These Green Oak Boards are versatile and can be used to make fascia boards, barge boards and soffits. We offer a wide range of widths and lengths to ensure you can find the right-sized board to fit your project.
Fascia boards, barge boards, and soffit boards are all types of trim used on a house’s exterior. They each serve different purposes. For more information see the tabs below. These are a way of supplying an oak finish without the high cost of air-dried timber.
Please note we supply them square-ended for the customer to do the final cut/angle.
Board thickness: 25mm.
What are Fascia Boards?
The fascia of a roof is the trim board that runs horizontally along the outer edge of a roofline, and normally has guttering attached to it. When there is a gap, known as a closed eave, the edge of the roof needs a soffit to protect the roof and help carry the gutters.
What are Soffit Boards?
Soffit boards are a type of trim that is used on the soffit of a roof. The soffit of a roof is the area beneath the eaves and overhangs on the exterior walls of a house. The purpose of a soffit is to protect the eaves from weather damage.
What are Barge Boards?
Barge boards are an important feature of any exterior structure, designed to provide added protection and strength to the gable edge of a roof. They are usually shaped in an inverted ‘V’ and attached below the roof verge, providing an elegant and refined aesthetic. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, barge boards can help to protect the exposed materials from rainwater runoff and other potential damage caused by severe weather conditions. Barge boards are essential for many properties as they provide a reliable source of support for guttering systems while enhancing the overall look of a building.

As Oak dries out over time, it can develop cracks and splits known as shakes. These tiny cracks run along the grain of the wood, which means that they do not affect its structural integrity. This cracking process happens faster in warmer weather, as the sun and wind speed up the drying process and can even cause shakes to form on recently cut green oak. As such, these should not be seen as faults, as it is a natural process. It is possible to reduce cracking in green oak by adding wood oil for protection.
One of the main reasons for posts to rot is the constant wetting and drying of the post. To help extend the life of the post, you can slope the soil or concrete the post is set in so that water doesn't gather at the base of the post. Sealing the post with oil at the level it goes in the ground also helps extend the life as it reduces the moisture absorption into the post.
Green Oak or Fresh Sawn Oak is a type of timber that is cut fresh from the log. This material ranges in colour from pale pink to honey-hued, and over time weathers to a light grey.
This type of oak can be used to create frames that are long-lasting, typically lasting more than 100 years. Green Oak also has a much smaller carbon footprint than most other building materials, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Thanks to careful forest management practices such as those outlined by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), new Oak trees are able to be grown alongside existing trees in a way that ensures healthy forests for years to come, making Oak a renewable building material.

We plane fresh sawn oak( green oak) ex inch. This means we plane it as thick as it will go, ensuring a smooth finish. It means it will be under the size of the original beam, but smooth all over. Generally planing takes 4-6 mm off the thickness of a piece. For this we use a hand plane. There are two main reasons. The first being that fresh sawn oak has tanins which react with metal creating a blue stain which is unsightly. The second is that that beams are heavy and difficult to handle through a thicknesser. Fresh sawn oak tends to get stuck through a thicknesser which creates white marks and even burn marks.
