# A wet day should not _empty_ the park.

In Wales, the weather decides how long people stay and what they spend while they are there. We design, make and install covered seating, BBQ shelters, kiosks and bespoke timber structures for holiday parks, campsites, glamping sites and attractions, all made in our own factory and installed by our own team.

Making since 2006 Bespoke, not catalogue Design, manufacture and install in‑house Built for year-round outdoor use Five year workmanship guarantee

[ What it changes ]

## Somewhere for guests to go when it _rains_

### Rain stops being the end of the day.

A covered area means families stay on site instead of packing up at lunchtime. Every hour they stay is an hour they might spend money.

### Your photographs do the selling.

People book from pictures. A handsome timber structure earns its money twice, once from the people using it and once from the people who booked because of it.

### It still looks right in year five.

Anything outdoors on a Welsh site has a hard life. Solid timber, proper fixings and a finish that can be refreshed, so it ages rather than falls apart.

[ Bespoke by default ]

## Nothing here came out of a _catalogue._

Every site is a different shape, with a different view and a different idea behind it. We draw and make everything ourselves in Ystrad Mynach, so what goes in is built around your space rather than ordered from a page of standard sizes.

That also means we can match what you already have, whether that is the cladding on your reception or the timber on your pods, so a new structure looks like it belongs rather than like it arrived on a lorry.

[ What we build for leisure and tourism ]

## Made for sites that live _outdoors._

### Covered seating and shelters

Somewhere for guests to sit out a shower without going back to the caravan.

### BBQ and picnic shelters

A covered spot for families to cook and eat together.

### Receptions, bars and kiosks

Timber buildings for check-in, a garden bar, coffee or an ice cream hatch.

### Glamping pods, cabins and huts

Built in our workshop and delivered to your site.

### Arbours and corner seats

A corner seat with a trellis roof, for a quiet spot in the grounds.

### Benches and viewpoint seating

Solid timber benches, set where the view is.

### Picnic benches and tables

Outdoor seating that takes a full season.

### Signage and waymarkers

Carved oak entrance signs that tell visitors they have arrived.

### Fingerposts and trail markers

Oak fingerposts pointing the way along a route, bilingual as standard.

### Information and car park signs

Bilingual signs with information panels, built to stand in the open.

### Interpretation boards

Welcome boards and site maps, in a carved timber frame that stands up to the weather.

### Footbridges and boardwalks

Getting visitors across wet ground and keeping them on the path.

### Visitor centre fittings

Oak housings for interpretation and touchscreens, built to fit the room.

### Play areas

Natural timber play that settles into a park setting.

### Trim trails and activity courses

Balance beams, rope traverses and climbing frames, laid out as a circuit.

### Bespoke commissions

Tell us the idea and we will come and look at the space.

[ Metal fabrication ]

## One contractor for the timber and _the metal_

We have our own metal fabrication and welding shop, so the metalwork that goes with a timber job is made by the same team in the same building. There is no subcontractor and no waiting on someone else's schedule. If you have something in mind that mixes the two, tell us and we will come and look at it.

[ Working on your site ]

## Safe hands on a _live site._

Most sites would rather have us in out of season than in the middle of August. Here is what you need to know before you book us in.

### Public liability insurance

£5 million, with Chiswell Insurance.

### DBS checked installers

Yes. Our installers are DBS checked.

### When we can install

We can install almost any week of the year, so we can work around your season rather than in the middle of it.

### Risk assessments and method statements

Available on request.

### Site safety and segregation

We fence off the work area to restrict access to the installation site for the whole job.

### Guarantee on our work

Five year workmanship guarantee

[ Leisure and tourism projects ]
