Garden Ornaments in Coventry

Gardens in Coventry have their own rules, and the ornaments that last here reflect that. Coventry gardens are largely suburban and inland, with frost that settles on still nights. Spend a wet afternoon at the War Memorial Park and you get a fair idea of which materials are still standing after a few seasons.

What lasts in Coventry gardens

• Frost-proof materials only. Water gets into porous material, freezes and splits it. Cast stone and stone-effect resin handle repeated freeze-thaw; hollow ceramic and unglazed terracotta often do not. Empty any water feature before a hard freeze.
• Build upwards when floor space is short. Fences, walls and pergolas are the unused acreage of a small garden. Hanging ornaments and wall art put decoration where nobody is walking.

We only stock pieces we would leave out ourselves through a The Midlands winter: stone-effect resin, cast stone, coated metal, treated timber and solar that keeps working when the days are short.
