The Timber
Why it lasts out there
I build only in heavy-duty tanalised timber — pressure-treated so the protection runs right through the wood, not just across the surface. That's what stands up to Cornish rain, salt air and frost, season after season.
- 01
Pressure-treated through
Resists rot, fungal decay and insect attack from the inside out.
- 02
Built to last decades
Looked after, these pieces are made to be handed on.
- 03
Honest, heavy stock
Generous timber sections and solid joints — it feels substantial because it is.
The Maker · James Turpin
"It started in lockdown with a table for our own garden. People asked who built it — and Turps Wood Design grew from there."
I come from a product-design background and a family of woodworkers. These days I build every piece myself, by hand, in my workshop in Lostwithiel — no production line, no middlemen. Just me, the timber, and a piece made for one garden at a time.
— James

In Their Words
Trusted across Cornwall
"Ordered within a week and received a workshop, log store and full deck materials — delivered and installed on time. The quality is far better than sheds costing twice as much."
"A shed for the back garden — very pleased. Good materials and great service from James throughout."
"Bought a log store as a gift and I'm delighted — beautiful finish and quick delivery. James was very professional throughout."
