OUTDOORLIVING ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE Jacksons Fencing NEWS, TOPICAL TREATS AND MORE... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Many thanks to Brian Hattersley for sending me these great photos of his lovely garden, with the Retreats that he has customised to suit his space. He has also used our Venetian panels along the rest of the boundary to match the ones in the shelter. It’s a New Year—2015! Let’s hope it’s a peaceful and happy one for everyone. If anything, last year seemed to whizz by even faster than the previous one. Yes, I know it’s a sign of age when people say that sort of thing! This time last year the headlines were focussed on the terrible weather the country had over Christmas and into the beginning of the year. There were dreadful floods and bad storms that had caused widespread damage to property. As a result we were busy at Jacksons, not only supplying fencing, but trying to send out helpful info on how to avoid the common mistakes that can result in fences falling over in adverse conditions. At the time of writing this, the weather has been reasonably tame – dare I say it, I may be tempting fate – when you read this in January, we may well have had another disastrous winter. Touch wood that’s not the case, but if it is, rest assured we still have all the helpful advice on our website, so just go to your local page www.jacksonsfencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal, to see all handy links there. So what’s needed is a swift change of direction here, I’m going to lead you away from the possibly gloomy thoughts of bad weather and show you something that will hopefully conjure up sunnier thoughts and happier times.

A very nice man, who was admiring the Retreat shelter we had on our stand. Brian took a leaflet, saying he was very impressed with the Retreat, and said he was going to have one in his own garden, and that he may adapt it to make it a bit larger, as he had the room for probably ‘one and a half Retreats’. He promised me photos of the finished installation. This autumn I was at the same show, when Brian visited our stand again, “I’m nearly finished, I will send you those photos soon," he told me. Well they were definitely worth waiting for. I think you’ll agree? I certainly wouldn’t mind this as my garden. Thanks Brian, for showing us what you can achieve with a Retreat – and a half – and a lot of design genius. Hopefully that will give us Detail of the central paved area and the ingenious water feature focal point. 112 all some inspiration to do something lovely to our own gardens in this new year.
