Insulated Steel Building
for a Garden Centre

This curved roof composite deck insulated extension to the sales area was designed and built in record time, just three months from concept to completion, in readiness for the crucial Spring 2006 sales season.

The whole project was designed, built and finished on time and within budget working closely with the client and PGA Project Management.

In the constantly changing Garden Centre industry, Fordingbridge Specialist structures serve several purposes.

Pleasing timber entrance canopies and walkways guide customers to plant sales areas and indeed some double as all weather retail sales areas with plants on either side.

Wide span steel canopies are ideal for creating a protective and controlled environment in which to grow and nurture plants for retail sales.

Open sided wide span steel canopies protect customers from inclement weather conditions, facilitating continued sales throughout the garden season.

The increase in demand by the Garden Centre industry to keep the customers within the confines of the Garden Centre complex has resulted in a growth in sales of Fordingbridge insulated buildings for use as light airy cafeteria and as retail sales areas for household goods.

Indeed some Garden Centres carefully link a combination of Fordingbridge Specialist Structures to subtly guide their visitors around through a network of Canopies, Walkways, and Insulated Buildings.

In this way our canopies, walkways, link walkways and insulated buildings encourage customers to not only shop for plants but to browse around retail sales areas, to rest for snacks in cafeteria and browse again, thereby greatly increasing sales potential.

It can be seen then that Fordingbridge Specialist Structures can be used in garden centres for:

Cafeteria
Entrance canopies
Entrance porches
Farm shops
Plant sales areas
Retail sales areas
Sheltered walkways
