Do-it-yourself (DIY) - DIY African Hut Kits
Why?
We make it as simple as it can be by supplying you full kits with comprehensive easy-to-follow instructions, engineer drawings and you can even contact our installers direct if you have any questions during construction.
The kit is flat packed and most will fit into a box trailer or ute. Larger kits may need ladder racks for the longer pieces of timber.
THE WHOLE KIT AND KABOODLE
All DIY African gazebo kit parts come measured, pre-cut and ready to assemble with African thatch roofing provided to your requirements. There’s no lugging heavy lumber from your local timber supplier, no measuring fussy angle cuts, no agonizing over miscut corners due to poor measuring.
COMPLETE AND READY to install a magnificent African Gazebo (excludes concrete if putting your posts in the ground). Includes a step-by-step easy to follow manual with images and diagrams, warranty, and happy helpful phone support – yes you speak direct to our installer! No offshore service or machine generated answers.

- 40 degrees roof pitch (square and rectangular)
- H3 treated pine frames (rot and termite resistant)
- Maximum 600mm rafter spacing (ensures straight lines)
- Instruction manual
- Galvanised nuts and bolts
- 95% waterproof if correctly installed

Standard size Gazebos are usually in stock and available for immediate delivery, however, if you require a non-standard size we can easily accommodate this as we produce the frames ourselves in our Tuggerah factory.
STRENGTH & DURABILITY
Each African Gazebo is designed to Australian Standards and only premium quality materials and timbers are used. The original African Gazebo design is created to withstand harsh tropical storms, torrential downpours, hot sun and strong winds – we have improved on this to meet Australian weather conditions. We also use a 40 degree roof pitch as it is more durable than 30 degrees. Our African Gazebos are built strong, durable and sturdy using only premium quality products and the design follows attention to detail. Details that make your African Gazebo special and beautiful.
THATCH
With very little maintenance, a thatch roof owner can expect a roof to last for 6-10 years. Various climates however, do affect the life span of a thatch roof. The frame should last more than 25 years. Please read our warranty.
One of the great attractions of thatch is that is extremely thermally efficient – warm in winter and cool in summer. Unlike conventional roofing systems that trap heat and moisture vapor in attics, thatched roofs require no attic ventilation. African gazebos can reduce the inside temperature up to 10 degrees Celsius, creating a pleasant environment for your family on a hot summer day.
Australian quarantine requires that all thatch must be treated as a condition of entry to Australia and therefore the product is free from pests.
What is the difference between the Bali Hut and African Gazebo materials?
Balinese thatch, used in the Bali hut, originates from Bali and has a more tropical look, compared to the African Cape Reed, used on the African Gazebo, which has a neater, clean cut look.
