Border Oak Porches
The renowned Border Oak porch was first crafted for Ben and Merry’s iconic 21st Century Cottage, which gained recognition when it was featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs back in 2001. Forming the perfect entrance to almost any house, it provides shelter as well as architectural interest. We have a wide range of porch kits available – each bearing the same Border Oak trademark of craftsmanship and quality.
All of our porches are handmade in our Herefordshire workshops. They are much imitated but, in our humble opinion, no one else ever gets it quite right.
Vernacular proportions with every detail considered
Designed by Merry’s father, John Greene, our original porch design was inspired by the lychgate of the church where the (then!) young couple had married. With its trademark curved tiebeam, bullnosed wallplates and mullioned side pieces it proved so popular (across the world!) that we decided it would work perfectly as a Self-Assembly Kit, and so the Border Oak Porch was born.
Border Oak Porch Kit
Our range of porches incorporate different styles and sizes – from a giant entry porch to a simple canopy. The design quality, attention to detail, standard of materials and level of craftsmanship is consistent whichever design you choose.
Our porches come as Self-Assembly kits complete with drawings and instructions. We aim to deliver within 10-12 weeks. We always try to hold some designs in stock, so do get in touch for more information and to find out timescales for your project.
