The use of high quality wet off saw pine as a cladding, built over sturdy, long-lasting timber frames, first-class workmanship, and years of experience mean that a JR Wendys Wendy House will give you years of service.
Wooden clad Wendy houses are a proven technology, with centuries of use to back it up. Maintained properly you wendy house will last for many years, successfully keeping the harsh Cape Town climate at bay.
Your Wendy house can be in any configuration of size or shape and our teams of skilled atisans can provide finishing from simple garden sheds all the way to fully functioning homes.
Pallet style floors are great if the unit is not permanent, or if planning is an issue. The floor is supported on brick piles and is constructed like a wooden pallet, with cross beams of timber supporting a plank floor. Pallet floors are the most common with wooden wendy houses.
A solid foundation that is permanent, and probably needs proper planning permission. This type of foundation is essential for strong, sturdy longlasting structures. You no longer have a wendy house, but more of a timber framed structure. Not very commonly used for Wooden Wendy houses.
Solid timber poles are driven deep into the ground, with a pallet style platform built on top. Perfect for uneven terrain, to maximize a view, or to avoid unsuitable ground (flooding etc). With a wooden wendy house this type of unit blends in perfectly to sensitive eco-areas.
This is misleading, it isn't actually flat. This type of roof has only one 'fall', usually from front to back (along the width or the unit- using the shorter side for the drop allows for a steeper angle in the same wall heights). This slight angle allows rain water to run off to be collected in a gutter system. To create this angle, the front wall of the unit is slightly higher than the back. A very low profile building is achieved, perfect if you have issues with blocking views etc. A flat roof also requires less complicated framing, making it a slighlty lower cost option to the alternatives.
A traditional A frame roof, with a ridge down the middle of the structure creating a fall to either side. With the same height of structure you get a much sharper angle to the roof, making water run off more effective, and the rain is running to two points, making it less likely that gutters will be overwhelmed in heavy weather. A pitched roof is considered by most people to be the more attractive of the two options, making a unit look much more finished. Larger units may have multiple frames creating complex geometry. A frames are more complex to build and install than flat roofs, making them slightly more expensive.
Traditional hardwood window and door frames are commonly installed in traditional wendy houses. It reduces costs and fits the look of the unit perfectly. We fit the windows to the highest standards, so you don't have to worry about the Cape Town weather, and with proper care and maintenance you will get years of perfect performance from your windows and doors.
Available in white, natural, bronze or even black finishes, Aluminium doors and windows are less commonly fitted to traditional wooden wendy houses. They tend to increase the price of the unit and don't fit the aesthetic as well as wooden frames. That said, we can fit them to a traditional Wendy house if you want that zero maintenance advantage, and thicker glass.
