Orchard
Barn's roof is clad with 20,000 Oak shingles on Sweet Chestnut battens.
All the which were hand-cleft by Volunteers using locally sourced
trees.
The
roof project took 9 months to complete and is the work of over 70
Volunteers from
all over the globe (not all at the same time).
It was a joy to build. We love the
end result!
