All of our timber Pergolas, Gazebos, Carports and Porches are fully pressure treated as standard. We take the pre-cut lengths of timber and place them in a large pressure treatment tank, where the timbers are impregnated with a non-toxic preservative. We add a colourant during this process, giving the timber a rich brown colour. By pressure treating the timber, we can offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation. We only suggest that you apply a good quality water repellent to prolong the longevity of the timber.

All our Pressure Treated timber is for Use Class 3. It involves the application of preservatives using a vacuum.

 

All of the timber in this garden building has been responsibly sourced and pressure-treated to ensure it lasts. Pressure treatment forces the wood preservative into the timber rather than simply dip treating (essentially just covering the exterior) like many companies still do.

Unlike some competition, we can offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against wood-eating fungal and insect infestation on pressure-treated timber.

Engineered with precision, this pergola boasts a robust framework featuring 70mm x 70mm solid wooden framing and galvanised steel brackets.

The 70mm x 70mm framing forms the backbone of our pergola, ensuring a solid and substantial structure that stands the test of time. Experience the confidence that comes with a pergola built to withstand various weather conditions and provide long-lasting enjoyment.

Our pergola also comes equipped with galvanised steel brackets for the feet. This strategic integration not only enhances stability but also protects against corrosion, ensuring your pergola remains structurally sound and visually appealing for years to come.

This beautiful wooden pergola comes with a clear corrugated polycarbonate roof. The clear roof allows sunlight to filter through while still providing some shade, allowing you to enjoy the outdoor space whilst still being protected from direct sunlight. It also helps to protect against the elements, such as wind and rain. It’s an excellent solution for creating a comfortable outdoor living area you can use throughout the seasons.

The thickness of the roof beams on our Pergolas show how the quality of our products is superior in that we are never sparing with the amount of timber we are willing to use. We do not compromise on quality when it comes to ensuring that our timber products will last and will stand the test of time and weather wear. Added to the increased durability of the thick beams, they also look impressive and will make your pergola stand out in your garden, adding to the magnificence of your new garden centrepiece.

Unlike our competitors, we only use high-quality spruce timber on our wooden products 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 timbers in our garden buildings minimise splits from 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 from appearing in the densely packed timber.

Our wooden garden buildings and climbing frames 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.

All our garden buildings have been designed on the basis that any competent DIY customer should have no problem installing a product themselves in a short amount of time. You do not have to be an expert at DIY to build a Dunster House garden building, as we do provide you with comprehensive pictorial instructions. We totally understand that DIY is not for everyone therefore, you may want to consider getting in touch with a local carpenter or handyman to install it for you. But before you do, check out our construction video and decide for yourself!

There is nothing more annoying than being in the middle of building something and finding that you don’t have the right fixings to continue. We include all of the screws, nails and fixings that you will need to put your garden building together – not many of our competitors are that thoughtful. This eliminates the need to worry about the type of screws or the length of nails you might need to get started – it’ll all be with your delivery.
