Custom Exterior Carpentry
Your garden may need more than a standard shed or a piece of furniture chosen from a fixed range. We provide exterior carpentry designed around the dimensions of your outdoor space, what you need to store, and how you want to use the finished project.
Whether you want a timber garden building, practical storage, fitted seating or a one-off piece of outdoor furniture, we design the project before the timber is cut. We work with you on the size, layout, materials and finish so the result suits your garden and its intended use.

What Can We Make with Exterior Carpentry?
We can design and build individual pieces or larger structures for different parts of your garden. The exact design depends on your available space and what you want the project to do.
Your project could include:
- Timber garden buildings for storage, hobbies or a garden workspace
- Made-to-measure garden sheds with doors, windows and internal storage
- Outdoor cupboards, cabinets and storage chests
- Raised decking, timber steps and fitted bench seating
- Garden tables, workbenches and other freestanding furniture
- Playhouses and other one-off timber projects
Every piece of our exterior carpentry is planned for its setting rather than adapted from a standard product. This type of outdoor carpentry also allows you to combine more than one function, such as storage with a work surface or decking with built-in seating.
How Do We Design Around Your Outdoor Space?
We begin by discussing how you use your garden and what you need from the finished work. We then consider the dimensions, access, nearby boundaries and the position of existing doors, windows or paths.
If your space has an unusual corner, changing ground levels or a restricted footprint, we can plan the shape and access around those conditions. You can also tell us which items need to fit inside, whether you need wide doors for larger equipment, and where shelves or work surfaces would be most useful.
Before a piece of wood is cut, we agree the main proportions, layout, materials and visible details with you. This gives you the opportunity to shape how the project will look and work before construction begins.
What Can You Include in a Timber Garden Building?
Timber garden buildings can be planned for general storage, a workshop, hobbies, or a usable garden workspace. Your building does not need to follow a standard catalogue size, and the doors and windows can be positioned around your access and available light.
Depending on the purpose of the building, your design could include:
- Single, double or glazed sliding doors
- Windows positioned for light and visibility
- Internal shelves, cupboards or a workbench
- Insulation and internal lining where required
- External timber cladding
- Separate sections for different types of storage
These choices allow bespoke garden sheds and other timber structures to be designed around what you will actually keep or do inside them. We can also coordinate the external appearance with other timber features in your garden.
How Can Made-to-Measure Garden Sheds Improve Your Storage?
Made-to-measure garden sheds give you control over the width, depth, height, and access points. This can be helpful when a standard shed would leave unused space, block a path, or place the doors on the wrong side.
We can design a compact tool store, a larger workshop shed, or a divided structure for different items. Your custom garden shed can include shelves, cupboards, a work surface, windows, or more than one entrance. We plan the internal arrangement with you so that frequently used items remain easy to reach.
What Outdoor Storage and Furniture Can We Make?
Not every outdoor project needs to be a complete building. We can make enclosed cupboards, storage chests and cabinets for tools, garden equipment, cushions and other items that you want to keep together. The size and door arrangement can be planned around both the available space and the contents.
We can also build fitted bench seating, timber steps, garden tables and workbenches. If you need a movable piece, our approach to Custom Freestanding Furniture can be adapted to the outdoor setting. Unusual requests can also be discussed as Special Carpentry Projects.
What Materials and Finishes Work Outdoors?
For exterior carpentry, the material and finish need to suit the location, the level of exposure, and how you intend to use the piece. We discuss these points with you before recommending the construction and finish.
Your project may combine timber framing, external cladding, painted sections, glazed doors and exterior hardware. Timber can be finished to retain a natural appearance or painted to coordinate with your home and garden. We will also explain the care required for the chosen finish, so you know how to look after it.
Why Choose Custom Exterior Carpentry?
A custom project is designed for the space you have instead of forcing you to work around preset dimensions. You can decide where the doors, windows, shelves, seating, and storage sections should go, as well as how the finished piece should look.
This approach is useful when your garden has an awkward layout or when one structure needs to serve several purposes. It also allows the proportions and visible details to work with your home, fencing, decking, or other garden features.
Because we design and do the work for you, we can discuss practical details early and keep the whole project focused on how you will use it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you only build garden sheds?
No. We can build garden buildings, outdoor cupboards, storage chests, decking features, steps, seating, tables, workbenches and one-off timber projects. We will discuss whether a building, fitted piece or freestanding item is the best match for your space.
Can you make something for an unusual space?
Yes. We design each project around its position and dimensions. This allows us to work with narrow areas, irregular corners, and places where standard outdoor products do not fit properly.
Can a garden building include windows, wide doors and insulation?
Yes. We can plan windows, different door arrangements, insulation, and internal lining when they suit the intended use. We will agree these features with you as part of the design.
Do you make both fitted and freestanding outdoor furniture?
Yes. We can create fitted pieces such as built-in bench seating as well as movable tables, workbenches, and storage. The right option depends on how you use the area and whether you may want to reposition the furniture.
How much does a custom outdoor project cost?
The cost depends on the dimensions, materials, construction, access, internal features and finish. We will provide a quotation after discussing what you need and the proposed design.
