Our buildings have a rustic charm with an oriental influence and elegance. They are low in maintenance and highly durable ensuring that you can spend your leisure enjoying the peace and tranquility of your garden to the full.
Our buildings may be configured into three designs, pavilions, gazebos and teahouses which are fully enclosed these are standard configurations or can be custom built.
Pavilions consist of the roof structure and supporting framework.
Gazebos are pavilions with open lattice panels fitted to the sides and Shoji style panels to the rear these can be configured to suit.
Teahouses are enclosed pavilions clad with Shoji style paneling complete with round moon glass windows sized at either small 0.6m or large 0.9m with simple latticework and sliding doors. The paneling is fabricated from timber or a structural PVC sheet, giving a more natural look and can be painted any colour.
Verandas can be installed with any of our buildings.
Roofing we offer a choice of roofing shingles including Oak and Western Red Cedar, which are highly durable.
When sizing your Tea House, please note the roof measurement will be around 20cm greater and a little more on the corners depending on the style of the building with the eaves height being 1.82m.
