What maintenance to I need to do to the hut?

The only real maintenance needed is a quick stain of the timber (not the roof) every 12 months or so. This will keep your hut looking in 'as new' condition for many years to come.
Do I need to do termite treatments?
Both Coconut palm wood and cedar are naturally termite resistant timbers so your hut is not going to be a tasty option. If your hut is on grass/dirt, we recommend using the concrete footers that are supplied free with your hut so you can easily monitor termite activity through visual termite mud tubes that will appear up the concrete footer if termites appear.
 
Do you supply grass thatched huts?
We only supply timber shingle huts. They are maintenance free, durable and long lasting. Grass needs continual maintenance, deteriorates and can look messy very quickly, and generally needs replacing every 7 years.
 
What is the roof made from?
The roof has 4 layers. From the inside out there is bamboo matting, timber ply, aluminium insulation and then premium grade Western Cedar shingles.

Western Cedar is an incredibly durable timber with amazing thermal properties. All of our Western Cedar shingles are sourced from Sustainable Managed Resources. It is naturally termite resistant and has a life of 20-60 years, depending on variables.
 
Will the colour of the roof change?
Yes. Over 6-12 months, the Cedar shingles will grey off to the more authentic weathered look.
 
Do I need to oil the shingles?
This is up to you but not necessary. They are designed to last a lifetime with no oiling ever!!
 
Do I get spare shingles?
You will have shingles left over from your install.
 
Do I get a warranty?
Our experience has shown that any faults with the huts are immediate and are evident during install. We will fix/replace any frame pieces that are defective within 12 months of purchase of your hut.

We only use stainless steel nails to install the shingles to allow for a lifetime of enjoyment.
 
Can I get a traditional terracotta crown for the roof?
