OUR
Craftsmanship
We go to great lengths in all that we do, every Robinson Garden product is crafted with the same attention to detail.
Never hurried; we take time and care in everything, ensuring that the finest detail is considered throughout.
OUR
CHOICE OF FINIALS
We have a wide choice of finials to create that added touch to your bespoke Dovecotes. You can choose from the traditional finial collection which includes the classic Ball and Acorn or alternatively a Unique finial.
All of our finials are made using sustainable and ethically sourced FSC approved wood. Made from one single piece of wood preventing cracking and separation.
WHAT IS A
UNIQUE FINIAL?
Individually designed and handcrafted by our in-house carpenters using our top of the range lathes. If you choose a unique finial our carpenters will spin a design based on their own design flare at the time. Due to this, no unique finial is exactly the same!
Please note that all these sizes are estimates and do vary depending on your finial choice.
Freestanding height will vary slightly due the dovecote not being fixed into the ground.
All of our Dovecotes come either ground fixed or free standing allowing you to choose if you would like your Dovecote fixed in a particular location or have it free standing so it can be moved as and when required.
*** Please Note ***
Our Dovecotes will arrive in two pieces when delivered. Due to Insurances purposes we are unable to provide an installation / assembly service. Please ensure you follow the Dovecote guide when installing.
Freestanding
The Freestanding Dovecote allows you to be able to move the Dovecote as and where you wish. Please read the Erecting your Dovecote Guide which provides all the information on how to fit your Freestanding Dovecote. For your safety ensure there is a minimum of 2 people at all times when fitting the Dovecote.We do advice that you secure it down in case of adverse weather conditions.
Ground Fixed
Please ensure that the location of where you would like the Dovecote to be ground fixed is suitable for digging into the ground as on average you will need a depth of around 3ft to securely fix the Dovecote into the ground. Please read the Erecting your Dovecote Guide which provides all the information on how to fit your Ground fixed Dovecote. For your safety ensure there is a minimum of 2 people at all times when fitting the Dovecote.

Dovecote FAQsSPECIALLY DESIGNED
Nesting Boxes
Each Dovecote has six handcrafted independent nest boxes, a perfect home for six nesting pairs of doves or pigeons.
Just the right size for your Doves to build a nest without being too airy, too spacious and also providing adequate shelter from the wind and rain. In addition to this, the nest boxes have a unique annexed nest area hidden around the corner from the door.
OUR
Seal of Approval
We take pride in each bespoke garden product that we carefully handcraft in our Lincolnshire workshop for our clients.
To prove that, we attach our plaque of approval onto the post all of our Dovecotes.
STRONG & DURABLE
Dovecotes
Uniquely handcrafted using mortice and tenon joints to provide strong and durbale Dovecote structures.
HANDCRAFTED
Independent Balconies
It’s important that Doves have their own space and to ensure that, each nest box has it’s own Balcony. The balcony allows the Doves to sit, take off and land.
You would find that if the balconies were joined together then the Doves would walk around from one balcony to another increasing the risk of fighting.
HANDPAINTED USING
Farrow & Ball Paint
All of our products are individually hand-painted by our painting team in our Lincolnshire workshop. Our timber is wood knot treated, undercoated and finished with Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint.

Susan P –
The service from start to finish was outstanding, nice to see a company that still offers a high quality and personal service for all of its clients. We were looking for a bespoke Dovecot for over a year that would suitably situate in our court yard. The freestanding option looked amazing in the middle and prevented us having to dig up the ground. Would like to thank Dominic and the team for their advice throughout, their blog articles also offer some insightful information too. Thanks again Sue

Made to a first class standard by obviously caring craftsmen, we were absolutely delighted with the result. It now stands proudly at the end of our garden and is wonderful to view each day. Lucky birds!
