From Oak to Acacia - Press Release - July 2010

Grow-your-own specialist, Haxnicks is now using Acacia for the timber frames of their best-selling Hardwood Plant House and Cold Frame. The high quality acacia timber has much to recommend it. It is harder and slightly denser than oak, with a finer grain, and it naturally absorbs less water; all qualities which make it ideal for outdoor use and better suited for the timber frame construction.

The design of the Plant House and Cold Frame has been improved at the same time, with the addition of drainage holes along the front rail of the sloping lids, and pre-fixed door and lid hinges to make self-assembly even easier.

Please view the press release for more details.

Haxnicks Hardwood Plant House (RRP £179.99) and Haxnicks Hardwood Cold Frame (RRP £79.99) are available from garden centres and selected gardening catalogues and websites.
