Sciebois

What Sciebois does

Sciebois is a French artisanal manufacturer of outdoor wooden furniture and timber-frame structures, founded in 1989 in Relanges, Vosges, and operated as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with a fixed share capital of €5,336.45. The company designs, fabricates, delivers, and installs custom outdoor wood products — including tables, benches, garden sheds, terraces, pergolas, carports, bus shelters, garages, footbridges, gloriettes, barriers, privacy screens, and flower beds — across 117 catalogued models in 17 categories. Its core technology centers on autoclave-treated Douglas wood (Bois Douglas) sourced and sawn locally in the Vosges, using traditional joinery (mortise-and-tenon), laminated timber (lamellé-collé), I-beam structural elements, and insulated wood-frame construction (145x45mm timber, OSB sheathing, wood-fiber insulation).

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and project-based: customers submit quote requests via the company website (sciebois.fr) specifying dimensions, finishes, and project location, after which Sciebois conducts a site study, fabricates to order, delivers nationwide across France, and installs with internal quality control. It serves three segments — Particuliers (individual homeowners), Collectivités (local governments and public-sector bodies such as communes and golf courses), and Professionnels (businesses) — through documented projects spanning commercial storefronts (Biocoop Biovair), municipal infrastructure (Commune de Bulgnéville pedestrian bridge, Auzainvilliers event hall extension), hospitality (Golf de Vittel gloriette), and education (Sylvatum / La Forêt du Savoir open-air classroom). Revenue is generated entirely through one-time custom sales and bundled delivery/installation services, with no subscription or recurring component. A decennial insurance-backed warranty (garantie décennale) underpins the offer. Most recently, in September 2025, Sciebois launched the Carport solaire — a solar-integrated carport developed in partnership with photovoltaic specialist Barbier Sun&Sons — extending the product line into renewable-energy-adjacent structures.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Lasita Maja: Baltic manufacturer of prefabricated wooden log cabins, garden houses, and outdoor buildings. Comparable because its garden houses, garages, and pavilions directly overlap with Sciebois' abris de jardin and garage categories, serving European buyers including France through dealer networks.
• Palmako: Estonian/Baltic manufacturer of wooden garden houses, pavilions, and outdoor structures exported across Europe. Comparable because it offers the same outdoor wood structure categories (gazebos, sheds, pavilions) as Sciebois, though it operates primarily as an exporter into France rather than a domestic French artisan.

Emerging players

• Silvadec: French manufacturer of composite wood decking, cladding, and fencing based in the Loire region. Comparable to Sciebois as an adjacent French wood-based outdoor building materials competitor targeting terraces, cladding, and fencing use cases, though focused on composite rather than solid Douglas fir.
• Fiberdeck: French composite wood decking and cladding brand distributed in France and Europe. Comparable because it competes for the same terrace, cladding, and outdoor structure budgets Sciebois addresses, though at the standardized/industrialized composite end of the market.

Broad incumbents

• Fermob: French outdoor furniture leader based near Lyon, producing metal and mixed-material outdoor tables, benches, and chairs. Comparable because it serves the same French particuliers/collectivités/professionnels outdoor-living demand and competes for similar outdoor furniture budgets, though it operates at much larger scale and uses metal rather than wood.
• Weka (Holz Bauer): German manufacturer of prefabricated wooden garden houses, carports, and pavilions. Comparable to Sciebois because its product portfolio (carports, garden sheds, pavilions, summerhouses) directly overlaps with Sciebois' 117-model catalog, serving European homeowners with standardized and custom wooden outdoor structures.

Direct peers

• Forest-Style: French manufacturer and distributor of wooden garden products including sheds, pergolas, carports, and outdoor furniture. Directly comparable to Sciebois because it offers the same custom/bespoke outdoor wood structure categories (pergolas, carports, garden sheds) to French residential and professional buyers.
• Chalet & Jardin: French specialist in wooden garden buildings, chalets, and outdoor structures. Comparable because it overlaps with Sciebois' garden sheds (abris de jardin), garages, and house extensions in wood, serving the same French homeowner and small-business segment.
