Larger Wendy houses
Bigger rooms for guests or teenagers. For permanent living, look at a Nutec house.
Nutec Wendy houses
Fibre-cement cladding instead of timber, for less upkeep.
Wooden or Nutec Wendy house?
Wooden Wendy houses have a warm, natural look and are often the more affordable option up front. Timber needs regular sealing or painting, plus protection from moisture and termites.
Nutec Wendy houses use fibre-cement boards that do not rot and are not eaten by termites. You repaint them from time to time, but there is less ongoing maintenance.
If the building will get heavy use, stand in a damp spot or serve as an office, the Nutec option is worth comparing.

FAQ
Questions about Wendy houses
What size Wendy house can I get?
There is no single standard size. Start with what needs to fit inside, then add space for walking around. Send us the size you have in mind and the spot where it will stand, and we will advise.
Do I need permission to put up a Wendy house?
Small garden structures are often treated differently from dwellings, but rules vary by municipality and estate. A building people sleep in generally needs approved plans. Check with your municipality and your HOA before you order.
Wooden or Nutec Wendy house?
Wooden suits storage and budget-conscious projects. Nutec needs less maintenance and does not rot or attract termites, which is worth comparing for offices, damp spots and heavy use. We can quote both for the same size.
Can I put electricity in a Wendy house?
Yes. Plugs and lights can be installed, and the electrical work needs a registered electrician who issues the certificate of compliance.
