about cobut woodcrafts

Hello, I'm Cristian!

I founded Cobut Woodcrafts & Shepherd Huts in 2020 to specialise in functional and attractive wooden buildings that have genuine character. I work with a small team of professionals to hand craft unique Shepherd Huts and wooden living spaces that become a real talking point. 

I have worked with wood for nearly 20 years and have extensive experience in construction. At Cobut Woodcrafts we focus on insulated full accommodation Shepherd Huts that can be used as holiday rentals or garden escapes. 

In the last year we have made several Shepherd Huts and custom garden buildings for outdoor living. A finished project from us comes with care and attention to details that leave you feeling safe. We work with accredited electricians and other professionals to ensure that all works are signed off to full regulation standard.

To get the right result for each project we work with many different woods and often incorporate reclaimed wood to create living spaces that both look good and are designed to work practically. You can see our recently completed projects on this site, from a full new build timber barn to personally crafting custom wooden furniture for our Shepherd Huts. 

I design and build in the countryside of North Wiltshire near Highworth and can supply finished huts throughout the country subject to transport arrangements and location access.  

To take the first step on your journey to owning one of our unique shepherd huts get in touch for free 3D plans, a quote and estimated build dates.

All Season Shepherd Huts

Our one-off design and build Shepherd Huts have been sold as holiday lets and private garden retreats. Fully insulated with accommodation, plumbing and electricity they make a wonderful place for a weekend stay or an extra garden room for guests or yourself. 

We include character points, often working with reclaimed materials to create Shepherd Huts that become a talking point. They are desirable and unique and designed to last for decades as a real investment. Prices on our full accommodation huts start at £25,000 and range upwards for different sizes and styles.  

Outdoor Living Buildings

When our workload allows we have project managed and created wonderful garden buildings for customers. It's easier than you might think to make more use of your garden with a custom BBQ shelter and covered eating area. These can be in hut or shelter style or even a traditional wooden gazebo. 

Most of these structures can be built with no planning permission and make a huge difference to time spent outside with friends.  A typical garden shelter project will take 4-6 weeks depending on scale, and can include paint and finish. The price on a finished timber BBQ outdoor eating area this will typically be around £9,000-£15,000 depending on size.

If you'd like to know more, contact us to discuss what you are looking for. We can give references for previously completed projects and give you ideas and sample plans to discuss. We work in North Wiltshire and can arrange a visit within a reasonable area to quote on a hut for your property.
