Services
Log Cabins
Interlocking log cabins use precision-machined timber boards in five thickness options. Our designs provide structural strength with natural insulation properties. Each cabin features pre-cut components for seamless assembly and customisation options including windows, doors, and partition walls. Clients receive detailed installation guides or choose our professional assembly service.
Summerhouses
Tongue-and-groove timber summerhouses offer versatile garden living spaces. Available in multiple sizes with standard apex or pent roof designs, these structures accommodate custom configurations. We recommend pressure-treated bearers for foundation stability and provide treatment guidance to maximise warranty eligibility and longevity.
Playhouses
BS EN 71-certified playhouses combine safety and durability through rigorous construction standards. Features include rounded edges, non-toxic materials, and reinforced structural elements. Our designs balance child-friendly aesthetics with practical considerations for weather resistance and long-term use.
Garden Sheds
Overlap and tongue-and-groove sheds provide weather-resistant storage solutions. Pre-fabricated panels enable efficient assembly while maintaining dimensional stability. We offer optional pressure-treated flooring and provide comprehensive guidance for base preparation and maintenance procedures.
Arbours
Crafted timber arbours create decorative garden focal points with functional seating areas. Open-framed designs support climbing plants while maintaining structural integrity through reinforced joinery. Clients receive installation instructions for both ground-fixed and free-standing configurations.

Ordered the Shire Pixie Playhouse and was not disappointed in any way. The ordering process was very easy and we were able to pick our day of delivery. The tracking provided was spot on as we could see where the vehicle was at all times so we were able to continue with our day until he was on his way to us.
Taking Delivery was easy. All the items required were present and in good quality. It was very easy to paint and the assembly went very smooth as there are very clear instructions. If I could add pictures to this review I would as we, and the kids, are extremely happy with the playhouse

Avoid this company! My wife purchased a summerhouse off th many weeks ago and arranged delivery for for the 27th August. We have had messages the week up to the date week confirming the delivery. So we booked time off work paid a deposit on a builder to make it for us. We then got a text at 14.20 saying they cannot make delivery. So we called customer services and were first the driver had ran out of legal driving hours then after been on hold she came back and told us he needed to get tyres ! So at least get the story straight! We were told Saturday was a possibility and they will call us

I read lots of reviews about this shed before purchasing and can honestly say we had no issues constructing it. We have still to finish the painting but are pleased with it so far. A great buy for the budget we had. The delivery driver was really helpful too.

Poor quality wood.. paid over 900 for a 8ft x 8ft Barclay corner unit and my joiner says that the wood & manufacture of product is of a very poor low level. Having a nightmare to assemble due to warped timber and split boards .. my recommendation is to NOT buy these products as are of poor quality..

We purchased a Barclay Summer house and waiting a long time for delivery. When chased by email they sent a text with a delivery date. It arrived. When assembly commenced we discovered that two left hand panels had been delivered. Assembly stopped. We tried contacting them by email and on-line chat but no response. After numerous attempts to phone we eventually spoke to a person who arrange for a replacement panel to be delivered by FedEx. This would take a week. It took 9 days. The panel delivered did not have a window frame fitted. Again we emailed and telephoned but got no response. I removed
