Visual weight and a more substantial profile. A second top rail runs alongside the first at each corner, which makes the junction between the post and the overhead frame look more considered and more permanent. The double rail is visible from outside the structure — from the garden looking in — as well as from underneath.

The premium model uses a heavier timber section throughout — thicker posts, deeper rafters — and adds pedestal panels at the base of each post. The double garden model uses the standard timber sections and achieves its visual weight through the double corner rail detail rather than the section size.

Yes, both at the point of order. Roof kits in clear, opal or bronze polycarbonate with white or brown glazing bars. Privacy screening in heavy-duty rebated redwood as one side, two sides, back or combinations. When a roof is selected, a five degree pitch is built into the rafter positions.

The posts fix to the ground — bolt-down feet on hard surfaces, concreted in on soft ground. The decking base is supported on the post frame rather than independently anchored.

Two people with a drill, a level and spanners can build most sizes in a day. Posts first, then the decking frame and boards, then the double corner rails and rafters. Precision notched joints mean sections locate without site cutting.
