As keen gardeners themsleves, GardenSkill soon realised that what many gardeners wanted were products like the Build-a-Ball - products that were simple, well-made and "did what they said on the tin". So they started to make not just the balls but the fruit cages to go along with them - tubes, pegs, garden netting, the whole shebang. Keeping the family name, they called it the Build-a-Cage. Quick to build, weatherproof and fully extendable, the Build-a-Cage is still one of their most popular ranges.
Starting with a simple pop up fruit cage for strawberries, their range grew to include pop up cloches, pop up frost covers, pop up greenhouses and pop up insect guards in a huge range of sizes for growing - well... pretty much everything! They are now probably the largest supplier of pop up garden products in the world, so very much still a big part of what they do.
GardenSkill's range has broadened to include raised beds, grow tunnels, slug control, garden tools, plant drainage systems, organic fertilisers and more. They're constantly developing new products to try and make fruit & veg growing - and gardening in general - an easier and more straightforward pursuit. They have some exciting innovations in the pipeline over the coming year - so watch this space!
