Advanced Options

WALLS/WINDOWS

Opened Walls
(with all panels behind the front panel).
You can also remove the panels to convert to a completely open pavilion

Closed Walls
(with all wall panels side by side)

The Kikue's Tea House features walls that are sliding panels made entirely of windows for maximum light. Each panel sits on an independent rail so the panels can slide behind one another. Or, you can place all the wall panels on one rail to create a solid wall on one plane.

The frame of The Kikue's Tea House is strong enough that you can even remove all (or some) of the wall panels and have an open "pavilion" for certain occasions. This is a very versatile design. Height of walls is 7 feet.

Standard Height is 7' (see drawings below). We can customize our gazebos to suit your needs. Just tell us what size and what options you want. Prior to building any Gazebo, we provide our customers with a detailed drawing based on their proposed features. This lets you review any choices made and make any needed adjustments before it is built. Drawings are a great way to make certain all details have been considered and that your Gazebo will be exactly what you dreamed of.

Sample of Kikue's Tea House Wall

The windows are semi-transparent tinted bronze acrylic allowing visibility while adding privacy and blocking the sun. Acrylic will not fade.

If you want a gazebo without any walls just the open pavilion-style framework plus roof, please contact us for pricing (you will save between 20% to 30% depending on the size).

SCREEN WALL PANELS

Also available for purchase are screen wall panels for your structure. These can be popped in place of or behind the acrylic window panels; they are the same size. The acrylic window panels each slide on their own individual rails, but can also be removed. If you would like to configure an all screen wall, the gazebos up to 10 x 10 in size use 3 panels per wall (12 total panels), while gazebos over 10 x 10 size use 4 panels per wall (16 total panels).

OPEN GAZEBO OPTION

If you're looking for an open-air wooden pavilion, you can order The Kikue's Tea House without the wall panels at a 25% cost reduction. Contact us and we'll be glad to help you.

Assembly Instructions for: Kikue's Tea House

All You Need is a Few Tools and a Friend.

Assembly is best done by two people and usually takes about half a day to a day, depending on size. Pergolas need a ratchet wrench, a hammer and a ladder to put them together. In some cases, you might need a drill to attach the posts into concrete. As with all our products, we preassemble pergolas in our shop to ensure everything fits together. All hardware is included and all parts are clearly labeled before it is shipped. We also include detailed step-by-step instructions.

Take a look at our assembly instructions below for specific details. If you plan to pour concrete to hold the posts, the project will require an additional half day prior to assembly. Please do the concrete pour a few days prior to assembly to allow the concrete to cure.

Installation Help.

Special talent is not required to re-assemble our pergolas. But, if you would like help, just let us know. We have our own team for installations in California, Nevada and Southern Arizona and a network of local contractors we recommend for farther afield.

Care: Your Forever Redwood Furniture will last for decades in year-round weather without maintenance.

Depending on the wood grade you choose, even with harsh year-round outdoor conditions, you can expect your furniture to last from ten to forty years without maintenance of any kind.

Being outside year-round is rough on any woods finish. The surface absorbs UV rays, pollution, constant variations in moisture and temperature and it also oxidizes. This is why most wood just doesn’t hold up and the surface color slowly changes towards a silver patina over the years. But, with Forever Redwood, you don’t have to worry. The silver patina is surface deep only (less than 1/64") and is not indicative of decay. Your set will last decades and is not compromised in any way by the surface color change. For example, we keep our display items as is without refinishing to show off this natural aging (we like the patina!).

Although Forever Redwood is maintenance-free, we recommended you take a few minutes as needed to clean by either hosing down and/or brushing/dusting away accumulated debris (no soap or chemicals needed). If you’d like to keep your set looking its best for decades, please go to: Care and Finish.

Keep the colors looking vibrant for decades.

A quick power washing every 5 to 10 years clears away the accumulated grim, UV surface burning and the old sealant in a few minutes. When power washing be careful not to spray close to the surface or you may cut into the grain of the wood. Once dry, go over any rough spots to smooth out and ready for sealing. You’ll need $2 and 10 minutes to do it. Pick up 2 sheets of sandpaper (one 100 grit and one 220 grit). Go over the spots with 100 grit for ten strokes or so and dust off. Then do the same with the fine 220 grit. Redwood sands easily. Dust off and you’re ready for sealing.

For best results, sand in the direction of the grain (same direction of the growth lines in the wood). For example, on a picnic tabletop, sand in the lengthwise direction of the boards. After sanding, choose any stain/sealant you like. Redwood takes well to most.
