Traditional Pyramid-Roof Luxury for Your Garden
The Obdam Douglas DIY Timber Gazebo (4.3 x 4.3 m) brings timeless architectural elegance and year-round shelter to British gardens. Featuring a soaring pyramid (hipped) roof that reaches an impressive 3.75 metres at the ridge, the Obdam creates a truly grand, open-air living space that elevates patios, lawn terraces, and poolside decking.
Whether you envision a dedicated barbecue and dining pavilion, a sheltered garden lounge, or a luxury cover for your hot tub, the Obdam provides the structural presence and character only genuine European Douglas fir can deliver.
Chunky 15 x 15 cm Douglas Fir Framework
Engineered for strength and stability, the Obdam is supported by four hefty 150 x 150 mm (15 x 15 cm) square posts reinforced with eight diagonal corner braces. Douglas fir is naturally dense and resin-rich, offering exceptional structural resilience in damp outdoor environments. The timber is supplied fresh-sawn and fine-sawn (band-sawn), giving it a warm, tactile, rustic finish that weathers gracefully to a silvery patina if left untreated, or takes beautifully to natural wood stains.
Robust 18 mm Tongue-and-Groove Roof Construction
The pyramid roof framework utilises heavy-duty 50 x 150 mm roof purlins clad in solid 18 mm double-lip tongue-and-groove timber roof boards. This traditional boarded ceiling provides far superior durability, visual warmth, and acoustic dampening compared to thin sheet materials, keeping your covered space quieter and cooler during heavy rain or warm sunshine.
Modular DIY Self-Build Timber Kit
The Obdam is supplied as a DIY timber construction kit intended for confident DIYers, carpenters, and landscape professionals. Components are supplied slightly over-length to allow precision on-site trimming, ensuring the structure adapts seamlessly to your ground levels and exact layout needs. The package comes complete with:
- Four 15 x 15 cm upright posts and eight diagonal storm braces
- Roof purlins (5 x 15 cm), fascia boards, and 18 mm roof decking
- Complete metal fixings kit (bolts, screws, and hardware)
- Comprehensive assembly drawings and layout guides
Ground Anchoring & Options
To ensure maximum longevity and protect the base of your timber posts from standing moisture, we strongly recommend mounting the posts on adjustable concrete post anchors (betonpoeren) bedded in fast-setting post-mix cement.
You can also personalise your Obdam gazebo to suit your garden setting:
- Roofing Shingles: Finish the pyramid roof in high-grade bitumen shingles—available in classic black rectangular, red beaver-tail, or green hexagonal designs (heavy concrete roof tiles are not recommended).
- Guttering Kits: Prevent runoff with an optional anthracite PVC (65 mm / 100 mm) or galvanised steel (125 mm) gutter set.
- Infill Walls: Add one, two, or three solid timber walls using Larch feather-edge cladding or tongue-and-groove boards for extra privacy and wind shielding.
