In a world where sustainability is more than just a buzzword, homeowners, designers, and landscapers are searching for brands that blend environmental responsibility with timeless style. Ruby UK, a family-run business based in the heart of rural Devon, is doing exactly that—crafting beautifully designed, sustainably sourced timber products that elevate outdoor spaces across the UK.
From made-to-measure garden gates to pergolas, fencing, cladding, and planters, Ruby’s handcrafted timber range embodies a commitment to quality, eco-consciousness, and design versatility. Here’s how this Devon-based brand is changing the way we think about outdoor living—one timber creation at a time.
Rooted in Devon, Grown Sustainably
Ruby UK began its journey in 2007, selling timber online with a simple philosophy: combine expert craftsmanship with a deep respect for nature. Inspired by the ancient woodlands and scenic valleys of Devon, the team understood early on that building with wood isn’t just about creating structures—it’s about preserving the natural world that inspires them.Today, Ruby sources its timber responsibly, using sustainably harvested materials like larch, cedar, Iroko hardwood, and treated redwood. These woods aren’t just durable—they’re naturally beautiful, requiring minimal processing while offering exceptional strength and longevity.
Every product Ruby creates reflects this careful sourcing. From planed and profiled cladding boards to bespoke driveway gates, the brand remains committed to reducing waste and encouraging eco-friendly practices at every stage of production.
Handcrafted with Precision, Designed for Life
What sets Ruby UK apart isn’t just the materials—it’s the people behind the products. With over 25 years of experience and a team of more than 15 dedicated craftsmen, Ruby builds each item by hand at its Devon workshop. This isn’t mass production. It’s artisanal manufacturing with attention to detail that you can see and feel.
Looking for a made-to-measure field shelter? Need bespoke garden fencing to fit a unique landscape? Ruby’s expert joinery team can bring almost any vision to life. And with the support of an in-house 3D design team, customers can visualise custom projects before production even begins.
Each item—whether a pergola, shed, planter, or entrance gate—is crafted to order, ensuring not just a perfect fit, but a product that reflects your exact needs and aesthetic.
Style Without Compromise
Ruby’s timber designs aren’t just sustainable—they’re beautifully stylish, too. Outdoor spaces have evolved from purely functional areas into lifestyle extensions of the home. Ruby’s modern yet rustic aesthetic aligns perfectly with this shift.
Want a contemporary look? Try their sleek larch or cedar slatted fence panels, treated with OSMO oil to preserve their colour and form. Prefer something more classic and timeless? Their Highampton mortise and tenon entrance gates offer elegant lines and traditional charm.
No matter the style, Ruby’s products are designed to stand the test of time—both in looks and performance.
Built for the British Outdoors
Designing timber products for UK gardens means accounting for everything the weather throws at you—from lashing rain to coastal gales and hard frosts. Ruby’s selection of weather-tough timber and protective finishes means their products are not only stylish but also built to endure.
