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

Building in situ part 3

Last week we did our final day onsite for this Shepherd's hut. Despite the lock down and its effects on our supplies, the customer and ourselves are happy with the end result. 


What you see as you come to the Shepherd's hut.

Random patterned tiled Hearth 

Roof detail and folding bed

Drop table and Trampoline.

Bare Cedar exterior which will age over time and Stained stable door.

we find it best to deliver our Shepherd's huts whole when we can. It means that we are not on-site for very long and our customers can enjoy their hut in peace sooner. However when we do need to build onsite we strive to deliver the same quality of finish.
