FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions GazebosIt is windy where I live, Will it blow away?
Our gazebos structures are made from a durable wood called Bengkirai (Shorea Lavis) found in Asia. Bengkerai weighs around 1000kg per cubic meter which makes it 50% heavier than teak wood or Merranti, the commonly used wood available in Dubai. Therefore our gazebos are heavy and would require a severe hurricane to move them. The same applies to the coconut poles we use for the columns of grass Gazebos .They are 18cm diameter and sturdy. The canvas top has been designed to allow air to flow through the gazebo with minimal uplift and disturbance. The two stage roof allows the wind to pass through the vented area to remove any potential uplift. We have never had a gazebo roof blow away since we started building them in 1996.
Does the Gazebo have any Warranty?
Canvas and grass gazebos we supply and erect in UAE come with a 12 months warranty. We will repair or replace at our expense any defective parts and fill and re-stain any surface cracks that may occur in this period.
What about Grass roof gazebos will they last long?
Our Grass gazebos follow traditional designs used in Bali, Indonesia for hundreds of years. The roof thatch is made from a special grass called Kunai grass and is built up into thick layers by wrapping it around bamboo poles, stitching it together and building up into thick layers. These roofs are designed to withstand severe tropical storms. In the dry weather conditions of the Gulf it will not rot. The first gazebo we built here 10 years ago is still in excellent condition.
My canvas roof is dirty, how should I clean it?
We recommend jet washing the roof rather that removing it. We can provide contacts for several companies who can jet the canvas for you. The roof can easily be removed, dry cleaned and replaced
Is the canvas Water proof?
We use water repellant polyester canvas. Rain will run off it not pass through it.
How long will my gazebo last?
Bengkirai is extremely durable wood and will not rot and is resistant to attack by termites but like all outdoor wood products will require periodic re-staining every 2 years or so. We recommend 2 coats of Sadolin Classic Wood Stain available from shops in Dubai.
I would like to move our gazebo, can you help?
For a fee, we can assist in the removal and erection of the gazebo in the UAE. If you are moving outside of the UAE, we recommend you contact a local carpenter.
