BillyOh 3 x 6 Pent Waney Bike Store - Bicycle Storage

BillyOh 3 x 6 Pent Waney Bike Store – Bicycle Storage was £127.00 now £115.00
3 x 6 20 Pent Waney Bike Store. Bicycles may be a very old invention, but they’re still extremely useful and enjoyable to use to this day. Whether you’re a commuter saving money and the environment with a quick pedal to work every day, or someone who loves taking their mountain bike down dirt tracks at the weekends, your bike is invaluable. So the last thing you want is it getting damaged, worn by the weather or stolen by opportunist thieves. We have the solution. Keep your bike in fantastic condition and hidden safely out of sight with the BillyOh 30 Bike Store. This convenient and elegant pent bike shed is a versatile addition to any garden or yard. Construction . The BillyOh 30 Bike Store is made from attractive overlap boards, which are both stylish and practical. The traditional construction of the building will blend naturally into your garden environment, so if you thought that a storage building would be an eyesore, think again. It’s also easy to erect, typically taking two people less than a couple of hours. Features . This bike store is ideal for storing bikes or scooters, but throw open the wide doors and you will be amazed at what else it will swallow Barbeques, trampolines and other outdoor toys can be securely stowed away during the winter months, ready for action again in the spring. There’s no need to clutter up the house when you could store your occasional-use belongings in the BillyOh 30 Bike Store. Treatment . To help protect the building during construction and transport to you, it has been pre-treated with a base coat of timber preservative treatment. To comply with the guarantee and finish the building in style, we recommend that a further treatment is carried out following construction, and thereafter on an annual basis. This will keep the Bike Store looking great and prolong its life for a long time to come. Flooring Option Explained . As standard, this building will be supplied without a floor. This saves you money and allows you to fully customise the floor and foundation for your building if you’re a DIY expert who knows what you’re doing.. For an easier solution, however, we have two fantastic flooring options available to give your bike store a simple and effective base. You can choose from an Economy Solid Sheet Floor for a budget solution, or a Premium Tongue and Groove Floor that gives you much more strength and durability for storing heavier items. If you need any help with this decision, please contact our experienced sales team on 0800 169 6016.. For our floorless shed base recommendations CLICK HERE . Please note The external eaves and ridge heights will vary slightly dependant on floor option . Manufactured by BillyOh.com.

Barbecue / brazier

Barbecue / brazier was £109.99 now £99.99

This product offers the character of the traditional Indian firepit with a heavy Stainless steel grill for cooking on. Made of iron with a waxed lacquer. After some use the product will rust, which will give the metal a natural protective layer.

Delphinium 'King Arthur Group' (delphinium)

Delphinium ‘King Arthur Group’ (delphinium) £5.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June and July Hardiness: fully hardy Spectacular spires of semi-double, plum-purple flowers, each with a white eye, appear in June and July above deeply lobed, mid-green leaves. These brightly coloured delphiniums look fantastic towards the back of a sunny, well- drained border. Shorter-lived than many other varieties of delphinium, they nonetheless make excellent and long-lasting cut-flowers. Garden care: For best results, plant in an open spot with fertile, freely-draining soil and protect the young foliage against slug and snail damage. During the growing season, apply a seaweed or balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks. While wearing gloves, stake the emerging flower spike with a stout bamboo cane and tie it in as it grows. Cutting back the faded flower stems to a flowering side shoot will help encourage a second flush of flowers.
