How is pine cladding used on Wendy houses?

The structure of any wooden Wendy house starts with a quality timber frame. This frame is made using treated timber, usually pine, sometimes locally available hardwoods such as saligna. It is made to very specific standards to ensure it is strong and rigid.

The pine boards are only to create a weatherproof outer cladding. They provide no structural strength- all the Wendy house’s strength comes from its strong base and frame.

Should you use Pine or Nutec?

The alternative to pine boards are fiber cement boards orNutec Wendy Houses.

Fiber cement boards have many advantages over traditional pine, it is seen as a superior product.

So why is pine used in so many Wendy houses?

Cost is a big factor. Pine boards are much cheaper than fiber cement alternatives. If you are on a budget then pine boards are a perfectly good way of creating your Wendy house.

Other factors include the look- you cannot have a natural wood finish on a fiber cement product; and longevity- not all Wendy house applications need a long life span, some units are only required on a temporary basis in which case there is little point in spending the extra money on fiber cement boards.
