The benefits of re-thatching your Bali Hut

A well-executed re-thatch of your Bali hut not only restores its authentic appearance but significantly extends its lifespan, ensuring you get to enjoy the cool shade and shelter it provides all year round.

Fresh thatching material provides superior protection against the elements, preventing water damage and deterioration of the underlying structure. The new thatch also offers enhanced insulation properties, keeping your hut cooler in summer and providing better shelter during unexpected rain, making it a more comfortable space for year-round outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the practical benefits, re-thatching breathes new life into your outdoor space, instantly refreshing your garden’s aesthetic appeal. The clean, crisp appearance of new thatch creates a striking focal point, adding that sought-after resort-style ambiance to your backyard.

Regular re-thatching also prevents potential issues like pest infestations and mould growth that can occur in aging thatch, ensuring your Bali hut remains a healthy and inviting space for family gatherings and peaceful relaxation.

Custom Rooms for your Backyard

As all of our backyard rooms are manufactured in our Melbourne factory from scratch, we can customise and create the perfect backyard room for your purpose.

Unlike pre-fabricated solutions, our custom-built rooms can maximise every inch of available space. Custom construction also ensures superior build quality, with materials and insulation chosen specifically for your climate and usage.

Every detail can be customised to enhance functionality and comfort in your unique space.

Transform Your Backyard into a Versatile Living Space

A backyard room offers the perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor living, creating valuable extra space without the complexity and cost of a full home extension. These standalone structures serve as your personal retreat just steps from your main home, while adding significant value to your property.

Transform your backyard room into a dedicated home office, creating true separation between work and home life. Or design the perfect artist’s studio, music room, or teenage retreat – the possibilities are endless. When family visits, it doubles as a private guest suite, complete with its own entrance and amenities.

From a practical perspective, modern backyard rooms feature excellent insulation and can be fully equipped with electricity, air conditioning, and even plumbing. The construction process is typically faster and less disruptive than traditional renovations.

These structures create a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living, encouraging you to make better use of your entire property. Whether you’re seeking a quiet workspace, a creative studio, or simply an escape from the main house, a backyard room offers the perfect solution for expanding your living space.

(Sanctuary studio featured, include two extra large windows, glass sliding door and flyscreens)
