    Getting started for the summer

    Cladding for Housing and Garden Buildings

    While the weather isn't great for sitting outdoors it does give time for thinking and planning. Now you can price for projects later during the spring and summer.  Demand for "outdoor space" and enjoying the garden continues to increase. We can supply a range of garden buildings and log cabins that can satisfy most situations. However, if you a more bespoke option you might want to design your own solution.  Alternatively several of our Trade customers have become adept at timber frame structures which they have then clad with fibre cement products

    JamesHardie VL CLadding    

    James Hardie have added VL Plank cladding to their fibre cement family of products. Starting with a range of 6 natural colours, and a natural looking cedar texture, this tongue and groove cladding is becoming more popular.

    Autumn and Winter Fencing needs

    Garden Fencing all year round

    The latest "Beast from the East" due in late November 2022 may be averted but wet weather and high winds are a feature of the British climate.  Constant heavy rain followed by high winds will soften the ground and posts become loose - a fatal combination for the garden fence.  It is worth considering your current fencing and whether you will repair or replace your existing fencing style.

    Whatever fence styles you may have you will need to check your existing fence posts, are they loose and is there any rotting just below ground level?  If some posts are rotten then you can use repair spurs or add extra intermediate posts on a featheredge fence run. If you do replace the posts then you may want to invest in
