Wendy Houses & Cabins

Have you considered, when purchasing your next Wendy house, what you need to know to compare price and value for money?

Timbacore strives to provide all their clientele with quality products that are value for money.

You can choose to let us manufacture and install for you, ask us to manufacture and you install, or you can DIY with quality timber supplies and products from our timberyard and retail shop.

How familiar are you with Wendy houses, or do you prefer to make your purchases on a phone?

Let’s make one thing very clear. You have to see the product prior to buying it, and, you have to familiarise yourself with the product. Most people tend to only discover problems associated with a product when it is too late.

As there are no specifications set out for wooden cabins or Wendy houses as they are so often called, it is easy to end up on the bad end of a deal with little or no recourse.
The Timbacore team are all highly skilled at their carpentry trades and have the ability to offer recommendations on the type of timber to be used for a project, the hardware required, the correct application of products e.g. insulation and cladding, as well as spatial constraints or layout challenges. It’s all about the attention to detail, great service and the right product for the job, ensuring quality results.
TIMBACORE is a premium Wendy House and timber cabin builder. Best quality, best guarantee. For more information contact us, or visit our showroom where we will gladly assist you. ‘

TIMBACORE Cabins, Wendy Houses, Garden sheds, Toolsheds & Cabins are manufactured using CCA Treated Pine. Available in different sizes and custom-made options.

Timber frames for the walls
The timber should be CCA pressure treated to at least H2, and once again we prefer using H3 treated wood. The frame consists of vertical studs and top and bottom frames.

Wall Cladding
The wall cladding may be Timber or Fibre Cement (Nutec or Shera board, nicknamed Handy Plank or Planking 8 or 9 x 150mm), however, take note they all need to have a proper frame.

The Timber Cladding must be CCA pressure treated H3 (not H2, as H2 is only for inside use) and also could be painted or Wood sealed on the outside to further protect against weathering. We have a wide range of Timber cladding, Loglap, Halflog, Shiplap, Flat weatherboard and Rustic cladding fixed with Gun Nails. We offer both Nutec and Shera board, fixed with stainless steel screws.

Floors
The 22mm tongue and groove flooring should be CCA pressure treated to at least H3 and fixed onto floor joists. Remember, our roof sheets hold a 15-year guarantee and our timber a 20-year, SABS approved, supplier warranty against rotting, beetles etc.

Interior Cladding
Options on interior cladding are Plyboard, Rhinoboard & Knotty Pine Roof Sheets.
You get roof sheets and then you get roof sheets! There is a product on the market aptly named by some a ‘one-year roof sheet’, which is 0.27mm thick and lasts approximately one year. At Timbacore, our roof sheets are Colorbond and Zincalume sheets and they are all 0.47mm thick. These come with a supplier guarantee of 15 years. (We are also willing to work with other types depending on a customer's preference, of course.)

Roof Structure
Timber should be CCA pressure treated to H2 at the very least. Timbacore however prefers to use H3. For example, on a typical pitch roof, you have purlins onto rafters. Roof options are pitch roof and Mono/flat Roof.
