General information

Lance Goodwin, began to build bird tables from his home in Forsbrook, Staffordshire after retiring over 20 years ago. This quickly progressed into fencing, gates and rose-arches being made from rustic wooden poles, and within a year, his products became so admired, a newly found hobby was turned into a small business.

Through further development and innovation in design, Lance built his first garden swing from pressure-treated tanalised wood, instead of using natural rustic poles in favour of a more durable product. With this foundation set, Lance started to exhibit his furniture at local garden shows, which proved to be a great success. Sales flourished and this lead to us joining some of the most prestigious garden events.

We are now one of the country's leading manufacturers of arbours and swings, specialising in fencing, gates and outdoor structures, retailing direct to the public from such places as Hampton Court Flower Show and BBC Gardeners World Live!

We are still a family run business manufacturing from our workshop in Staffordshire, and have a combined experience of over 30 years, designing and making customised arbours and wooden buildings.
