• Timber

    Our shelters are built with NZS 3604:2011 compliant timber to ensure safety and quality. This is a New Zealand standard for timber-framed buildings, which means the timber used in the construction of the Peter and Son Pet and Animal Shelter meets high standards of safety and quality. This compliance ensures that the shelters are not only durable and robust but also safe for your pets.

  • Corrugated Iron

    The roofing iron on our shelters is designed to meet New Zealand Building Code standards for a minimum of 15 years, ensuring durability and reliability. 

  • Hardware

    The hardware in the Peter and Son Pet and Animal Shelter is all galvanised. This galvanisation makes the hardware resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring it can withstand outdoor conditions and last for many years.

    The shelter is also seriously braced for long-term durability with joist hangers and nail plates. This professional quality ensures the shelter can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. The shelter is held together very securely, preventing it from shifting or coming apart over time.
