Landscaping & External Works 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.

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. Visit https://uk.trex.com for more 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.” For more information, call 0161 406 5910, or visit www.horizal.co.uk or www.countrygatesandbarriers.co.uk Global Stone Keder Greenhouse Satisfaction built on tradition.
