Colorbond Steel

Genuine BlueScope corrugated Colorbond steel walls — 22 colours, the same material used on Australian roofs and fences for over 25 years. Colour-stable, completely weatherproof and built to withstand Melbourne's wet winters and dry summers. No lining required, no rust, no maintenance on the steel walls.

 

Merbau hardwood frame

Merbau is one of Australia's most specified outdoor hardwoods — naturally dense, inherently durable and visually striking. The rich, deep grain develops character with age and handles Melbourne's outdoor conditions without complaint. Merbau Decking Oil is applied by hand as standard, with additional finish options available.

 

Construction

Assembled with hot-dipped galvanised shank nails — the outdoor timber industry standard. They flex with the timber's natural movement, keeping the build solid through Melbourne's seasonal extremes. Hand-built at our Cranbourne workshop by our experienced carpentry team.
