Our First Conservatory
Our first ever conservatory is pictured below. The prefabricated wall panels were very similar to the walls we manufactured for our summerhouses. The roof was corrugated PVC.
Venture Farm Cat Rescue is a non profit charity based in Norfolk. It is run by volunteers and re-homes hundreds of cats every year. We have been delighted to supply Venture Farm with a wide range of our garden buildings and outdoor furniture over the years. The cats appreciate a comfortable seat or a cosy haven, just like our other customers.

Log Cabins at Venture Farm
Many of our log cabins can be used as sleeping accommodation by people or cats. The log cabins pictured below were delivered on a lorry with a truck-mounted crane and a helpful driver. Next, they were professionally installed by one of our specialist teams of cabin fitters. Then volunteers at Venture Farm painted the cabins and fitted them out for the comfort of their guests. Finally, our permeable eco-grid pavers were laid in front of the cabins to keep the mud out and prevent the ground from becoming a quagmire when it rains.
We also supplied the circular tree seat and the plastic kennels which can be seen in some of the images.

Garden Benches at Venture Farm
Our chunky pressure treated garden furniture is a hit with many customers including the guests at Venture Farm. By the way, you are not mistaken, that is a peacock sitting on our bench!
Although we offer a wide choice of picnic benches, the one pictured below has been discontinued.
Click here to see our Pressure Treated Bench 210, which is pictured below. It is one of our best selling garden benches.
Click here to see our Circular Tree Seat 227, which is also pictured below. It seems to be the star attraction for the cats.

Sheds at Venture Farm
Examples of our Pent Shed 111 are pictured below. It is a strong and attractive shed with distinctive and practical Georgian glazing - the small glass panes are surprisingly hard to break. With cat-flaps fitted, these 3 sheds are in use as accommodation for cats. Our Pent Shed 111 includes free fitting and preservative treatment, which the Venture Farm volunteers have painted over in 3 exciting colours.

Gazebo at Venture Farm
Many of our larger gazebos are used as a sheltered dining area in pubs and restaurants around the country. Our Gazebo 424 is smaller but it seems to suit smaller diners just as well.

Porous Plastic Paving Grids at Venture Farm
We have supplied a lot of our porous eco-grid paving to Venture Farm, which has been very useful. The fields quickly become wet and boggy so our eco-grid pavers are used very effectively in high traffic areas. We supply our recycled plastic eco-grid pavers to the public as permeable driveways which comply with modern planning requirements and also as a base for many of our sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, gazebos and greenhouses.

Pressure Treated Sheds at Venture Farm
Examples of our pressure treated Pent Shed 138 are pictured below. These are delivered on a pallet within just a few days for simple DIY assembly. The Venture Farm volunteers wrote to confirm that it is easy to install. These sheds have been fitted out with bales of straw to make a comfy den for cats, which is just one of many ways Venture Farm look after the wellbeing of their feline guests.

Dog Kennels at Venture Farm
And last but not least, not many people know that cats love a dog kennel - as long as it is unoccupied! The cats at Venture Farm are no exception with 6 of our plastic dog kennels scattered around the site to provide a cosy sanctuary. Although the kennel pictured below has been discontinued we offer a choice of pet houses including kennels.

3 Log Cabins at a 5 Star Hotel in Tuscany
The pictures below show a project we carried out to supply 3 magnificent octagonal log cabins for a luxury 5 star hotel near Siena in Tuscany, Italy.
Set in the Tuscan countryside in a 13th-century villa with murals and antique furnishings, the elegant, individually decorated rooms include modern conveniences such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Some of the sumptuous rooms include fireplaces, and suites include living rooms, private gardens and terraces, private outdoor pools and free-standing tubs. Amenities include 2 restaurants, a bar and a wine cellar, as well as landscaped gardens and a luxury spa. There's also a music room and a library, as well as cooking classes and a resident artist offering lessons. The hotel is a popular wedding venue.
With several hundred acres of farmland and vineyards, this extraordinary hotel grows much of its own food and herbs - and even produces fine wines!
Awarded a Michelin Key as "a very special place to stay" the guide suggests that "if you silence your mobile phone and hide the eminently hideable flat-screen television, you could just about convince yourself you're living in the Renaissance" and "the rooms and suites are the equal of any resort hotel in terms of comfort, and in character they're miles beyond — if you want a taste of old-world Italian aristocracy, this is where you'll find it."
The log cabins are situated in the grounds of the hotel. One is located near the kitchen and used for preparing herbs and other ingredients grown within the estate.
The log cabin pictured here is a well equipped art studio for resident artists and guests.

A Commercial Greenhouse at Norwich City College
The pictures below show a magnificent greenhouse which we installed at a college in Norfolk. This twin apex greenhouse is over 80' long and features a central box gutter, 42 automatically opening roof vents and 10mm thick safe and durable multiwall polycarbonate glazing. This high tech greenhouse is used all year round as a comfortable classroom but also for growing high quality plants on a commercial scale. Many of the plants which grace the roundabouts in and around Norwich start their life in this greenhouse, which is well equipped with a supply of mains water, rainwater, electricity and heating. Rainwater is harvested from the roof and stored in underground tanks. It is one of the most complex greenhouse we have ever built. We supervised all aspects of the construction including the groundworks and installation.
