Oak Framed Swimming Pool Building

Why Choose an Oak Framed Swimming Pool Building from Timberpride?

With over 30 years experience, we understand how to bring out the best in British oak. From milling the oak in-house to carefully shaping and joining each beam by hand, every stage of your frame’s creation is guided by the skill and precision of our artisans.

Our skilled carpenters work directly with the oak, carefully examining the grain and natural features before hand scribing joints with millimetre accuracy throughout the process of creating your frame. This approach ensures that your pool building will be structurally sound and last for generations.

Our dedication to quality is reflected further in the certifications we hold, including UKCA Marking, Q Mark and Visual Strength Grading for Hardwoods certifications from Exova BM TRADA.

Expertise in Oak Swimming Pool Buildings

Our expertise begins long before the first cut is made, starting with the careful sourcing of British oak from sustainably managed woodlands. Drawing on our deep understanding of oak’s unique characteristics, we select timber that not only meets our high standards but is perfectly suited to each project.

With years of working closely with this remarkable material, we have the specialist knowledge to anticipate how each beam will behave. Rather than forcing the wood against its natural tendencies, we work with its strengths, embracing its unique characteristics.

Timberpride offers a dedicated design service, creating fully bespoke plans for oak framed swimming pool buildings—whether you need a structure to cover your pool complete with changing rooms or a beautifully crafted building to complement your outdoor pool.

Our expert team carefully considers every aspect, from how the oak will naturally settle over time to how light and space interact within the building. Each oak framed pool house is approached as a unique creation, designed to reflect the specific needs, style, and setting of every client.

Extras to consider when installing an oak frame with us

What is fixed face glazing?

We glaze our Oak frames using air-dried English oak cover boards to clamp glass in place, forming a weathertight seal by compressing closed cell memory foam between the oak and the glass. The method allows the timber to flex slightly, enabling it to move up to 6mm without causing any bending stress on the glass.

The benefit of this glazing method is the complete coverage of the internal mortise and tenon joints, shielding them from outside weather conditions.

Planning Permission for Oak Pool Houses

Planning permission for an oak pool building is often more straightforward than you think. In many cases, these structures fall under permitted development, meaning full planning approval isn’t required—we can advise you on whether your project qualifies and what steps to take to ensure compliance.

If planning permission is needed, we work with trusted planning consultants. They can provide expert guidance and assist with applications, making the process as smooth as possible.

Bringing Oak Outbuildings to Life: Case Study

A client wanted a beautiful, shaded space beside their pool—something bespoke, elegant, and integrated into their surroundings. They envisaged an octagonal oak-framed outbuilding and turned to Timberpride to bring it to life.

Through close collaboration, our team worked with the client to transform their ideas into a fully bespoke design. We refined the concept into a striking 8-metre span structure, centred around a meticulously crafted green oak ceiling boss.

Crafted with precision and care, this project showcases our artisans’ ability to transform concepts into spectacular oak structures.
