Things you need to know that will affect wendy house prices
Material – Wendy houses are most commonly made out of treated pine, however fiber cement is a stronger and more durable material. Even though fiber cement costs more, it is worth considering if you plan on using your wendy house for an extended amount of time. Wendy houses are traditionally seen as a short-term solution, however if you take care of it, a wendy house can last for years.
Restrictions – Homeowners are often under the impression that they do not need permission to erect a wendy house on their premises. This is not always the case, especially if the wendy house will be used as housing. It is correct that a Wendy House with a footprint of less than 10 square metres is classified as a minor building work under the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act. The 10 square metre restriction is, in actuality, a reference to the maximum size of a garden shed and not a wendy house that can be used for any purpose.
Roofing – This is an important consideration as some roof sheets are not as durable. Whether you are using your wendy house as a garden shed, or play house you do not want roof leaks. A roof sheet thickness of 0.40mm – 0.47mm is recommended, anything thinner will not last as long. Zincalume sheeting is corrosion resistant and has a life span 4 times longer than regular corrugated iron sheets. If you want a specific colour sheeting, Colorbond is a good choice.
DIY your wendy house?
You may be handy around the house, and there are so many sites giving step-by-step instructions on how to build one but be cautious as it is not as easy as it seems. Also make sure you get a professional to install your wendy house. A poorly installed or built wendy house can cause a string of headaches, more money to be spent, and possible damage to the contents of the wendy house. Even if solid wendy houses are constructed, in good faith, a lack of industry knowledge and experience can lead to a structure that is not going to last.
