Why Do I Need a Lean to Porch?
Porches are beautiful structures that can transform the look of your entrance and welcome guests to your home like nothing else. Porches also have the practical benefit of providing shelter and storage when they’re larger. But what exactly are lean-to porches?
Lean-to porches can be frame or wall-mounted and have a roof that slopes forward away from the wall, giving it the leaning appearance and name. This kind of roof is also referred to as ‘mono-pitch’.

Our Oak Frame Quality Assurance
We are at the forefront of timber construction because of our superior manufacturing processes. Our passionate carpenters are some of the most skilled in the business and come with years of experience in timber craftsmanship.
Why buy your lean to oak porch kit from us? Here are five reasons why we’re the leading providers:
Our commitment to sustainability
The species of oak we use, Quercus Robur and Quercus Petraea, are renowned for their sustainability. They grow straight and tall and produce exceptional timbers so more can be used in the construction process and less is wasted. As well as this, three saplings are planted for every tree felled for our oak construction purposes.
Our timber grading process is unbeatable
When the timbers we have ordered arrive in our workshop, they go through our visual check and grading system. Our highly trained graders complete these checks with rigorous attention to detail so that your lean to porch kit has impeccable structural integrity. Any timbers that can’t be used will be responsibly recycled.
Our precision cuts make for easy assembly
We use machines at the forefront of technological innovation that produces only the most precise cuts. These machines are calibrated constantly throughout the process. The precise cuts that these machines produce create timbers that fit into place seamlessly when you come to assemble your kit, meaning it takes you less time and less effort.
Our products bear the prestigious Q-Mark
We are incredibly proud to be one of the only oak trading companies in the UK that supply products bearing the Q-Mark. With this, you can be assured that the oak framed porch kit you buy from us is industry-recognised and made to the highest standards.
Our prices are competitive
Because so much of the Quercus oak tree species can be used in construction, the material costs are brought down. This means that our prices are very competitive, especially when considering the quality of our kits and their ease of assembly.
