ROOF STRUCTURE - Our Roof Frames are hot dipped Galvanised and Guaranteed against structural failure for 12 years - nobody else offers this length of guarantee on their roof. Galvanisation is a lot better and more expensive form of protecting metal than zinc plating or simply painting the frame as some other companies do. |
 |
THATCHED ROOF DESIGN - The thatch we use is genuine African Cape Reed Thatch for authenticity, it clips easily to the roof structure and is easy to install, we use a mixture of Heavy duty and Standard tiles finished of with a Top Cone. |

 |
ROUNDED LOGS - All timber for the African Thatched Gazebo (except deck boards, table surface and bench seat) are round. 160mm (6") Main Posts are used to give a solid structure and a chunky look and feel to our Gazebo. We have found that many of our competitor’s gazebos usually supply posts of 100-125mm with some offering 150mm at an additional charge, never the 160mm that we supply as standard. |
 |
COMPONENTS SUPPLIED - We supply you with all nails and screws needed for the assembly of your African Thatched Gazebo. |
 |
PRESSURE TREATED TIMBER - All the timber in our African Thatched Gazebos carries a 12 year warranty against Insect Infestation and Fungal Decay. We use Tanalith ‘E’ Pressure treatment which is widely regarded as one of the best ways to preserve redwood timber. Also very importantly we treat the timber AFTER it has been cut to size we do not Ensele the timber. Enseling is brushing on the treatment to an end of the timber which has been treated as a full length and then cut, the cut ends are Enseled. As this is simply a brush application it does not have the same long lasting qualities as when the timber is treated in the pressure treatment plant. The timber we use is Redwood Pine, from the Baltic region and Russia, due to the colder climates this is a dense timber that has grown slowly and is a stronger and more stable timber than similar timbers from warmer regions. |
 |
STRONG FLOOR- If you purchase the optional floor you'll be getting the largest bearers offered on any comparable African Thatched Gazebo, at 140mm deep these will easily span the distance between the posts and give you a solid floor with no need to support it in the middle. We also include a heavy duty weed proof membrane as standard when you buy the floor so that you can lay this down (or our installers will if we install it) to help prevent weed or grass growth from coming through the gaps in the decking. Also we only use proper 28mm thick grooved deckboards in our floors, exactly the same as we offer in our deck kits. |

RAPIDPADS™ (OPTIONAL EXTRA) - Our UNIQUE RapidPad™ foundation gives a very quick and easy installation method without the need for concrete and is Unique to Dunster House. It is very quick to level and is ideal if you plan to self install. Should you opt for our own teams of Installers (not subcontractors) to install your Gazebo for you then this system allows them to quickly do a professional job without the need for a concrete mixer. It also ensures that the timber will last longer because it forms a natural drip for water to be able to run off the timber quickly rather than being encased in concrete which due to the constant dampness caused by being in ground conditions will lead to the timber rotting more quickly. Any comparable timber used in architecture, if used correctly, is always used with a metal bracket to secure to concrete rather than simply sinking the posts into concrete for this reason. RapidPad™ installation is also much easier for you, the customer as it would take approx. 30 bags of ready mix concrete to concrete in the posts for other Gazebos. (Click here for more info!) RapidPads™ are available on all our Thatched Gazebos for an additional cost, see our optional extras below. |

RAPIDPAD™ 12 YEAR STRUCTURAL GUARANTEE-This guarantee is for Rapid Pads™. The RapidPad™ itself is galvanised so we offer our 12 year structural warranty against failure due to rust on these pads. |
 |
PLEASE NOTE - Cracks naturally occur within timber and will open and close to a degree with changing humidity. This is a natural property of timber and will not affect the structural strength of your Gazebo. |
