The trailer was driven to the site, the bogey removed, and then the bogey used to transport all of the timber frames (which were prefabricated in a workshop) to site.

The building is insulated with scavenged insulation, the doors were sourced from a skip, and the roof lights were ?damaged? and thus trade ?seconds?. Photography: Piers Taylor
The timber used is all ?same section? 125 x 50mm that made the milling much more economical and is laminated up into structural sections for the cross frames as required. It is the first ?same section? building we have completed (the first being Ghost Barn (Equivalent #1). This method of using timber ...
