A benchmark for garden benches

Posted on November 26th, 2009

Here’s a very simple classic basic very similar to the traditional Park bench and because it is made using pressure treated timbers, this bench will last a very long time. Not surprising therefore that this very popular and very affordable (around € 200.00) garden bench with such good looks and very comfortable seating  has become a benchmark for garden bench seating.

Available flatpacked or assembled from our GARDENSTUDIO in Terenure.

BLOOM 2009 – a blooming success

Posted on June 1st, 2009

This years’ event the third in succession is certain to exceed all expectations. The weather has been magnificent and the paying public have come in droves. On Sunday alone the attendance figures were in excess of 18,000 and by the end of the show on Monday in excess of 60,00 visitors will have attended. 

As one of many particpating exhibitors, BLOOM 2009 has proved to have been an enormously successful event, and visitor interest in garden products contrasting starkly to some pre-event concerns that the current economic conditions and recessionary fears would have a significant dampening effect. Not so, the level of interest and purchases made by visitors at BLOOM 2009 was simply overwhelming and dispelled any evidence of recession.

We featured a cross selection of products from our GARDENSTUDIO and all proving very popular. Not surprising, there was great interest in our Victorian Summerhouses, TITAN stainless steel water features and of course our range of ORB Swing seats.

From the moment doors opened at 10.00am right throughout the day to closing time at 6.00pm, there was a consistent heavy traffic of visitors to our stand effectively resulting in opportunities for any break to be few and far. This has been very much the case since the show started last Thursday! Monday is the final day it will no doubt be as busy as previous days and one could be confident that it might in fact be the busiest of all days.

Although the fine almost Mediterranean type weather has been a contributory factor in the success of this years’ event, there is no doubt that the organisers and exhibitors have also made great efforts to make this year’s show better than ever. Ultimately great thanks and acknowledgement must be made to the paying public who once again  demonstrated clearly in their tens of thousands that under the right circumstances taht there is considerable demand and interest in gardening and that over the last few days at least there was little evidence of any recessionary gloom.

Here are some photos of our product exhibits taken just before show opened on Sunday. I would also like to congratulate Eddie O’Brien, the Entrepeneur and inventor of  The Hangout Gazebo Clothesline (as featured on RTE’s Dragons Den) who co-exhibited on our stand with great success. The Hangout is an outstanding example of Irish enterprise and innovation and was hugely popular with visitors to BLOOM 2009.  Not surprising when you consider some of the Hangout’s product attributes including energy and cost savings, environmental friendly, multifunctional all weather clothesline which is also a useful garden centrepiece and ideal for a variety of garden entertainment activities. Congratulations and well done again Eddie who is seen demonstrating hanging clothes using the Hangout.

A sturdy Garden bench that’s built for comfort and durability

Posted on May 25th, 2009

Looking for a comfortable, hardwearing garden seat/bench but one that is very good value and requires little maintenance ? Well here’s a design  which is influenced by the style of the classic Park bench and because of it’s excellent ergonomic profiling is also very comfortable to sit on. Produced from pressure treated spruce it is tough enough to withstand  all that the traditional Irish weather can offer and go on doing so for 20+ years and more.

At 1800mm long (6′ 0″) there’s plenty of sitting space for at least 3 adults. Available in two formats (flat pack and ready assembled) with  prices starting at € 235.00 (incl VAT) offering great value for money. So no more need to worry about annual painting or staining, simply admire the timber hues as they gracefully turn a silver grey in time and leaving you more time to enjoy the garden from the comfort of a sturdy bench.

So whether you prefer to put the feet up or sit up, there’s hardly a more comfortable and affordable hardwearing alternative to this classic style Park bench. 

The product comes complete with an easy to follow assembly instruction and all timbers are pre-drilled which means that with the help of a cordless driver, the unit can be assembled in a little over 10 mins.

The product will be available for sale from our exhibition stand (Outdoor Retail Area, Stand Nrs # 35, # 36,  & # 37) at the BLOOM 2009 Garden Festival, 28 May - 1 June 2009 as well as from ‘Owen Chubb GardenStudio’  in Terenure, Dublin 6W. Delivery and Assembly services are also available (extra charges may apply).
