Outdoor carpentry in Southampton

Built on proper groundwork

We build decking, pergolas, fencing, gates, screens and garden stores for homes across Southampton and south Hampshire. Everything starts with proper groundwork and posts set correctly, because outdoor timber lives or dies on the structure underneath — not just the boards on top.

We work in treated softwood, hardwood and composite depending on budget, look and how exposed the spot is. For coastal and riverside gardens around Hamble, Warsash and Woolston we'll steer you towards finishes that cope with salt and damp, and we'll tell you honestly if a project needs anything beyond standard permitted development before we start.

Common questions

Outdoor carpentry FAQs

Composite or timber decking — which is better?

Timber is cheaper up front and looks natural; composite costs more but barely needs maintenance and won't splinter or grey off. We fit both and will talk you through the trade-offs for your garden and budget.

Do you handle the groundwork and foundations?

Yes. We set posts, level and prepare the base properly — that's what stops decking and pergolas moving or sagging later.

Will outdoor timber last in our weather?

With the right timber, fixings and detailing it lasts for years. We use stainless or coated fixings and detail joints to drain and breathe, which matters near the water around Hamble and Warsash.

Do I need planning permission for decking or a pergola?

Most domestic decking and pergolas fall under permitted development, but there are limits on height and coverage. We'll flag anything that might need permission before we begin.
