Jan Sweeney Trex Decking
Jan Sweeney’s lost wax bronze equestrian
and wildlife sculptures can be viewed at
Ascot Spring Show from 13th to 15th April
and Badmington Horse Trials 1st to 6th
May. Trex Company, the world’s No 1 decking
brand, offers a simple and easy way to
build with green materials whilst not
compromising on look and feel.
Jan’s wildlife sculptures are crafted from life
in Zimbabwe, where Jan spends the winters,
even riding a horse in the bush through a
herd of wildebeest whilst working on a wax
stuffed with wet newspaper.
In the UK hares play an important role,
as do horses and dogs. Jan’s passion for
sculpting hares was sparked by a friends
nightly photographic sessions. Jan even kept
a dead hare in her deep-freezer for reference
for a short while!
Jan says “It is the tension and movement
I want to express, the strength and power
ready to explode! “
Clay sculpture workshops available.

French gates specialist expands
into the UK
A Stockport firm has become the exclusive
UK distributor for premium French gates
manufacturer Horizal.
With high-definition wood grain patterns
and rich, saturated colours inspired by the
outdoors, Trex composite decking looks
natural and boasts a vibrancy that remains
unchanged for years. Country Gates & Barriers is now recruiting
a network of 100 installers, known as
‘Portaliers’, for Horizal products across the
country. It has also invested £100,000 on a
showroom to showcase the range.
Made of more than 95% recycled materials,
Trex composite decking provides the
look and feel of real wood, without the
environmental impact. Managing director Nick Corbett said: “We
have already had a lot of firms interested in
becoming Portaliers, and we are confident
Horizal’s products will receive a warm
welcome here.”
Trex resists fading, scratching and mould
growth so, unlike wooden decking, it won’t
rot, warp, crack, split or splinter.
Composite decking is also splinter-
free, making it a much safer and more
comfortable decking choice for all families.

information on Trex products.
Fabrice Marchand, sales and marketing
director for Horizal, added: “We are thrilled
to be working with Country Gates &
Barriers, which has an excellent reputation
in the field.”

Global Stone Keder Greenhouse Satisfaction built on tradition.
Global Stone is an industry leading supplier
of premium natural stone and porcelain
paving. We pride ourselves on selecting all
our paving by hand to ensure it is always of
the highest quality. Keder Greenhouses have been established
for over 20 years. We offer the proven next
generation in super strong, wind resistant
protected growing environments as an
alternative to glasshouses or polytunnels.
We use a layered bubble plastic laminate
material that has been specifically developed
to combine fantastic light transmission
(which produces a scattering of light)
allowing the growing environment to be
evenly lit, without shadows and gives
exceptional heat insulation. A pool can be designed to meet your every
desire, be that a classic or minimalist
design, and now you can have one of the
most stylish and efficient types available – a
stainless steel pool!
Curated by experts, our products are used
by architects, landscapers, designers and
homeowners alike and regularly feature in
medal winning show gardens.
Evolving from a simple collection of natural
paving, our ranges have grown to include
the latest in contemporary porcelain paving
in a spectrum of colours and textures.
For over 15 years Global Stone has been the
brand to trust.
We believe in providing our customers with
a high level of service as well as a beautiful
variety of products that will look good for
years to come.

A modern, timeless material used widely in
interior design, stainless steel complements
all types of homes, blending perfectly with
different materials.
An outstanding feature of stainless steel
pools is that they can be built faster than
you might expect.
Using prefabricated stainless steel pool
material and technology enables the
pool to be built in less time than it takes
using conventional construction methods.
Stainless steel pools are extremely durable
and lower on maintenance.
Stylish and upmarket.
