Rat Zodiac – Decorative Furniture
The perfectionist meets perfection – the rat zodiac meets Dunster House decorative furniture! So apart from the obvious what makes this such a perfect match-up – let’s start with the rat zodiac wisdom and resourcefulness that pairs with the expert design features that means you can use your garden furniture for multiple purposes.
Tap into the rat zodiac’s social spirit by using the seats to welcome friends or cleverly utilise the vertical space of the trellises to expand your garden vertically. If that wasn’t enough what if we told you Dunster House garden furniture can showcase the rat zodiac’s determination with its 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation? We’re sure the clever rat zodiac can see this is a sage choice indeed.
Ox Zodiac – Overlord Sheds
Durable, Reliable and Strong – that’s what the Ox Zodiac represents, so it makes sense that our minds would jump to our Overlord Shed Range!
Pressure Treated with a 10-year guarantee, 15mm thick wall, floor and roof and 4mm toughened glass – all aspects of our sheds have been designed to stand the test of time. We also had to take into account the agricultural significance of the ox and how that ties in perfectly with one of the purposes of a shed to store gardening equipment and generally help your garden thrive!
Tiger Zodiac – Log Cabins
The tiger is often regarded as the king of the zodiac and certainly the king of the jungle. Let us introduce you to the King of the Dunster House range – The Log Cabins!
Log Cabins are always a popular choice and we can see why when they include 24mm double-glazing, multi-point locking and 19mm tongue and groove roof and floor. If we needed any more proof that these two kings were great representatives for each other (which we didn’t!) the tiger zodiac is a wood element zodiac matching the wood of our log cabin – 100% Slow Grown Spruce to be specific.
Rabbit Zodiac – Pagoda
For our choice for the rabbit zodiac, we have decided to go for on-the-nose and specific. What’s in a name? Turns out in this case plenty – meet the SabreBunny Pagoda!
Let the oriental charm of this pagoda make your garden into a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity. The artistic, kind and peaceful spirit of the rabbit zodiac can be seen in the elegantly carved panels of this pagoda. The roof design of this pagoda is reminiscent of the beautiful pagodas often featured in traditional Asian culture with our very own modern Dunster House flair.
Dragon Zodiac – Garden Offices
The Mighty Dragon – Ambitious and Hardworking + The Dominator Garden Office = The Ideal Combo!
For the only mystical creature of the zodiac, we thought to match it up with the most powerful of our products. With its insulated walls, roof and floor, double glazing and security you’d have thought Dunster House garden offices make temperature and noise issues vanish almost as if by magic. Even down to the name – Dominator – the zodiac and our garden office seem to be on the same wavelength. Dragon zodiacs are strong and independent these personality traits would be complemented by the remote work style associated with garden offices.
Snake Zodiac – Gazebos and Pergolas
The snake zodiac is adaptable, wise and myster
ious, and we see these very same attributes present in our gazebos and pergolas.
This is achieved with our panel configuration which allows you to adapt the structure to your needs whether that be adding slatted panels for plants to grow up or solid panels to protect your privacy. Coincidentally making it extra beneficial for the snake zodiac as they value their own space what better way to do this than with a customisable configuration that can be personalised by you for you.
Horse Zodiac – Climbing Frames
What’s the perfect fit for those who are energetic, animated and adventurous? A climbing frame, of course, which is why we’ve picked it to be the representative of the Horse Zodiac.
With many of our climbing frames having the capacity for multiple children the need for socialising would be easy to achieve – we think the horse zodiac would approve. The enthusiasm exhibited by the Horse Zodiac is also very in-keeping with the spirit of climbing frames as they are built to improve confidence, social awareness and, most importantly FUN!
Goat Zodiac – Humanitarian Products
Now while our humanitarian products aren’t the main attractions for everyday customers they are worth a mention on our list. Which zodiac could be a better representative for them than that of the Goat Zodiac with their reputation for kindness and compassion.
Kindness and compassion aren’t the only things that made us put the Goat Zodiac and our humanitarian projects together. The Goat Zodiac compiles knowledge and thoroughly researches the projects it’s involved in and we have used our years of experience in the garden-building market to develop the best humanitarian products we could.
Monkey Zodiac – Addroom Conservatory Alternatives
What do you think of when someone says garden building? A log cabin? A garden Office? A gazebo?
Not for the Monkey Zodiacs these innovative thinkers like to think and do the unexpected and unpredictable. When talking about innovative garden buildings nothing beats the Addroom Conservatory Alternatives!
As the Monkey Zodiac would do, so has Dunster House done – seen a problem and expertly and elegantly solved it! Have you ever wondered how to leave that pesky planning permission behind? Or maybe you need an affordable way to extend your property?
Then the Addroom could be the perfect thing for you, allowing you to extend your space without becoming detached from the goings on of the main property. After all the Monkey Zodiac is sociable so being left out isn’t an option.
Rooster Zodiac – Garages
Tidy, punctual and practical – remind you of anything? It does for us – two things in fact – the Rooster Zodiac and our very own Dunster House garages. For extra benefits from the features, you could opt for a double garage with more room and more entry points making it more convenient. Additionally, for one of the Zodiacs with the strongest work ethics, a workshop garage sounds like a natural choice to get things done.
Dog Zodiac – Windows
Dunster House was originally a windows and doors company, so you could say that our windows and doors are our longest-serving products and have faithfully improved a whole range of our products. Given the Dog Zodiac’s penchant for being loyal and trustworthy, we figured that these two are a good fit.
Dogs are also often characterised by their protective nature and just like dogs are known for their protective nature, our windows offer similar security. We use 4mm toughened glass for our garden buildings, along with internal beading, to enhance safety.
Pig Zodiac – Garden Bars
The Pig Zodiac is blessed with good fortune in life, that sure seems true, given that one of our amazing garden bars is their corresponding Dunster House garden building!
Unlock your joy for life by channelling the spirit of the Pig Zodiac! The Pig is the social, fun-loving and likeable character of the Chinese Zodiac – so what better product than one of our wonderful garden bars and pub sheds! Our wide range also allows you to choose the best option for you. So fully enjoy the possibility of an out-out feel with in-in prices and become the go-to destination for having fun!
Don’t think it is only our pub sheds that can open the doors to a fun night – the Pig Zodiac’s perseverance for a good time knows no bounds so may we introduce our Log Bar extras so you can live it large in a number of Dunster House products.
Now you’ve found out about your Chinese Zodiac and which garden building is right for you what are you waiting for? It’s time to harness the wisdom of the Zodiac – Get your garden building now and enjoy the New Year in style!
