A Wooden Shelter For Wakehurst

The extensive oak boardwalk we are building at Wakehurst for Kew Royal Botanical Gardens is one step closer to completion. We are now laying decking across the site and have almost completed a wooden shelter with a cedar shingle roof. Below are the latest updates from the project. You can see update one here and update two here.

The Wooden Shelter

This wooden shelter has a cedar shingle roof and will allow visitors to stay protected from the elements in this area of the boardwalk.

Some sections are still incomplete, but will be finished soon

We’ll keep posting more updates as this project progresses. In the meantime, take a look at our boardwalks, wooden structures, and raised wetland boardwalks for more ideas of what we are capable of making. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you wish to commission your own boardwalk.
