Two things: the timber section and the pedestal panels. The premium uses thicker posts and deeper rafters — a heavier specification that is visible at a distance. The pedestal panels at the base of each post give the structure an architectural finish at ground level. The garden model uses the standard section size and shaped rafter ends for its character; the premium uses mass and detail at the post base.

Decorative. The pedestal fits around the lower section of the post and gives the base of the structure a finished, considered appearance. The structural work is done by the post itself, which is pressure-treated and fixed into the ground or onto bolt-down feet in the usual way.

Yes, along with privacy screening. Both are chosen at the point of order. Roof kits in clear, opal or bronze polycarbonate with white or brown glazing bars. 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 sections are heavier to handle, which means having two people for the build is more important than with the lighter models. The jointing method is the same — precision notched connections that locate without site cutting.

The decking base is designed to sit within the post footprint of the premium frame. The platform is supported on the post frame rather than independently anchored, and the pedestal panels sit above the decking surface.
