How custom work goes

  1. Send your sizes, a sketch or a photo on the quote form.
  2. We reply within one business day with a price and a dimensioned drawing.
  3. A deposit or design fee starts the work. Nothing is cut until you approve the proof.

How to pick a size: nominal timber sizes are bigger than actual. A 4x4 is usually 3.5", a 6x6 5.5" and an 8x8 7.5". Measure yours.
