The Triton team is
always interested in talking to both woodworking enthusiasts and professionals
alike, and the one thing they have in common with us is a passion for
engineered precision.
We recently visited Blackdown Shepherd Huts, a rapidly-growing
artisan business based in South Somerset, England. The original shepherd huts have been around
for hundreds of years, and were built as temporary shelters for shepherds to
use whilst away tending the flock. Made from a variety of materials, local skills
were utilised to build basic shelters and sleeping accommodation.
These basic farmers’ shelters are now being reproduced to
the highest quality standards with modern luxury and comfort. Fitted out with a compact modern bathroom and
kitchen, the huts can be used as a home office, or even a luxury sauna or
holiday let - the options are seemingly endless.
Quality construction starts from the bottom up, with locally-forged
iron wheels and a robust oak frame chassis - hand-finished with Danish oil to
an exceptional standard. All of the
materials are locally sourced, which together with the appropriate sheep’s wool
insulation, help keep the environmental impact of each cabin to a minimum - both
during production and for the years ahead.
The exterior of each hut is clad either in feather-edged oak
or metal sheeting, depending on the client’s request. However it’s the
flexibility of the interior design and choice of quality materials that really
shows off the team’s dedication to quality without compromise.
“We would rather take time to explain to a customer the
performance benefits of the quality materials and finishes than compromise simply
to save costs,” commented George Bannister, one of the driving forces behind
the business. Looking at a sample of the
huts and seeing frame and chassis work in progress in their well-appointed and
expanding workshop, it’s clear they are winning the support of their customers
in this regard.
From a start-up business just two years ago, Blackdown
Shepherd Huts now employs five craftspeople directly, as well as providing regular
support for the local forge that produces the metalwork. Their reputation is spreading across the
globe, with a new manufacturer based in Australia who works with local timbers,
building huts to the original and exacting Blackdown specification and
precision standards. George explained
that a rapidly-growing part of their business is the supply of kits to ‘self builders’,
giving them the opportunity to construct their very own Shepherds Hut using the
quality components supplied.

We will be returning to them later in the year to see the ultimate workshop upgrade!
Really helpful and informative piece! Impressed a lot and i’m really willing to read something more from your side. Keep posting!
