Built to last, without treatment or chemicals
We have specialised in round pole timber framing for over 20 years and have developed our own unique machinery and innovative manufacturing techniques.
This means we can supply you with a beautiful and inspiring structure which will stand the test of time. Thanks to our custom manufacturing process, our frames enjoy the natural appearance and strength of the wood paired with millimetre-precision jointing.
By showing off the natural and irregular form of round timber alongside this precise, technical construction method, our frames make truly inspiring structures, built to last.
Guaranteed
All Roundwood Design frames are guaranteed against rot for 15 years.
With careful detailing and weather protection, we ensure our frames last without the need for chemicals and preservatives.
Detailing, Done Right
Drawing on our technical capabilities developed over 20+ years, we always design for longevity.
Careful detailing means we can confidently use local Douglas Fir or Larch for all our roundwood frames, without the need for chemical treatments.
For example, covering and capping with 50-year EPDM rubber ensures rainwater is shed reliably, leaving dry and protected timber which will not rot.
See the Roundwood Play Products page to see how we ensure longevity at ground level without the use of large concrete foundations.
All backed by a 15-year guarantee on our frames.
Engineered for Safety
In-house Structural Engineering expertise, and separate sign-off by an external Chartered Engineer, give you the peace of mind you need.
All Roundwood Play products conform to BS EN 1176 & 1177: 2008 standards, and are independently tested by The Play Inspection Company.
Precision Manufacturing
Our unique jigs, developed in-house by Roundwood Design, ensure precise, accurate manufacturing of our round wood frames every time.
Faster and more efficient than traditional methods, they allow us to offer you a very cost-effective price.
