Beautiful bespoke garden buildings handmade in Devon
Whether you want an office or a studio, a shed or a workshop, or a garage or carport, our expert team can help.
Timber buildings come in all shapes, sizes, styles and finishes, but not all of them are bespoke to your needs.
We offer a different service so you get exactly what you need. From sheds, studios, offices and summerhouses to garages, carports and workshops, Shields Buildings design, craft and install bespoke timber buildings to fit your space and individual requirements.
We`ve been creating and installing unique buildings throughout Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset since 1991 from our ancient farm in a valley on the edge of Dartmoor. With a wealth of experience, a skilled team and quality materials we will create your dream outdoor space for you that will stand the test of time.
Creating beautiful spaces for you
Since 1991, we’ve crafted hundreds of buildings from scratch, transforming garden spaces and delighting our customers.
Every building is unique
Each and every building we craft is built from the ground up by our team based at our farm on the edge of Dartmoor, with our decades of experience poured into each one.

Case Studies
This project started back in 2023 when a simple carport enquiry came in.
But, as often happens, other things got in the way, and it was another 12 months before the customers were ready to proceed.
As it turns out, while they were ready, it wasn’t quite plain sailing from that point on, as you’ll read below, but by working together with Shields, they got there in the end.
Mr P arrived at our display site already keen on the ZERO – our turnkey, all-inclusive garden room option.
He was able to apply his own personal touches by choosing the colours of the external cladding and internal flooring. And then all that was needed was for one of our team to visit Mr P’s property to make sure everything would work and fit in his preferred spot.
Once confirmed, Mr P could sit back and relax and wait for installation.
James and Liz wanted a garden room they could use all year round, so they could enjoy the beautiful views of the moor from the top of their garden.
The room needed to be multipurpose – cosy enough to spend time and relax in when they were alone, and big enough to entertain their grandchildren in comfort.
Being a keen motorbiker Steve was looking for a new secure garage for his pride and joy and give him somewhere to store not only his bike clothing and gardening tools but a place to retreat to for a quick workout. Having been to see the display site at Shields Buildings Steve knew that he would get the quality and attention to detail for his timber frame garage that he was looking for.
