Gardening Season

Work Clothes Swedish Outdoor Lamp Garden Décor and Fences Garden Games Gabion

Work Clothes for the Garden

Cotton Canvas Work Jacket

Rofa – in Bentheim, on the Dutch border – is one of the last textile firms in Germany where everything is done under one roof – no outsourcing! Our clothes are made of strong cotton canvas, a material that ‘breathes’ and absorbs moisture – in other words, ideal for gardening – and which has been pre-washed. » more...

Robust Lightweights: Gardening Tools

Small Hedge Shears

Two things certainly come with owning a garden: first, the obligation to look after plants and lawns all year round and second, in return for all the work, the reward of enjoying a summer out of doors. For the former we have a range of tools on offer suitable for all kinds of gardening tasks and easy to use because of their light weight and extraordinary quality – they won’t wear you out. For example these small hedge shears with their lovely “feel”. The blades are of forged, extra sharp carbon steel and give a very precise cut. They weigh less than 500 grammes and are a real pleasure to use, even after a couple of hours’ shearing. » more...

Gabions. A Bench and a Raised Pond

Raised Gabion Pond

Gabions. Quite simple: stones, wire mesh baskets. Gabions are containers filled with stones of the type often used by landscape gardeners, for example as noise-reducing screens (the ones we use are of 4-mm. thick wire: extra strong).
In time, weeds will take root and various plants will start to climb and twine around the wire meshes; lizards will sun themselves on the stones – and, as we said, the bench will become part of the landscape. So it’s something for the nature-lover with a fairly big garden: not for a terrace or patio. Our raised pond, in turn, will save you having to dig a hole if you plan to improve your garden – even a small one – with a pond. » more...

Transport and Storage of Tools

Tool Box / Stool Aluminium

This garden stool made of sturdy, yet light aluminium can be of use in a lot of different ways. You don’t have to kneel any more to do work on the ground – sit on the stool instead! It’s easy to carry around in the garden – it’s light, compact and has a convenient hand-sized hole at the top. The Manufactum Ash Tool Stand is a piece of furniture and as such will find room for long and short tools alike using the absolute minimum of space. The three bigger compartments take forks and spades with T- or D-shaped handle ends; the six smaller ones are for ordinary long-handled garden tools. » more...

Garden Décor and Fences

For home-owners who appreciate good workmanship and design this natural screen is the perfect alternative to the conventional screening mat available in any chain store. Learn more about our other suggestions for decorating your garden or fencing in plants and ponds: for example our movable metal fence, flexible, multi-purpose and even suitable as shrub support; or the traditional hazel fences. Also on offer: large planting buckets made of oak wood and, for your rambler roses, a durable stainless steel climber trellis. » more...

Irrigation

Spray-Gun with Adjustable Sprinkler System

Learn more about the irrigation appliances, sprinkler stands, and hoses we have in our range. Speaking of which – the cable drum principle (pop musicians have an easier job of it!) serves to tame your garden hose, an unruly monster at best. Our galvanized steel drum will make things easier for you as you can move it around the garden, or fix it near terrace or patio with the attachments provided. The drum comes ready to connect with 15 m of hose on the reel and a shorter connector piece for attaching the water-tap. » more...

Swedish Outdoor Lamps in Brass and Steel

Our range of Swedish outdoor lamps have parts that can be combined in al sorts of interesting ways for wall or standing lights. They’re a truly cheering alternative to the dreary stuff you see in most porches and gardens. Where electro-technology is concerned, the Swedes seem to have something that other nations lack – a combination of fine basic materials – steel tubing and brass in this case – a sense of elegance and style, imagination – and good workmanship. What we have in our range of Swedish lamps is basically a cornucopia of beautiful components and shades that you can put together to suit your own special taste. » more...

Sports and Leisure: Outdoor Games

One question may come up now that spring is in the air and everyone is in high hopes for a long spell of fine weather – where did last summer’s outdoor games, balls, and bowls disappear? Not that closet, garage, or attic might have mopped them up; perhaps they were of such quality that they never found their way there to be stored for next year. Learn more here about the durable alternatives we have on offer. » more...
