Green oak porch,Lichfield
A curved high beam and jowled posts, raised and fitted in one day.
What did we build?
A green oak porch for a home in Lichfield, with a curved high beam carried on jowled posts.
What stands out about this one is the time on site. Because the frame was cut and prepared in advance, the whole porch was fitted in a single day: the customer went from a bare doorway in the morning to a finished oak entrance by the evening.
Green oak is the traditional material for an open porch. It will season in place over the next few years and settle to a soft silver if it is left untreated.
