All of our Observatories are supplied with their own Base.

Constructed from 3" x 2" Treated timber, and covered with a Treated Flooring Sheet, the Base will stand firm on almost any surface for many years to come.

Pedestals will be fitted below the Floor Level so that the threads are out of sight.  

The General construction of all our Observatories is done using 3" x 2" smooth planed timber.

Waterproof sheeting is fitted to the walls before we clad the outside. This will stop water from getting inside the framework and rotting it all away.

We believe that an Internal wall covering is important, so this is why we cover all of the walls with a Hardboard Lining.

Whilst we do offer you a choice of coverings for your Roof , the General construction is the same for all our Observatories.

Because the Roof is an Independent unit , we must ensure its Stability and overall Integrity, which is why it is quite a complex construction.

Despite the overall weight of the Roof , it is Relatively simple to move for any able bodied person.

You will not be Lifting the Roof on and off , you will be Rolling it along a track , which is very much easier.  

The Roof Rolls along a track which is located on the top of the Rails.

It is not always necessary for the Roof to Roll - Off completely, if you have a limited space in which to locate your Observatory, then you might be able to reduce the length of the Roll - Off Rails to a minimum in order to house a larger Observatory.

We take security very seriously, we understand that you have expensive equipment inside your Observatory and you want it to stay safe and secure, which is why All of our Observatories are supplied with a 5-Lever Deadlock fitted to the door.

The Roof is locked down from the Inside using a folding Hasp Lock in all 4 corners.

We can fit extra security to your Observatory if you would like, but generally our standard security is enough.
