OUTDOORLIVING ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE Jacksons Fencing NEWS, TOPICAL TREATS AND MORE... HERE’S A SIMPLE SHELTER THAT MAKES A DELIGHTFUL ‘RETREAT’ IN ANY GARDEN... Venetian-style panels run along the side of the house; the clean lines of the battens have a smart, contemporary feel, allowing light through but also a degree of privacy at the same time. After showing you some of our lovely customer projects over the last few months, to help inspire you with your own garden projects, I thought it was high time I showed you something tempting and suitably summery from the Jacksons' range, which may capture your imagination and make you keen to have something like it in your own outdoor space. And I think this may be it. We created the Retreat shelter a couple of years ago, inspired by a structure in one of our Jacksons' show gardens (The Sanctuary Garden by Joanne Winn). It was a simple garden shelter with a back, one side and a roof, that had the option of having a polycarbonate covering to make it a bit more showerproof – pretty handy with our typical British summers. One of the bonuses with this standard, single unit Retreat is the size; it’ not massive with a modest footprint s of roughly 3.3m wide by 1.9m, but as you can see that’s plenty big enough to accommodate a four-piece garden seating set, including a table. So it’s the sort of size that can nestle easily into a corner of a small courtyard or garden. Feeling more ambitious? You can add to this standard Retreat by adding panels or doubling depth etc. If you want something bigger, have a chat to Jacksons' sales team. The original Retreat was designed with fabulous Venetian panels (simple horizontal slats), whereas this new version Retreat has our new Woven panels, which I think looks even better and creates wonderful light and shade effects when the sun shines through the panels.
