Introduction
Recently a few of my co-workers in Tuin, as well as myself, traveled to Holland again. We took a trip to Tuindeco and hear about their developments over the past year. And once again, their new developments blew me away. Some of which I will talk about in this blog post.
It started off with the usual ferry ride and the drive to Coevorden, and although the ferry ride was bumpy. I was lucky to catch the long straw, which allowed me to read during the whole journey. Once we got there, Tuindeco informed us of recent developments, as well as viewing their latest showsite design.
Every year Tuindeco grows, especially in a physical form. For example, this video below shows their latest build project of two new warehouses. Both are massive in size, allowing them to build up stock in these quieter winter months. The development of these warehouses plan to be finish early next year, ready for the spring and summer season.
And even with their developments of new warehouses, their current ones are still striving. With various techniques put into place to ensure the quality standards of our products.
Tuindeco’s Warehouses
Industrial power fans have been placed around the Larch timber in order to keep them nice and dry in the rainy months – Preventing the signs of weathering and the possible chance of mould growing.
Along with new packaging styles that are being tested, such as this crate-like structure around the Edelweiss log cabin package, hopefully reducing the probability of the log cabin getting damaged during transit.
During our trip to Tuindeco driving around their warehouses, we spotted something in the distance. So bright that no one could miss it… It turned out to be a Tuindeco minivan, a promotional vehicle for their 25 year anniversary, and although the weather doesn’t match the brightness of this minivan- It certainly brightened up our day!
Tuindeco’s Showsite
After this tour we all went our separate ways in order to do the tasks we came here to do. My task was all about their show site. Armed with a 360° camera, I was able to capture and put together a 360° showsite walkthrough. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and the showsite was in the middle of upgrading for the new season- But there is still plenty to see, you can find and use the walkthrough on our Tuin in pictures page! Along with a walkthrough of our showsite that’s based in Brooke, Norfolk.
What is envious about the Tuindeco showsite is the amount of space they’re able to use, in fact, they even had to room for one of our longest buildings at 14m – The Slane Log Cabin! Stunning in person, but I also captured a 360° walkthrough of the cabin, which can be found under the video tab of the product page.
Alongside this giant of a Log Cabin – They also a selection of our Larch Garden Buildings. One of each roof type in fact, along with a sneak peek at the new furniture additions for next year’s catalogue:
A traditional style for roof type, Our Larch Apex roof garden building range starts first with the basic structure and then various modules can be added to it to create walls, infills, extensions etc.
A roof type inspired by barns – The asymmetrical apex roof larch timber comes from well managed forest and is one of the most durable softwood species. It has a very warm colour and texture.
Or for something more modern in style – The pent roof larch garden buildings. Available in two cladding colours: standard Larch and pre-painted black Larch
Though admittedly, a helper distracted me a few times…
But who wouldn’t be? Nevertheless, the the trip to Tuindeco was a success in my eyes. Plenty of pictures taken plus the creation of two 360° walkthrough tours, the consumption of Bitterballen and dog petting. It’s hard to list any of that as a fail. Feel free to let us know your opinion of the new walkthrough tours by commenting on this post.
