Woodlodge (stand 255) have made their first foray beyond the pots and planters category into outdoor living with a range that includes competitively-priced garden furniture, outdoor heating, firepits and barbecues...

Director Michael Woolridge says the move is in response to customer demand. “We are delivering to garden centres all over the country the whole time and many of them have been asking us about this,” he told SOLEX sun. “So we have designed a range of products that does not compete directly with what is already out there but extends the choice for retailers.”

The starting point for the new range was Woodlodge’s popular Heritage Garden range of planters, now extended into a wider lifestyle theme.

Two styles of furniture are currently offered – cast metal bistro-style sets and a rustic wood range.
