Oak arched garden gateway

A white oak arch for the end of a path: two trellised sides 520mm deep on four bolt-down posts, sawn arched beams carrying seven purlins for a rose or a clematis to cross over, and a picket gate with a softly arched top that keeps a dog in without walling the garden off - the frame becomes a room you walk through.

• Anthracite twin bin store A store for two 240-litre wheelie bins in anthracite-painted boards: each bay has a lid that lifts to drop a bag in without opening the doors, ledged doors that swing wide to wheel the bin out on collection day, and a fixed rear deck carrying a planting trough, so the front of the house sees thyme and sedum instead of bins.
• Oak pergola daybed A 2.1m daybed in oiled white oak with its own pergola: four posts carry a slatted bed for a full-size outdoor mattress, a low back and end rails to lean on, and knee-braced beams and rafters overhead that filter the sun and take a canvas or a climbing vine - a shaded room to nap in on a terrace with no tree.
• Perch-edge oak raised bed A 2m oiled white oak raised bed with a 180mm cap wide enough to sit on all round, and a deeper slatted bench on knee brackets along the front: you garden sitting down at 463mm instead of kneeling, and every part of the 1m-wide bed is in reach from one side or the other.
