priced, depending on what a customer wants to see in the design theyâve built once theyâre finished, or what they want to use the space created for. To give an example, you can expect a small front porch canopy thatâs purely for decoration to cost less than a large lean-to porch that will provide the perfect cover for seating, or act as a storage area for bikes and other items.
We understand that this could impact on your budget, so we will work closely with you to calculate the cost of any features you want to see in your finished installation. This means youâll only ever pay for the design elements youâve chosen, making the price as unique as your porch will be once youâve put it together.
We are also happy to say that we are a price competitive firm, so if you should find an online service that provides porch kits of a similar quality but at a cheaper price, let us know. Weâll do everything we can to match or beat the price theyâve offered.
