African Thatched Wooden Gazebos & Outdoor Garden Canopies

You feel as if you are a million miles from the hustle of daily life, but in reality you didn't have to travel at all to get there. You are enjoying the benefits of an African thatched wooden garden gazebo or thatched outdoor garden canopy!

Traditional gazebos have been fixtures in gardens for centuries, the existence of garden gazebos has been traced back to the earliest gardens.

Wooden Garden Gazebos

Wooden garden gazebos are now one of the most prevalent outdoor garden structures in the world.

By design and definition, a gazebo is a `gazing room`, an isolated outdoor structure intended to offer panoramic views of the surrounding garden landscape.

It is meant to serve as a haven, a quiet place in which to take a moment to catch ones breath and relax or contemplate as the busy world continues outside.

African Thatched Canopies

The development of thatched roofs dates back to prehistoric times, when early man started to build a basic roof, shelter, hut or canopy to shade and protect themselves from the elements. Our unique range of African thatched structures really do stand out from the traditional type of wooden gazebos found in UK today.

With its African charm, our range of thatched gazebos and canopies are not only elegant and very attractive in appearance, but also offer a cool and peaceful aura which will enhance any landscape, garden, patio or recreational area.

A Multitute Of Uses

The uses for our garden gazebos and outdoor canopies are endless: relaxed get-togethers, entertaining a party of family and friends, summer barbeques (whatever the weather!), outdoor dining rooms, unwinding after a hectic day at work, housing a hot tub or spa on your patio, sitting, reading or simply watching the garden wildlife or the world go by.

Our wooden gazebos and outdoor structures have even been installed at hotels for outdoor wedding venues.

Hot Tub or Spa Enclosures

Our exclusive range of African thatched spa and hot tub gazebos come in many different shapes and styles, manufactured specifically to accommodate either a small or large hot tub or spa. Each structure offers a private enclosure for you to enjoy your hot tub or spa all year round. Choosing the right structure for your hot tub or spa will, without doubt enhance both your hot tub, spa and garden. Available small or large, freestanding, open on all sides or enclosed with canvas panels or solid log sides. The canvas or log sides provide privacy and additional shelter from the elements.

Canopies & Gazebos With A Difference

Our African thatch gazebos create a stunning focal point for either a contemporary or traditional design garden. Each uniquely designed wood canopy or gazebo reflects a style of outdoor living that is uncomplicated, relaxed and elemental in its approach to colour and textures, evoking the character and essence of Africa. Our canvas drop down panels or wooden logs sides are ideal for those cosy evenings as they provide privacy and additional shelter from the elements. Our range of canopies and gazebos have been designed to accomodate all types of garden furniture or what about a chill out bbq dining area!.
