If the wood is ok, you could use the existing piece to make a pattern, but that's going to be tricky and as Ash is a hardwood, it may be difficult to work - especially when you need to bend it into shape for the curved timbers.

There is a company based in S.Wales (St Clears, I believe) who do the wood for Travellers. I think they're called 'Woodies', but that may be another company. They may be willing to supply plans, but it would be a whole lot easier to buy off-the-shelf replacements that you could fit.

Whoops Gareth thats Steve Foremans company in Chichester.
But you are right about there being a supplier in Wales and there is another in Hull.
