Further InformationThe Adowa 2.7m African thatch circular roof gazebo kit with timber base and flooring comprises:
African Cape Reed Thatch Roof:
A genuine 2.7m African thatch circular roof constructed from a combination of different types of African cape reed thatch tiles. Each thatch tile has a series of clips bound into the top of the tile. The thatch tiles are simply clipped onto 8mm tubular bars which are integrated on the outside of side the gazebo roof frame. See also:

Gazebo Roof Frame:
The thatch tiles are supported by a lightweight tubular zinc plated metal roof frame. The roof frame consists of a series of 8mm tubular bars running at 320mm (12.5`) intervals. The bars are positioned so that the tiles have a 100mm (4`) uniform overlap. The tiles are installed in layered courses starting from the bottom. The roof frame is pre coated in a sand colour to blend in perfectly with the thatch tiles. The frame is virtually invisible from underneath and all the thatch tiles are clearly visible from the inside.
Redwood Timber Poles:
The gazebo roof frame is supported by six 2.4m x 125mm (7`10.5" x 5") redwood timber poles. The timber poles are vacuum treated with Tanalith E wood preservative to ensure maximum weather and rot protection. Additionally all timber poles are pre treated with a cuprinol `golden brown` wood treatment preservative. Each timber pole is quadruple machine routed to accept both the interlocking redwood timber head rails and redwood ballustrading sections. See also:

Redwood Timber Head Rails:
The gazebo kit is supplied with six 75mm x 75mm (3` x 3`) redwood timber head rails. This head rail runs around the top of each structure interlocking with each individual pole. The purpose of this head rail is to ensure rigidity of the structure and also to enable the use of the optional canvas side panels. The head rails also allow the attachment of cables, heating and lighting options.
Redwood Timber Ballustrading Sections:
The gazebo kit is supplied with five sets of redwood timber ballustrading sections. One side is left open for the entrance to the structure. The ballustrading sections are pre manufactured in our workshops and are designed to slot straight into the pre routed timber poles.
Redwood Timber Base & Flooring:
Building a timber base and flooring from scratch requires advanced carpentry skills. There are many angle and compound angle cuts required. For this reason we supply the timber base and flooring completely pre build. The redwood timber base and flooring is supplied in two sections. These sections simply bolt together to form the foundation for your gazebo.
Fixtures & Fittings:
The timber poles are connected to the roof frame via specially engineered 125mm (5`) heavy duty zinc plated metal brackets. The gazebo kit is supplied with all the necessary fixing, fastening and detailed user instructions. A telephone hotline, manned by an experienced fitter, is available for those who should require any assistance.
Installation:
Most gazebo kits can be fully assembled in a matter of hours using only a cordless screwdriver and a hammer. The gazebo timber base and flooring should be positioned on a flat level surface. Ideally the surface should be constructed from decking, paving or concrete. See also:

The gazebo kits are ideal for those wishing to construct a thatched gazebo on an exsisting decking, paving or concrete base. If you do not have a suitable base, or an uneven or unprepared site, please see:
