A speedy solution for queuing in comfort

Industry construction experts Fordingbridge have introduced their latest product designed specifically to aid the Garden Centre industry.

 

 

Having consulted with customers and having heard the strains they are currently facing with regards to allowing for safe social distancing, the firm have developed a new product to provide a solution now, which can also be repurposed for future use. Their new walkway system provides a bright, weather protected area for your customers with no need for any groundworks. It is not only efficient and quick to install, but also flexible for the future.

 

Once its requirements as a walkway have passed, the 5m sections of the structure can be redeployed and permanently positioned elsewhere in the store. You may join them together for a covered plant area, you may use it as a trolley or cycle store; the choice is yours.

 

 

The walkway uses unique ‘Flowerpot Foundations”; designed specifically for quick, temporary installation with no need to reinstate any groundworks once removed. Covered in artificial grass, the top of the ‘Pot’ is left open to plant up with your latest plant stock, creating not only a warm welcome for shoppers, but also providing you a fantastic merchandising opportunity.

 

The 3m span of the roof  is covered by their industry-favourite Opal 60 fabric, so you can be assured the area will be bright and well protected, but with reduced UV for your customers comfort and safety. The customer facing gable end of the canopy can also be branded with your logo, to add further to the welcome.

 

Fordingbridge have designed the walkway in both steel and timber options and are currently taking orders for delivery.
