Into the wild UK has been refining the materials used in construction, both internally and externally in order to achieve zero maintenance product. The principal material in the chassis and subframe is painted steel. We avoid the use of sheep’s wool due to moth infestation. Our balconies are galvanised with composite decking. The hinges are made of solid brass so they won’t rust. Our preferred timber for the doors and window is teak wood or Acoya wood. The doors and windows are available in composite. The underside of the shepherd huts are completely sealed against the elements with painted steel metal.
