Our ‘We Like’ page is where we bring you some beautiful and original ideas for your garden. ‘We Like’ is just that; things the Arbworx team have seen that we like so much, we want to share them with you…

The Gypsy Caravan Company

These gorgeous, hand built Gypsy caravans are fun and practical, and make a delightful feature in any garden or meadow.

Unlike conventional garden buildings, Gypsy caravans can be moved around according to the time of year, or even taken with you if you move.

Inspired by the Victorian ‘Reading’ style Gypsy caravan, they are fully fitted with an extending double bed, seating with lockers underneath, a pull-out table, wardrobe, cupboards, fireplace, bookshelves and a secret den, which children will adore.

Laurence Ward, the genius behind the Gypsy Caravan Company, has loved and worked with these beautiful vehicles for more than 20 years.

He and his family gained so much enjoyment from his own caravan, which stood for many years in the meadow at their home, that they decided to start the Gypsy Caravan Company and design a caravan aimed at giving the same enjoyment to other families.

Today the Gypsy Caravan Company not only makes their own Reading style caravans, but also designs and builds children’s gypsy caravans, restores and sells second hand gypsy caravans, and can also provide their caravans for film and photo shoots.

Deckchair Stripes

We like, we really like, these glorious sun shelters from Deckchair Stripes.

Take a trip back in time to the Edwardian era where leisurely games whiled away the time on a lazy sunny afternoon – think Croquet, Cricket and Lawn Tennis – and bring a touch of timeless elegance to your garden.

No conversation this spring has been complete without at least a passing reference to the recent heatwave, so why not shelter from the unseasonably hot sun in one of Deckchair Stripes’ sun shelters.

They come in eight fabulous designs from the restrained neutral tones of the ‘Billiards’ shelter, to the loud and proud ‘Snooker’ with almost every colour mix in between. Being a fanatic skier myself, my favourite has to be the minty fresh tones of the ‘Skiing’ sun shelter (pictured here).

As their name implies, Deckchair Stripes have attempted to bring back the retro Stripe in all its full English glory but to give it a modern twist and offering an ever increasing range of deckchair canvas along with Interior fabrics, trimmings and accessories for Beach, Home and Garden.

KT Ceramics

Arbworx is delighted to be able to feature these stunning ceramic sculptures and water features by Cornwall based artist, Katrina Trinick.

A graduate of the Central School of Art & Design in London, Katrina has worked with clay for over 30 years and her work has been bought for private collections worldwide.

Taking her inspiration from organic forms such as shells, pebbles, fossils and plants, it is the sea and the seashore that provide the main influences for Katrina’s work.

Her sculptures and water features are sure to appeal to all our customers as they are suitable for the garden, conservatory or even for display as indoor art pieces, although due to their natural forms they are perhaps best placed amidst a planting scheme or near water.

Both the sculptures and water features are hollow, allowing them to be moved easily and providing quick access to the pumps in the water features.
