A pool house or outbuilding constructed using timber-frame construction requires a durable natural stone foundation: pedestals to anchor the support posts, baseboards to finish the bottom edge, and sills beneath windows and doors. Belgian natural stone protects the wood from moisture and gives the entire structure a refined look.
Wood and damp soil don't mix. A natural stone foundation keeps the wood frame dry and firmly anchors the structure. At the same time, the stone's natural colors give the pool house or outbuilding a character that complements the wood.
| Element | Position |
|---|---|
| Piedestals | Secure anchoring for the wooden support posts, away from damp soil |
| Baseboards | Placed between the pedestals for a stylish and sturdy finish on the bottom |
| Sills | Elegant and functional base under windows and doors |
A pool house rarely stands alone. Combine the foundation with Natural stone pool coping, a patio made of the same stone and stepping stones toward the house. This way, the garden forms a cohesive whole.

Belgian blue stone is the classic choice for pedestals, baseboards, and thresholds: it’s durable and resistant to splashing water. Its natural colors also complement wood beautifully.
Base plates securely anchor the wooden support posts and keep the wood off the damp ground. This protects the structure.
Baseboards are installed between the plinths at the bottom of the structure. They provide a stylish, sturdy finish and protect the bottom from moisture and dirt.
Yes. Baseboards, moldings, and thresholds are custom-cut in our own workshops to match the plans for your pool house or outbuilding.
That's often the case. A patio made of the same blue bluestone and pool coping around the pool complete the look.
