Our Oak Framed Porches
Every oak porch from Character Oak is handcrafted to your design.
We’ve chosen a few of the porches we’ve designed, made and raised to give you an idea of designs and pricing; there’s also a breakdown of what’s included with each of the porches below.
The price given for each design is with a footprint of 3M2 and a height of 3m, which is the maximum allowed under permitted development. For example:
• Base width (outside of post to outside of post): 2m
• Depth (outside of post to house wall): 1.5m
• Overall height (from floor level): 3m
However, we can design and make your porch to any size or style to suit you.
Size: You can choose any width between 1.2m and 3.0m and any depth between 1.2m and 3.0m
Roof Pitch: You can choose a roof Pitch between 30o and 50o
Please Note: the height of your porch depends on the pitch and width
Oak Thickness: You can choose either 150mm (6”) or 200mm (8”) oak
Sarking Boards: These sit on your rafters, so you’ll see timber rather than your tiles or shingles when you look up. You can choose to have none, larch, cedar or oak.
