Countryside Furniture Installation
It is important that countryside furniture is not only constructed of the correct material to blend in with its surroundings, whilst being able to withstand heavy use or vandalism, but it should also be installed bearing these factors in mind. Liaison with those who are actually going to be using the furniture is also essential, to ensure its construction and location meets their needs and expectations.
Site Signs and Benches
Site signs - Erection of site signs within a SSSI requires high standards to ensure minimal disturbance and damage to the habitat.
Benches - Installation of benches within SSSI after consulting local community groups in relation to their siting.
Stock Fencing
Following the construction of a new pond within a SSSI designated for GCN, ELM was contracted to install stock fencing to prevent poaching and damage to the pond liner. The pond itself was not constructed by ELM.
Post & Rail Fencing
Following a specification set by The Woodland Trust, this fence was erected to discourage access to the back of residential properties adjoining the Trust site. By carrying out liaison with the residents whilst on site, we were able to enhance the relationship between The Woodland Trust and their neighbours.
