Plankbridge shepherd’s huts are made and restored in the heart of Dorset by the country's leading team of experienced makers. We take pride in our friendly, ‘family firm’ approach and all strive to work to the highest standards of craftsmanship, which are often lacking in the modern world.

The Plankbridge shepherd’s hut is our symbol of years of experience, research and a close affection for our rural heritage. Shepherd’s huts were originally made by Victorian foundries and blacksmith’s forges, and at Plankbridge we have copies of original Victorian shepherd’s hut blueprints from a local firm called Lott and Walne. The plans very much inspire our work, whilst we also embrace new technology in the hut builds.

Years ago we wrote out a set of core values, and here is a section from that:'We are dependable and reliable, true to the spirit of the Victorian Dorset Hutmakers. We keep our word and deliver huts that are built to last, steeped in the heritage of Dorset's rural past. We are faithful to our customers, to ourselves and our colleagues, to the huts we make and to the landscape we inhabit'
