Wooden Wendy Houses
Wooden Wendy houses are the traditional way to build sound structures for less. From small garden sheds to full size homes.
Our Wooden Wendy houses and homes are built using quality materials by professional tradesmen. Attention to detail and value to our clients are at the forefront of what we do.
A Wooden Wendy house is only as good as the frame it is built on. Timber, treated to SABS standards is constructed on either a pallet (none permanent), concrete (pernament foundation), or even timber poles (for rough, uneven, or sloping terrain) form the structure of our Wooden buildings. We put as much care on the inside as we do on what you can see on the outside, meaning your structure will last for years.
Why use wood?
Why is Wood such a great material for cladding timber framed structures in Cape Town?
The wood is from sustainable sources, usually a by-product of the removal of invader species, clearing the way for the return of native plants and animals.
The treated timber is also very hard wearing and long lasting- with the correct maintenance it can last for many years without needing to be replaced. It is also economical and easy to build with, making for more budget friendly Wendy houses.
It also makes your unit just look like a classic wendy house, which may fit into your property better than a painted unit. And you can paint a wooden unit, but you can't make a Nutec unit look like natural timber.
Wooden is for you
Wooden clad units are perfect if you are looking for a budget option or you just have to have that traditional wooden look.
It is:
- Easy to maintain and repair
- low cost
- environmentally friendly
- great looking
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 Wooden 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 Wooden wendy house will be much more solid.
Wooden posts
Terrains sometimes require that your Wooden wendy house is built on poles driven into the ground. The lightweight construction of a wooden 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 Wooden 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.
Plugs and lights
Whether its a simple light fitting or a complete distribution board installation, with multiple plug points etc our electricians are professional, skilled, and certified. All work is done to SABS standards and complies with all local codes. Find out more about our Electrical contracting services.
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 wooden 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 wooden wendy house is cosy in winter, and cool in summer.
Internal walls
We can divide larger units into multiple rooms using internal stud walls.
Windows
Most wooden wendy houses require windows to comply with local planning regulations. We offer standard wooden frames or aluminium sealed windows.
