George Barker and Sons

We have been trading as a family since 1858. Despite many changes in our business activities we have always been involved with timber in one way or another from producing swill baskets to the manufacture of summer houses and Japanese bridges!

The range of timber garden furniture and structures, manufactured in our workshop, has been developed to enhance your garden leisure lifestyle by providing you with solutions for outdoor living. The timber used in our manufacturing processes is a joinery quality redwood, which has been vacuum pressure treated for a long useful, life in the outdoors.

Other products have been selected for their quality and design led features, which are aimed at improving leisure time in your garden.

We hope you enjoy browsing this site. Please check out the special offer page for the monthly deals on a selection of our products.
