Built From Real Experience Not Just Theory
I’m Ben, a UK-based garden structure specialist and hands-on renovator.
Since launching Wood Create in 2017, I have documented real construction projects from start to finish. Every guide on this site is based on practical experience, tested construction methods, and lessons learned on genuine builds.
My experience includes:
• Construction of more than 10 fully insulated garden rooms and sheds
• Timber verandas, gazebos, raised decking areas, boardwalks, and other structural garden builds
• Certificate of Higher Education in Interior Design and Architecture
• Over 20 years of home renovation and construction experience
• More than 10 years working as a professional handyman
• Over 8 years designing and building custom furniture and joinery
Wood Create has now supported:
• More than 1.2 million site visitors
• Over 6,000 monthly readers
• More than 480 premium garden building plan sales
I don’t publish theory or generic tutorials. Every project is built, photographed, tested, and refined before it becomes a guide. That means real framing details, insulation strategies, cost considerations, and honest insight into what works in UK conditions.
If you are investing time and money into a build, you deserve guidance from someone who has actually done it. See some samples of my work to the right/below.
That is exactly what Wood Create is here to provide.
