» Foundations

Your Garden Escape rests on unique re-enforced concrete pads which can be elevated to 500mm above ground level.

 

» Structure

The Garden Escape uses the latest Structurally Integrated Panel System (SIPS). Pre-fabricated and insulated timber panels combined with this technology ensure industry leading integrity, making it suitable for use as a long term garden building.

 

» Roof

The roof of the Garden Escape consists of a single-ply Evalon semi-permeable membrane. This is bonded and welded to provide a water-tight yet breathable roof which also benefits from a 20-year manufacturers guarantee, again ensuring that your investment in your garden haven is secure.

 

» Exterior Cladding

We use only western red cedar from well-managed forests in Canada. This wood weathers over many years to a silver-grey colour. No on-going maintenance or preservation is required during the life of this garden building.

 

» Door and Window Frames

Our doors and windows are constructed from Iroko hardwood. This is a sustainable sourced hardwood and ages to a silver-grey over time to compliment the exterior cladding of our garden rooms.
