Stacked-timber garden planters, made one at a time in a small workshop near Mold. Honest timber, interlocking joinery, no shortcuts.
"I wanted to make something you'd still be glad you bought in ten years. Something the garden grows around."
HEWN is a one-person workshop. Each planter is built from pressure-treated structural timber — the kind of wood you'd use to frame a house, not cladding stapled together — joined at the corners with hand-cut interlocking notches that lock the whole structure together without visible fixings on the faces.
No flat-packs. No laminated MDF with a timber veneer. Just proper wood, cut, notched, and stacked in the way fence posts and log cabins have been built for centuries.
Every piece is finished with the HEWN mark burned into the corner — a small promise that if something ever goes wrong, you know exactly where it came from.
A rectangular trough planter, 1200mm long by 450mm deep, built from three courses of 6×2" pressure-treated softwood. The corners are hand-notched so each course locks into the next — no exposed screws on the visible faces. A slatted floor sits on a membrane liner, so it drains properly and the timber breathes.
Every planter photographed before it leaves — the same piece, different angles. What you see is what arrives.
Built from 6×2" pressure-treated structural timber. The stuff that holds up roofs. It's heavier, it's more expensive, and it lasts.
Corners are hand-notched so each course locks into the next. No exposed fixings on the faces. This is what takes the time — and it's what makes it last.
I build it, I deliver it, I place it where you want it. Cheshire, Chester, and across North Wales. No assembly instructions in seven languages.
