How to create a stylish<br />
hideaway in your garden<br />
Early spring is the perfect time to start planning a garden<br />
makeover. It’s exciting thinking about what changes you can make<br />
to your outside space. Something to keep in mind is making sure<br />
you move fast, so you can complete your project in plenty of time to<br />
fully enjoy the summer.<br />
One of the things that can make a huge difference to the time you<br />
spend in the garden is to create a structure or shelter. This not only<br />
adds an interesting visual element, but obviously has a use as a<br />
handy outdoor room.<br />
TV programmes like George Clarke’s ‘Amazing Spaces’ and ‘Shed of<br />
the Year’ have broadened our minds to the potential of existing<br />
structures like chalets, caravans, sheds and even shepherd huts, that<br />
can be ‘up-cycled’ to make a quirky haven in the garden, where we<br />
can relax, entertain friends and family, or spend time on our own<br />
hobbies and pastimes.<br />
However, not everyone has the time, money or imagination to<br />
conceive of renovating a shed that’s already in situ, or making<br />
something from scratch. Perhaps this is where the smart choice is<br />
investing in a ready-made structure like the Retreat or the fantastic<br />
new Curve from Jacksons Fencing.<br />
The Curve is a sleek and simple structure - one continuous curve<br />
arching gracefully from the ground. There’s no need for posts, with<br />
this seemingly gravity-defying contemporary garden shelter. It’s<br />
fastened securely to the ground with three strong steel blades that<br />
are dug in on each side.<br />
The generous interior space is big enough to set up a dining area,<br />
leaving ample room for a chill out zone. This is enhanced by the<br />
unusual effects produced by sunlight shining through the<br />
horizontal slats, which creates a calming setting for relaxing in.<br />
The clear polycarbonate sheets covering the panels, lend the<br />
Curve a shower-proof quality, and this also adds some protection<br />
from the wind.<br />
If you are looking for something a little smaller the Retreat is<br />
available in two styles; one with the original Venetian-style infill<br />
panels, the same as Jacksons very popular panels of the same<br />
name and the other version has the new woven infill panels,<br />
which gives it a very different look (shown below).<br />
As with all their products, Jacksons garden shelters are hand<br />
made in England from Jakcured timber guaranteed for 25 years,<br />
so you can enjoy them for many years to come. Find out more by<br />
