Fully Pressure Treated
Slow Grown Spruce
Unlike our competitors, we only use high-quality spruce timber in our wooden porches rather than cheap pine or mixed timber. Why do we use slow grown spruce rather than the much cheaper knotty pine alternatives?
Spruce is considered more stable as it expands and contracts less than pine. This stability means that the spruce walls of our garden buildings minimise gaps appearing as the timber changes along with the weather. We responsibly source all our timber, where it grows slowly in the cold northern regions. We all know the old adage of counting the rings to see how old a tree is, well our timber grows slower and takes longer to get to size meaning it has more rings in it. This means it has a tighter grain, and each ring helps prevent cracks and shakes appearing in the densely packed timber.
Our wooden porches really are built to last therefore we use only the highest quality, slow-grown spruce. Spruce is much more resilient to warps and splits compared to its cheaper alternative pine. Being a whitewood, it doesn’t discolour anywhere near as much as pine so it is also much more aesthetically pleasing for a garden structure. Considered more stable, less knotty and resinous than pine, spruce will also produce a lot less sap. It is also less dense meaning it is not as susceptible to mould and rot.
Heavy Duty Structure
Interchangable Crown
You can customise your porch based on your favoured design. Pick a crown configuration that’s most suited to the style of your property and create a stunning feature that will welcome any guest.
Contemporary
Opting for a straight crown finish is ideal for anyone after a more modern finish.
Traditional
Alternatively, you can choose to build your porch with a fanned-out crown for a look that’s more traditional.
The choice is yours!
No Glued Together Offcuts
We are proud of the way we build and design our garden structures. So, we only use full lengths of timber in our wooden porches. This means we don’t glue separate offcut pieces together with finger joints. Not only are they stronger, but they look much nicer too.
Other companies are happy to provide you with rough offcuts, mixed timber and finger jointed timber, creating a weakened porch and off-putting appearance.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our terms and advice during this period. We hope you can enjoy your Dunster House garden product for many years to come.
To ensure the very best quality, we only use slow-grown White Spruce Timber, which is harvested in cold climates to ensure solid, dense log rings. This gives the wood superior strength and longevity, and also a much more consistent colour than the likes of Pine.
Despite the care we take in selecting the very best Timber available, it’s not like predictable brick or cold steel, this natural material has characteristics and quirks unique to every log.
Because our timber logs once fed water and nutrients back and forth from its roots to its leaves, its very nature is to be porous and swell up when it gets wet. Any wooden product will do this throughout its life, but there are a few things you can do to help limit this movement.
These include:
1. A great design!
2. Water Repellent Treatment.
3. Ventilation.
4. Regular Seasonal Maintenance.
Natural Timber Properties
After building your timber product, this natural construction will begin to ‘settle’. This means that you will likely see some natural timber imperfections appear. These types of natural imperfections can include:
Please be aware that, as these are natural timber properties they are not considered as defects under our Terms & Conditions (for more information, check out our Ts&Cs here). However, in most cases, these imperfections will not impact the integrity or function of your timber product, and/or can easily be rectified. For advice on how to rectify these and for more support, please get in touch with our Customer Services Team on cs@dunsterhouse.co.uk.
