What is an oast house?
An oast, oast house or hop kiln is a building designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. They can be found in most hop-growing (and former hop-growing) areas and are often good examples of vernacular architecture. Many redundant oasts have been converted into houses. The names oast and oast house are used interchangeably in Kent and Sussex. In Surrey, Hampshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire they are called hop kilns.

    Hi , amazing work by a team of carpenters , thinking on the Hoof, Dan must have been wide awake during his apprenticeship , and worth his weight in timber ,as it is getting nearer to the price of gold . Many thanks for all concerned in the making of this video , no wild life was injured in the cutting of the birds mouths .😉

    Dan has told me he considers himself to be a no more than average tradesman and is suprised by the people who think he is something special. I think that humility is what makes him so good.

    Awesome / Amazing workmanship "Dan" this may be one of your best videos Rodger well done if not for yourself “Skillbuilder” we would not see the craftsmanship taking place (Who knows may not see another) That "Huffam Oast House" is a "Folly" it has no practical purpose other than to help sell the houses nearly million bucks and 7 of them this may help them market the house "The Magnificent Seven" you could say. The Oast house looks "Extraordinarily Good" must be a beautiful place when finished (Any chance of a picture of above looking down Drone would be great add that skill to your repertoire Rodger you have many) We have built “Mansard Roofs” along with Windmill Type Roof / Sussex Oak Barns all interesting work. Well done “Dan” you have considerably above average Carpentry Skills. Thanks again Rodger.

    Watching this i saw what i would call a bodge build, not questioning the skill of the workforce but of the materials used, which other than the steel frame work would require major maintenance within the next 10 years at enormous cost, probably more than the original build cost. Cheap substandard materials used, and susceptable to the weather elements.

    Why would you nail the floor down and not screw? Wouldn't a screw hold the flooring better over time and can be tightened if needed ? Interested to know.

    Could I ask about the timbers in between the flanges of the steels? Did you pack an 8x2 out with some osb so that the joist hangers hung past the end of the flanges? Got to do the exact same thing shortly and was going to use 9x3 to overcome this but it’s expensive if I can get away with some osb instead. Many thanks and love the Oast House 👍🏻

    Hi Big sugs, yes we did pack it out with timbers then OSB. I’m not sure just OSB. It’s rated as structural but I preferred real timbers. Thanks for watching it, and good luck with your build.

    shame the old place had to go, but for 8+ million development, and probably the neighnours wanting to keep thier views the council probably had to give that prerequisit before any of the nieghbours allowed it. At the end of the day it's money in everyones pockets rather than not. Nice work though. A basic roof I can do, but that would turn my head to spaggetti.
