Handmade in Devon

The saying goes that “anyone who loves the law or sausages should never watch either being made”.

The allusion?  That you wouldn’t love them quite so much if you saw the creation process.

With our timber garden buildings, we’ve found the complete opposite.

Not only are people generally pretty interested in the process, they’re often surprised by how much time, effort and craftmanship goes into it.

And in a world where so much is mass produced and made ready assembled many thousands of miles away, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Shields Buildings are handmade right here, in North Tawton Devon, and if you’d like to see the process we go through from scratch to create a building in the workshop, you’re in luck.
