ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE Jacksons Fencing N E W S , T O P I C A L T R E A T S A N D It’s amazing what a bit of imagination can do - with a coat of colourful paint the tool sheds are transformed into stylish changing rooms and general repository for boots etc. Keep your logs aired, covered and tidy with the log store from Jacksons Happy New Year to Everyone! 2014 is here and at the risk of sounding cliché, we can’t believe how 2013 just zoomed by. Maybe it’s because the summer started so late, but no sooner had it started that we seemed to be hurtling towards the end of the year. There have been some horror headlines in the long-range weather forecast that are ‘chilling’ to say the least. Hopefully by the time you are reading this in January they have turned into just scaremongering and the forecasters have got it wrong. It may be a tenuous link, but wintery weather can turn your thoughts to cozy evenings beside a crackling log fire. If you are one of the lucky ones that have a real fire, you may be interested in a new product Jackson’s has just developed: their log store. It’s perfect for placing near your back door and tidily stacking logs in. It is made from Jacksons’ Jakcured softwood, so is guaranteed for 25 years, and has a covered roof, with ventilated sides and floor to aid airing, encouraging your logs to dry out. You can find more info as ever on your local page www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal M O R E . . . Question: When is a tool shed not a tool shed? The answer is simple: when it’s a beach hut! It’s not something that immediately springs to mind, however one of Jacksons’ very clever customers down in Cornwall had the imagination to dream that one up. She had a hot tub on her deck and wasn’t keen on her children (plus their friends) traipsing, and possibly dripping, through the house to get changed, so she came up with the idea of a beach hut. After extensive searching she found Jacksons’ tool sheds, and realised that as the footprint was a reasonable size she could fit two on her deck; the other one is used for dog leads and walking boots, so she keeps her hallway free of clutter and mud too! Brilliant isn’t it? You can see the whole story and other customer projects stories via the link on the local page; there are lots of examples there to inspire you with your own projects.
