A porch is an example of that very rare combination: style and practicality. It can provide extra storage for items such as bikes, boots, coats and bags that would otherwise clutter a hallway, act as a useful shelter from the rain, or offer the perfect place for couriers to leave those all-important Amazon packages. But as well as being functional, tailor-made oak porches are also majestic and beautiful. Your porch is a metaphorical entrance to your home as well as a literal one, and can say a lot about you and your style.
Oak porches come in many shapes, sizes and styles and as they will be the first place people step into when they visit your home, it’s vital that you choose the design and variety that delivers the first impression you want to make. From beautiful bespoke, tailor made oak porches to simple, stress-free oak frame porch kits, there plenty of options available. Here is our guide to how to make a stylish entrance and some examples of pretty oak porches that will be sure to ignite your imagination.
We offer a variety of designs for oak porches, or we can use your own sketches
With over 30 years’ experience in designing and building oak porches, we have a huge range of oak porch designs for you to choose from. You can also sketch your own designs, bring us drawings from your architect or come to us with a rough idea and we’ll create your dream oak porch together.
Our oak porches are designed and made as kits: we provide the full oak frame which your contractor or builder can then install. We also give you all the pre-cut joints and components, including any bespoke hand-crafted finishes.

There is a lot to consider when choosing the best oak porch style for your home. Firstly, do you want an enclosed porch, which is a good option if you’ll be storing lots of equipment or items, or an open porch, which still provides shelter but also allows access for deliveries. Open porches are also easier and quicker to install, so can be assembled by DIY lovers rather than needing to hire specialists.
