All of our team put 110% of their hard work into the creation and organisation of our stand. From painting to building and everything in-between.<\/p>\n<p>We painted miniature terracotta pots in 50 different colours, showcasing our \n<a title=\"Exterior Paints\" href=\"\/product-type\/paints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\npaint ranges.<\/a> We finished miniature beehives with vibrant and of course bee friendly wood oils, created three different flooring sections, comprising of exterior decking, interior pine floorboards and a simple OSB (the successor to traditional plywood) floor. We oiled, stained, waxed or varnished every single piece, with products from our ranges of \n<a title=\"Interior Flooring\" href=\"\/project\/floors\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\nfloor<\/a> and \n<a title=\"Decking Finishes\" href=\"\/project\/decking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\ndecking finishes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Through the course of the show we gave away hundreds of goody bags which included samples from suppliers and heaps of information about the products we sell.<\/p>\n<p>We even made a giant Jenga for everyone to play with, and treated it with \n<a title=\"Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment\" href=\"\/product\/barrettine-premier-wood-protective-treatment\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\nBarrettine Wood Protective Treatment<\/a>, which went down a storm with youngsters and adults alike. We even had an interactive demo station for everyone to try out our products to see which they liked best.<\/p>\n<p>We were so lucky to have an amazing three days with great weather, surrounded by wonderful stalls and visited by fantastic customers!<\/p>\n<p>Everything in our stand was hand painted and crafted, which we have now re-purposed in our shop in Folkestone.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you have a wood related DIY project in mind, interior or exterior, and need free expert advice, come and see us in our shop and put one of our \u201cwood wizards\u201d to the test!
