Hi Ian,

Just wanted to let you know that my item arrived safely this afternoon.

Wow! the bench is even more gorgeous than your stunning photos in the listing. 
My son put the bench together for me and remarked on how easy it was for him…and quick to assemble too.

We even had the weather on our sjde to be able to enjoy an hour relaxing on the bench (it was raining this morning). The bench is VERY comfortable. I love the quality of craftsmanship and the beautiful type of wood used. as well as the actual design (Churchill)…. a huge thank you to whoever designed and made it : )

Thank you for such a wonderful purchase and easy transaction.
Huge hugs to you and your team,
Much love,
Elizabeth

Dear Ian Firstly I would like to thank you for your very prompt delivery , less than 24 hours after ordering.Secondly my husband said he was very impressed with the way the arch was packaged for transport. It arrived with no damage.Hubby has now assembled it and it will be placed in its new position on Saturday. Thank you once again .Kind regardsVicki Jacques 

This is a very late follow-up for this delivery,  but I just had to express my thanks and to say how very satisfied we are with it, attractive and well finished. In complete contrast to my previous one. I would also like to add that the delivery man was extremely helpful, taking time and putting it exactly where I needed it. It arrived just before the lockdown!!and it’s been put to full use ever since. Ideal for a couple in their 80sAgain, many thanks,David Thomson

Dear sirs,  Wanted to give you a five star rating,for your quick service,and guality of your product.Yours Thankfuly  Robert Fowler.

Comment: 
Received my trough yesterday, I am delighted with it. The quality is superb, and I am glad it arrived already completed. I have been searching many companies online and I have to say this is brilliant. Recommend this to anybody, and would definitely order from Simply wood again. Many Thanks

Dear Mr Thirsk,
I am delighted with my garden bench which arrived within 36hrs of order and was very well packed the assembly time was a bit optimistic but with the help of my daughter (she did most of the work) we finally succeeded.
I noticed the bench will require treating what do you recommend and what colour or is it clear.
Yours.
Pat

Good evening I hope well.
Thank you again for your order, a lovely bench.
Sounds like your daughter really helped out, that’s really nice.
At the moment there is no need to stain, however in time it is worth looking after and staining will really help.
Here is the advice we usually give:-
For aftercare, please just apply a water based wood stain (colour of your choice), or just natural, you can purchase from any good DIY store. Wash your bench down with some soapy water, rinse off, dry, no need to sand (however you can give a gentle sand if necessary) and then just slosh the stain on with a rag or brush, it takes just minutes to do this. Ideally do this before a hot summer and again before the winter especially if keeping outside. If you do this your bench will remain looking new and fresh. Possibly worth applying some now.

I hope this helps.

Enjoy the rest of  day and take care.

Regards

Ian

BBQ Shelter Roof Waterproofing

Morning Ian,

As promised please find attached a few photos of the BBQ Shelter with
shingled roof.

I finished it on Sunday just as the heavens opened, the rain lasting through
to Tuesday,  it has therefore had its weather proofing capabilities tested
with immediate effect. The sun having finally come out again, I have been
able to take the pictures. 
You can see from the first pic. (which is a night shot from yesterday
evening), having the electrics and lighting in place, why I was reluctant to
replace the roof.

I had to add extra pieces of timber on the ends to be able to bring the
under felt down so that a) it looks finished and b) any water drains off
without getting into the structure.

As previously mentioned the shingles were purchased from The Roofing
Superstore and were IKO Armourshield Hexagonal Roofing Shingles (Granite
Grey). Again as I previously mentioned, according to what I found online,
this particular range is lighter in weight being fibre glass based.

I must say it does look good, but it also brings a down side, it has made
the roof on our summerhouse look very shabby, so it seems I have another
job!

Once again many thanks for all your help. It goes without saying that I
would have no problem recommending your company, indeed I already have to
friends that saw the installation yesterday.

Kind regards

Roger

I received my Hampton 4ft bench last night 23/06/20 and would just like to say how thrilled I am with this product.  It is a lovely size and beautiful quality.  I will now be able to spend many happy hours sitting to watch my pets in comfort and not on the grass!  Many thanks to you all and may I also say Thank-you for the good communication and to the brilliant, smiling, cheerful delivery driver from Yodel.I will be recommending your company to all of my family and friends for future use.
Emma Allen.  one very happy customer.
