Technical Information - structure

The structure of each Tuzo garden building is made from timber sourced from managed forests which is then pressure-treated to protect against decay and insect attack. Round posts are used for the main uprights, handrails and spindles to complete the rustic look. We also give the complete structure an additional wood preservative treatment to add colour and ensure maximum weather protection. We have a range of colours available.

Technical Information - flooring

Tuzo garden buildings feature timber decked flooring as standard, although we offer the option of ungrooved flooring if decking is not desired. Again, all timber flooring is pressure-treated to protect against decay and insect attack and then given an additional wood preservative treatment.

Technical Information - roof

The roof of a Tuzo garden building is constructed from round timber posts, then a layer of 6mm plywood followed by a weatherproof membrane, and finally covered with the synthetic palm leaf thatch. This creates the look and rustic theme of natural palm leaf thatch, while the space-age polymers from which it is made make it almost indestructable. The synthetic thatch is guaranteed for 15 years against fading and 20 years against loss of texture and waterproofing. The roof is finished off with a copper cap.
