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

Railway Carriage Delivery

The Railway carriage based hut is ready for delivery. 

We had to wait for the ground around where the carriage was going to be prepared and then for it to dry out.

We enlisted the help of a local tractor to help get it into the final place (no pictures of this)

Two sets of steps for the two doors. And the bumper details.

The ground around the site will recover quickly.

Solar panel mounted to the back of the carriage.

 

This Railway Carriage hut is for the customer's own use as a place to spend a couple of nights up in the field. And as just a warm place to go when tending to their horses. 

The first one we did will, hopefully, be available to stay in 2021.
