WENDY HOUSES

Big or small, finished or simple storage, residential or commercial, we have the skill, expertise, and experience to deliver.

Tongue and Groove

Tongue and Groove is a pine board finish in which the boards are joined together to create a flush surface to your Wendy house. Each board has a groove milled into one edge, and a corresponding tongue on the other. This allows the boards to be slotted together, creating a very strong, stable, and weather tight cladding. As with all our Wendy house materials, we only use the finest available pine, which is treated to SABS standards to make a very long lasting finished product. Our tongue and groove Wendy houses come with the same guarantees and warranties as all our units. Tongue and Groove cladding produces a structure with superior properties- it is more weather tight (particularly in high winds) and individual boards are less prone to warping over time, as they are locked in by their neighbors. And unlike with traditional overlapping boards, the cladding provides much more structural integrity. Unfortunately, all the extra milling does make this form of Wendy house slightly more expensive, however, the long term benefits often outweigh the initial cost differences.

Overlap 

Wendy houses are what you would call the traditional look, in which boards are fixed across the width of the structure, with each board overlapping the one below it. This means that water runs down the sides of the building, but cannot work its way back up and into the inside.
The material used for overlapping is treated pine. Pine is readily available from sustainable sources, making it low impact on the environment, and is treated to SABS standards to ensure that it will last for years.
As with all wooden structures, maintenance is key to longevity, but, properly cared for, your overlap wendy house will provide a life time of service to you.

Roof Options 

Flat Pitch

The roof is 2.4m at the front, sloping to 2.2m at the rear of the building. This allows rain water to run off the back of the building, away from the doors and windows at the front. The direction of the slope is only a recommended preference and can be changed to suit your requirements. Typically we use corrugated sheeting for our roofing- its strong, durable, and weather proof, as well as being low maintenance. 

Pitched Roof

This is what you would say is a classic roof type. It slopes from both sides up to an apex, with a gable at either end. Heights depend on the size and pitch desired, however, typically, the lowest point is 2.2m and the apex is 2.4m. Orientation can be either direction, and even accommodated in odd shaped Wendy houses.

Flooring

Wooden floor

The traditional way of flooring a Wendy house is to use a pallet type construction in which joists are supported on leveled blocks, then sheets of durable ply are laid over these and fixed in place. The rigidity and stability of the floor is paramount in building a solid, dependable structure that will survive the rigors of use. A wooden floor provides this rigidity, but still allows the unit to be classed as temporary, as it has no fixed foundation, and can be easily moved if required.

Concrete floor

A slab of concrete is laid as the base of your Wendy house. This is obviously very stable, but does make your unit a semi-permanent structure. Slabs are laid to SABS standards, and remove the springiness often associated with wooden floors. Your concrete floor can then be finished to your specification, be it tiled, laminated, or simply painted.

Windows and doors

Aluminium

Strong, durable, and incredibly low maintenance, pre-sealed aluminium windows and doors are a great option if traditional look is not your thing. The glass is thick and strong and the frames stand up to our harsh climate with little to no maintenance. The units come pre made by reputable manufacturers and comply to all SABS standards.

Wood

Made from sustainable plantation and invader species hard wood by reputable window manufacturers and finished to SABS specifications. Wooden window frames match our traditional wood finish Wendy houses perfectly. This versatile option can also be painted to suit any colour scheme. With proper maintenance and care, wooden doors and windows will last a life time.
