Oak Garages
Our oak garages combine traditional craftsmanship with modern durability. Each frame uses mortise and tenon joints, hand-curved beams, and knee braces for structural integrity. Designed to enhance property value, these garages feature open-span roofs for an elegant interior finish.
Extrawide Garages
The Extrawide range offers exceptional bay widths for larger vehicles. This design allows easier access and full door opening on both sides, maintaining the same high-quality oak construction and traditional detailing as standard garages.
Accommodation Barns
Classic Hideaway frames incorporate external staircases leading to rooms above garages. These adaptable spaces suit home offices, gyms, or guest areas, combining functional design with the durability and aesthetic of oak-framed construction.
Handmade Joinery
We produce bespoke joinery using traditional techniques. Each component, from beams to braces, is handcrafted to ensure precision and longevity, reflecting our commitment to quality and attention to detail in every structure.
Frame Supply Kit
Our frame supply kits provide pre-cut oak components for self-assembly. Designed for accuracy and ease of installation, these kits maintain the same structural integrity and aesthetic appeal as fully installed garages.

From the first interview to the final setup, the entire team was fantastic. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to my questions. I'm thrilled with my new studio outbuilding; it adds a unique touch to our home. Highly recommended!

From the first meeting, we could not fault the team for their client service, responsiveness and attention to detail. They really cared about getting it right and working within our budget. The quality of the finished barn is excellent. Having researched the market before we built ours, The Classic Barn Company are definitely up there with the best them in the barn market.

From start to finish, the service was friendly and professional. My self-build barn was a 2 bay, single storey garage with workshop, which was modified to suit my site dimensions. Delivery of the frame was to suit my initially uncertain programme, but through regular communication, this was timely delivered. The materials were very accurately cut (only 2 slight errors of about 5mm were noted) and consequently, with the easy to follow drawings, the frame was straightforward and quick to erect.
The timber sections were substantial and of good quality, with the overall result aesthetically very pleasing and more than meeting my expectations. One error with a corner detail, which occurred as a result of a dimensional modification to the standard configuration, was quickly addressed without issue or delay. As a self build this was a very satisfying project (particularly as I am a civil engineer) and I am very pleased and proud of the outcome. I would certainly recommend The Classic Barn Company to anyone considering erecting a quality oak frame barn.

I was exceptionally pleased with the service provided by the team, from start to finish nothing has been too much trouble and the quality is everything I had hoped for. I knew from the start what I wanted to achieve and Classic Barns have made it a reality. As a self builder Classic Barns have helped me through every stage. I have had many comments from friends and passers by on how lovely the project looks and what lovely detailing. I would not hesitate to recommend Classic Barns to anyone.

Fantastic craftsmanship - our oak car port looks beautiful and we've had lots of compliments about it. The actual assembly of the car port was extremely quick and the team were very professional. I would highly recommend this product and the company.
