The Sawmill

Our Sawmill is constructed  using  entirely our own timber,  from mature trees growing within 100 metres of the site. It contains our saw milling machinery, crosscut saw and four sided planer etc, kiln, dry fuel wood storage and conditioning areas, office, staff mess and other fuel-wood  machinery.

Using 12 Belfast trusses (a good bit of Victorian design) and a tensioned recycle-able polyester roof covering, we have created a unique and beautiful working environment, and a building with only a sustainable legacy to leave behind.

The sawmill is off grid, so the building design uses as much natural light as possible with localised lighting only over machines and in certain  important areas, whilst the heat from our generators is used in heating the kiln, office, and staff mess area. Different capacity generators are used for different load conditions.
