Accessories

Oak Designs offer a range of accessories and upgrades for your Acorn Garage or Outdoor Living Building. This is to give you as much flexibility as possible in designing the perfect building for you. If you would like extra doors or perhaps the addition of a window, please see below for the available accessories and upgrade options.

Planning Pack

If you wish to submit your own planning application we can provide AutoCAD technical drawings which include scaled plans and elevations for your selected Oak Designs building for you to submit with your application. Our planning drawings start from as little as £99+VAT, this charge is refundable against the final invoice on your order.

If you require further assistance with your planning please do not hesitate to contact our sales team or in-house surveyors.

ODC Facing Bricks

Our bricks are specially manufactured to a width that fits flush to the soleplate which sits above the bricks this gives more space within the building. Our ODC facing bricks are an attractive reddish blue in colour and can be supplied to you by a pallet delivery process ahead of receiving your oak frame. This allows groundworks to be constructed by us or your contractor prior to receiving the oak frame on site.

There are many benefits and hidden cost savings if you choose our ODC facing bricks, please call our sales team for further details.

Larch Weatherboard

Larch weatherboard starts off with a red/pink hue but silvers similar to softwood and oak as it ages over time, a bit like us!

Larch is a superb cladding/weatherboard material as like oak it can be left it doesn't require maintenance or treating every few years. It is also a much lower cost material than oak weatherboarding and ideal if your trying to keep your project to a strict budget. 

Staddle Stones

This is the stone that sits underneath any independent oak posts to raise them up from damp and rain. The stones are designed to fit perfectly with the oak post. Staddle stones are included in the timber kit for each Acorn Garage design, however if you wish to buy additional stones please let our sales team know when you are placing your order.

Mullion Window

Our garages can also come with windows. If you are adapting one of your bays into an office, home gym or perhaps a workshop, you may want to benefit from some natural light. As with all of our ‘made to order’ joinery, the mullion window is available in softwood, idigbo, iroko or oak, with a fixed glass pane set behind turned vertical mullions, this character window will enhance any building design.

Personnel Door

 The standard personnel door is frame and ledged with v-jointed vertical boards. It includes a door frame and black ironmongery to fit on site. The personnel door comes in the option of Oak, Idigbo, Iroko or softwood. Please refer to our Material Specification page for wood treatment protection that we would advise on applying.

Garage Doors

All of our Joinery is hand made here in the UK. Our garage doors are made to order and  can be sized to suit. Standard sized garage doors are for bay widths of either 2.6m or 2.9m wide between posts. Our garage doors come in a choice of either softwood, iroko, idigbo or oak.

If you are ordering a Garage or oak frame building from us and would like additional doors then please let let us know during the ordering process and these can be supplied with your frame. 

We do include iron mongery to go with the doors and windows  within the joinery element of our quote. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to ask.

Full Length French Doors & Windows

The Oak Designs Co. custom hand made double glazed full length french doors and windows are available in softwood, oak iroko & idigbo. These high quality windows & doors are robust, secure yet still have have great thermal properties. With full length wooden french doors and windows not only do they look stunning but they allow a huge amount of natural light into your property but also offer a great way of opening a space out onto your garden with regards to access and views.

Partitions

Partitions are a great addition when wanting to create different spaces within a building and allow it to be used for multiple purposes. They are also necessary to create a secure seperate space with a pair of doors. Our Partitions are supplied as a kit with clear treated softwood studwork to one side and weatherboard to the other.

Green Oak Weatherboard

This is an upgrade from softwood or larch alternative. Oak weatherboard is supplied as a square edge of profile 200mm x 20mm sawn green oak and will eventually change to a silver patina colour as the building naturally weathers and ages as you can see in the photo. Our Oak weatherboard is supplied with stainless steel nails and oak stop ends.

Oak Sole Plate

All our Acorn standard buildings are supplied with a softwood clear treated soleplate. A soleplate is the timber plate that sits on the brick plinth. If you wish to upgrade this we can supply an oak soleplate which is a more superior durable material. If you are choosing sawn oak weatherboarding we would particularly recommend this upgrade.

Dormer Windows

If your thinking of putting in a first floor, dormer windows are are a great idea not only do they let a lot more natural light into the building but they can help open up the space in your roof  which is ideal in small living areas aswell as giving more options for furniture within your room layout. Putting a dormer window into your roof also helps with ventilation and creates an area of commanding views out onto your property.

Velux Roof Lights
