Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters: Crafting Quality, Community, and Comfort
Nestled in the heart of Northeast Scotland, Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters is a family-run business that has become synonymous with quality craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. From our humble beginnings in the small town of Ellon during the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 lockdown, we have grown into a trusted name for creating robust, beautifully designed timber shelters that provide a haven for relaxation, connection, and enjoyment. Our story is one of resilience, community spirit, and a passion for transforming outdoor spaces into functional and inviting retreats.

Our Origins in Ellon During Lockdown
Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters was born in 2020, during the global lockdown when life as we knew it came to a standstill. In the quiet town of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, our family recognized a growing need among our neighbors and the wider community. With restrictions limiting indoor gatherings, people were yearning for safe, comfortable outdoor spaces where they could relax, entertain, and reconnect with loved ones. Gardens and backyards became sanctuaries, but many lacked the structures needed to make these spaces truly usable year-round.
As a family with a longstanding appreciation for woodworking and craftsmanship, we saw an opportunity to fill this gap. We began designing and building timber shelters that were not only functional but also built to withstand the unpredictable Scottish weather. From pergolas to bespoke gazebos and outdoor living spaces, our shelters quickly became a lifeline for customers looking to enhance their outdoor experience. What started as a small venture to meet a local need soon blossomed into a business, driven by word-of-mouth recommendations and a reputation for quality.

Locally Sourced Timber, Sustainably Crafted
At Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and supporting the local economy. All of our timber is sourced from trusted suppliers within Aberdeenshire and the surrounding regions, ensuring that we use high-quality, responsibly harvested wood that meets our rigorous standards. By keeping our supply chain local, we not only reduce our environmental footprint but also contribute to the livelihoods of local foresters and timber producers.
Our timber is carefully selected for its durability and aesthetic appeal, allowing us to create shelters that are both strong and visually striking. Whether it’s the rich grain of Scottish pine or the robust strength of larch, we ensure that every piece of wood is treated and crafted to last, providing our customers with shelters that stand the test of time. Our sustainable practices reflect our deep respect for the natural beauty of Aberdeenshire and our desire to preserve it for future generations.

A Family-Run Business with a Personal Touch
As a family-run business, Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters is built on the values of trust, integrity, and personal connection. Every shelter we create is a labor of love, reflecting the care and dedication we pour into our work. From the initial consultation to the final installation, our family is involved at every step, ensuring that each project is tailored to the unique needs and preferences of our customers.
Our small, tight-knit team brings together a wealth of skills and expertise, from design and carpentry to customer service and project management. We believe that the key to our success lies in our ability to listen to our customers and understand their vision. Whether it’s a cozy garden retreat for quiet evenings or a spacious outdoor entertaining area for family gatherings, we work closely with our clients to bring their ideas to life.

Attention to Detail and Customer Satisfaction
At the core of Aberdeenshire Timber Shelters is an unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. We believe that the difference between a good shelter and a great one lies in the details. From precision-cut joints to carefully applied weatherproof finishes, every aspect of our shelters is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Our goal is to create structures that not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations, providing them with a space that is both functional and beautiful.
We understand that investing in a timber shelter is a significant decision, which is why we prioritize open communication and transparency throughout the process. From the moment a customer reaches out to us, we take the time to understand their needs, offer expert advice, and provide detailed plans to ensure complete satisfaction. Our aftercare service is equally important, as we remain available to answer questions, provide maintenance tips, or make adjustments to ensure our shelters continue to serve our customers for years to come.

Our work has transformed countless gardens, patios, and public spaces, fostering moments of joy and connection.
As we look to the future, our mission remains the same: to craft high-quality, sustainable timber shelters that enhance the lives of our customers.
