3 Must-Have Garden Accessories

Here in Britain, we’re lucky enough to be surrounded by a diverse natural landscape, with warm summers, fresh dewy springs and often picturesque winters. However, you don’t always need to venture out in vast fields, woodlands to experience a touch of nature; the habitats and havens sat behind houses and homes present a world of opportunity.

Of course, we’re talking about gardens. For centuries, homeowners’ green spaces have demonstrated the time and care taken in the upkeep of a property. Traditionally, neat front lawns, trimmed hedges and idyllic garden spaces were representative of the perfect home.

As times and fashions have changed, these fairytale gardens are less sought after. However, the pride we take in our homes has not waivered, and a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing garden is something many of us still strive for. If your garden is in need of some love and attention, it could be time for an upgrade.

Here is our guide to 5 must-have garden accessories.

Furniture

First up on our list of must-have garden accessories is an essential for both style and comfort. Well-designed wooden garden furniture can bring any outdoor area to life. By adding a little livability and practicality to your garden with tables, chairs and even a swing seat,  it can become the perfect space to relax, unwind and enjoy a sense of well-earned peace.

Of course, the British weather isn’t the most predictable, so it’s crucial that your furniture is protected from the elements. The surest way to do this is by coating your wooden furniture with a wood protector such as our teak protection formula. Not only will this protect your tables and chairs from rainy days and colder nights, it will also provide UV protection during the hotter summers we are experiencing.

Lighting

Adding a little life to your garden needn’t be an arduous or expensive task. Another means of giving your garden the attention it deserves is by simply adding some well placed lighting. Accessories such as garden candles, fairy lights or solar lamps are a beautiful way of transforming your space into a peaceful environment.

A Sturdy Shed

Finally, no discussion of garden essentials would be complete without an honourable mention to sheds. For those fortunate enough to have the space, a shed is both a practical and traditional addition to any garden. Perfect for housing everything from gardening tools and bbq equipment to bikes and tents, a shed is a great solution to garden storage and a classic piece of garden architecture.

What’s more, painting your shed is a brilliant way to add a touch of colour and personality to your garden. Here at Treatex, we have a huge range of classic colours available, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so your shed can always look its best.
