Win a Dog Kennel and 2.5l tin of Wood Paint – COMPETITION CLOSED
In the last of the series of giveaway competitions with Hutton Garden Products this year, you can win this gorgeous Dog Kennel.
This Hutton Dog Kennel is made of high quality pressure-treated timber in a very attractive design. Your dog will be the envy of the neighbourhood in this stylish and attractive dog house!
We’ll also give you a free 2.5 litre tin of Wood Paint to paint it in with a choice of 70 colours and a UV Clear from our colour charts, or 1800 RAL Classic and Design colours!
Although all of Hutton’s products are made from pressure-treated timber (which protects it against rot for many years), you will still need to paint it to protect it against the elements.
Two coats of our wood paint gives you full exterior protection and will keep it looking fabulous for years.
Thorndown Wood Paint is low in odour and VOC, and safe to use around animals, plants and insects. Once it’s dry it won’t leach and with very little odour, your animals or insects can move back into their home as soon as the paint is dry.

Hutton Garden Products manufacture a wonderful range of timber garden products. They are available from garden centres and timber merchants in the south west of England. You can view their full range on their website and call them on 01452 760994 to find out where your nearest stockist is.
We have an abundance of great shed shots and stories to share with you for inspiration for your project.
Thorndown Wood Paint is a popular choice for painting external timber buildings and products as it’s specifically engineered for exterior use. The acrylic resin used is one of the best on the market for water-based paints and creates a hard-wearing water-repellent coating in just 2 coats.
We use exterior grade VOC colour pigments that perform at the highest levels in weather-resistance and lightfast tests, so they don’t crash and fade but stay strong and true for years and years.
Emma Bailey (Instagrammer and YouTuber) shares her shed construction and painting in an entertaining video, so get inspired and plan your makeover or maintenance before winter comes.
Artist Frank Harwood has painted another mural for the Glastonbury Mural Trail with Thorndown Wood Paint.
This stunning new addition to the mural trail can be found on St Benedicts Close on the end wall of a row of terraced houses.
The detailing in the mural is amazing and it’s not surprising it took Frank a lot longer to paint than he’d thought, but he did also have the weather to content with!
Artist and designer Lucy Tiffney has created this amazing mural on the window of Levi’s Soho shop with Thorndown Peelable Glass Paint.
The mural was commissioned to promote the sustainability campaign that Levi’s UK are running in collaboration with Haines Collection. The aim of the campaign is to promote a more sustainable approach to clothes and fashion, re-using and re-purposing old clothes rather than wearing for a season then throwing away.
They have joined forces with 6 designers so you can create bespoke pieces of up-cycled Levi’s clothing, running in-store until 16th August.

The annual trade exhibition for the garden and home leisure industry is back and so are we. Glee takes place from Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th September at the NEC in Birmingham.

New Colours for Somerset Heritage Colour Collection
6 new wood paint colours are being added to the Somerset Heritage Colour Collectionwith 4 pre-released to Garden Answers magazine for their July colour special issue. These 4 new colours are beautiful and subtle heritage tones, from the smokey grey/blue Axe Blue to the silvery grey/green of Tree Lichen. Whey White adds a creamy contrast with Whortleberry bringing a deep and richly intense purple.
Although all 6 colours are being officially launched at the Garden Press Event in 2022, these 4 pre-released colours will be at the show.
New Display Boards for Stockists
Stockists and manufacturers can now display the full range of Thorndown Wood Paint colours to their customers with a choice of two attractive display boards. Both of them display blocks of wood painted with 2 coats of Thorndown wood paint so customers can see exactly what the colours look like. There are two options to choose from with a wall-mounted or counter-top option as shown below.
H&S and Exhibition Info
The organisers of Glee and the NEC have been working very hard to put in place practices for a covid safe visit. For more information on the event please visit the Glee website.
We teamed up with two of our favourite garden magazines to bring you some great voucher giveaways!
TheModern Gardens give-away was a great success with nearly 1400 entries. Two lucky winners received a £50 voucher to redeem at our online shop.
Garden Answers are running a promotion with their readers and subscribers to win another 2 x £50 vouchers for our online shop from 31st March to 27th April.
AND the Forest Garden ProductsMother’s Day giveaway saw a very lucky lady winning a Kitchen Garden Planter and free 750ml tin of Wood Paint.
Due to continued and substantial increases in prices from suppliers of raw materials and packaging, we are having to increase the price of a 2.5 litre tin of Wood Paint.
We have done everything that we can to absorb price increases and have managed to keep all other prices for 150ml and 750ml tins of Wood Paint, all sizes of Peelable Glass Paint and the Stencil Craft Packs at the same great prices. Unfortunately there just wasn’t any room in the 2.5 litre tin of Wood Paint so the price will be increasing from £40.00 to £44.00 as of 1st April 2021. The threshold for free delivery on orders will also be increasing to a minimum spend of £60.00.
At £44.00 for a 2.5 litre tin our Wood Paint still represents great value for money when compared against other premium brands that cost on average between £48.45 to £73.75 for a 2.5 litre tin.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope you continue to enjoy our range of brilliant eco paints!
We have partnered again with one of our favourite manufacturers of quality timber garden products, Hutton, to bring you a series of great giveaways throughout the year. In the spring giveaway you can win a beautiful Planter on Legs for your garden or balcony.
We’ll also give you a free 2.5l tin of Wood Paint in the colour of your choice including UV Clear.
Hutton use pressure-treated timber in all of their products so they’re protected against rot, but you will still need to protect the wood from the elements, so a couple of coats of our Wood Paint will provide it with full exterior protection. We would also recommend painting the inside of the planter then fixing a barrier such as an old plastic compost bag, to stop soil contact from damaging the wood. Visit our Planters page in the Projects section for tips and advice.
The Planter on Legs is the perfect size for a balcony, by a door to provide a floral welcome, or near to the kitchen brimming with herbs for cooking!

Hutton Garden Products manufacture a wonderful range of timber garden products. They are available from garden centres and timber merchants nationwide. You can view their full range on their website and call them on 01452 760994 to find out where your nearest stockist is.
If you want to do some decorating or arts & crafts projects this Easter we would recommend placing your order by midday on Monday 11th April to ensure you get your order in time. Our couriers won’t be delivering on Good Friday 15th April or Easter Monday 17th April.
They will be delivering on Thursday 14th April so if you place an order by midday Wednesday 13th April it will most likely be delivered the next day to you, however we recommend allowing extra time for couriers as they will be busy and packages can miss connections, so this advice should help get your orders to you.
The craft pack contains 4 x 40ml tins of Peelable Glass Paint, 6 Easter themed stencils, and an art brush. The stencils are durable so can be used time and time again over the years to create an Easter window on your shop or home, and to make lots of beautiful gifts or home decor, such as tea light holders and vases from old glass jars and bottles.
Happy Easter!! 🐣
DELIVERY DATES & DETAILS EASTER 2021
We will be closing the offices for Easter from Friday 2nd April to Monday 5th April, re-opening on Tuesday 6th for business as normal.
The couriers will also be taking a well-earned break so please place any orders you’d like delivered for Easter by end of day Monday 29th March.
In February’s issue of Kitchen Garden Magazine there’s an Expert Top Tip in the Get Growing section by your very own Thorndown.
We offered them some advice for their section on garden shed maintenance explaining the importance of adding a water-repellent coating to timber garden buildings to protect against rot.
The magazine is a great read and full of advice for a successful veg and fruit plot, along with lots of other really interesting articles and features.
