About Me

We are a small family run business located on the Powis Shropshire border. We have been building 'stuff' for over 20 years. Builds range from narrow boats to our family home. We can build great garden structures, including Shepherds huts, Showmans wagons and Caravans, that make great alternatives to the traditional shed. They can be an alternative office, a spare bedroom, an adult wendy house, a potting shed, a bird hide, an attractive addition to a campsite for the new glamping craze, an alternative workshop a home cinema, or even a roadside tea wagon. Will consider building anything really, so ask away! Email davestilthouse@googlemail.com Phone: 01588 620132

Back to Shepherd's Huts


This shepherd's hut has been built for a customer who placed it earlier in the year. We had all of the materials in ready just before the start of the lock down and have found that having this hut to work on means that it almost feels normal at the moment.



Although we are running down on some materials, we have found that we had had enough to finish this hut and are now practically ready to deliver it.

Like most of our standard huts it has double glazed windows, an engineered oak floor, stable door and is fully insulated all round. It comes with a set of steps, turning axle and A-frame. This one is fitted with 12v electrics; including a leisure battery, LED down lights and an outside lamp. There is a multi fuel stove and a small kitchenette unit as well.

We're hoping that we can get the hut to its resting place sooner rather than later, however we are also aware that precautions need to be taken. We are a father and son, who are practising social distancing while also getting on with some projects to just keep going until we run out of materials. Some of our suppliers seem to be able to send some things out, which is also helping.
