Garden Equipment FAQs

Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we
receive from those looking to buy garden equipment products in the UK. You can contact our Customer
Service Team or browse our general FAQs for
further advice.

What is the most important tool every gardener should
have?

If you could only have one tool, a trowel is the essential
choice. Whether you're working with rocky soil, clay, raised beds, or pots, I
believe every gardener must have a trowel, without question.

What is a long handled garden tool?

A gardening tool with an extended handle is designed to
eliminate the need for bending during work, minimizing back strain and
enhancing the comfort of gardening. This is particularly beneficial for
gardeners who experience discomfort while kneeling.

How can I light my garden cheaply?

The absence of wiring or a power source makes solar lights
cost-effective to produce and purchase, with no installation costs. Various
light options are available, including post lights, wall lights, step lights,
and lantern lights.

What to look for when buying garden tools? 

When choosing the appropriate garden tool for the task,
consider how it will feel after extended use. Keep in mind that larger tools
tend to be heavier. While larger tools can offer increased efficiency, it's
crucial to select one that won't cause excessive fatigue over prolonged periods
of use.

What is the best long-lasting garden furniture?

For outdoor furniture with long-lasting quality beyond a
single season, opt for robust materials such as teak, acacia, and other
weather-resistant woods. Durable alternatives include cast or wrought aluminum,
as well as all-weather wicker. In the present day, rattan is commonly crafted
from polyethylene, enhancing its durability and minimizing maintenance needs.
Polyethylene rattan is additionally resistant to UV rays and cold weather,
allowing your furniture to withstand outdoor conditions throughout the entire
year.
