About Oskam Buitenleven

More than 10 years of craftsmanship in wood, from our own workshop in Arkel and on site.

ABOUT OSKAM BUITENLEVEN

Born from craftsmanship

Oskam Buitenleven is the company of John Oskam from Arkel, which he started himself. What began over 10 years ago with a passion for woodworking grew into a trusted address for custom-made canopies, garden lodges and garden rooms across central Netherlands.

Everything is crafted in our own workshop in Arkel. No standard factory packages, but structures designed exactly for your garden, your home and your way of living. We work exclusively with honest materials: European Douglas, Larch, Oak and Thermowood of the highest quality.

"We don't just build, we build for the long term."John Oskam
