Foundations

Pallet floor

You can opt for a traditional Wendy house/garden shed set up, with a wooden pallet floor supported on bricks- this type of unit is considered temporary as it can be moved in required. This can help with planning in some instances, and is a cost saver if a solid floor is not necessary (as with a shed or storage unit).

Concrete floor

A more permanent option in which you Nutec house is built on a concrete slab. This is a permanent solution and recommended if the unit is for any purpose involving habitation (a home, garden flat, office, or studio). Costs are slighly higher, however, still well below what a traditional brick and mortar construction will cost. The resulting Nutec wendy house will be much more solid.

Wooden posts

Terrains sometimes require that your Nutec wendy house is built on poles driven into the ground. The lightweight construction of a Nutec wendy house make it perfect for this kind of construction.

Roof type

Pitched roof

There are typically two main types of roof that are suited to Nutec Wendy house construction- the first is a pitched roof in which two angled roof surfaces slope up and meet in the middle of the structure. The resulting roof is better to look at, and offers better run off for water as the angle of slope tends to be higher.

Flat roof

This isn't a completely flat roof, but the slope of the roof runs across the width of the building, one wall (typically the back wall) being slightly higher than the other. The resulting slope is less than a pitched roof, and the resulting roof is generally not as high, giving the building a lower profile, and the unit cost is slightly reduced because of the easier construction. However, a flat roof does not perform as well as a pitched roof in harsh weather conditions.

Simple shell or fully finished

We do much more than build simple storage sheds. Our team of professional tradesmen can complete anything from an empty shell all the way to a home ready to move into.

Water and sanitation

Toilets, showers, kitchen sinks- if you want to live or work in your Nutec Wendy house you are going to need water and sanitation in it. Our skilled, professional, qualified plumbers can do everything from a simple sink to a full bathroom and kitchen set up. Find out more about our plumbing services.

Lined and insulated

If you are going to live or work in your Nutec wendy house it needs to be lined and insulated- rhino boards are used to create internal walls, and insulation is place inbetween that and the outside wall- keeping heat out in summer, and heat in in winter.

Ceilings

Similar to walls, a ceiling creates space to hide wiring, and put insulation so that your Nutec is cosy in winter, and cool in summer.

Internal walls

We can divide larger units into multiple rooms using internal stud walls.

Windows

Most Nutec wendy houses require windows to comply with local planning regulations. We offer standard wooden frames or aluminium sealed windows.
