Churnet Valley Garden Furniture

Wooden garden furniture and buildings made in the Staffordshire Moorlands

Churnet Valley Garden Furniture is a family business based in the Staffordshire Moorlands, where it runs a large workshop producing wooden furniture of various kinds. The company describes more than 50 years of combined carpentry experience, combined with what it presents as engineering precision and a design sensibility, as the basis for its range. Its activity covers both the design and the build of the products it sells, and it also supplies the trade.

The catalogue is organised around outdoor living: seating and dining, garden buildings, structures such as pergolas and arbours, storage, planters and growing equipment, fencing and gates, timber, and market chalets. The company states that its furniture is British-made and built by specialist teams.

Garden furniture and seating

The furniture line includes garden benches and chairs, loveseats and companion sets, picnic tables and table sets. Swings and arbours form a separate group, with garden swings and garden arbours. Among the featured items, the site listed an Antoinette Swinging Hammock at £549.00 under reference SW102 at the time of compiling this profile.

Accessories and care products complete this area: garden furniture accessories, parasols, seat cushions and aftercare and timber oil.

Garden buildings: sheds, summerhouses and other structures

The buildings range covers garden sheds in pent, apex, potting, tool and bike versions, along with base frames. Summerhouses are offered in pent and apex designs, plus shed and summerhouse combinations. The catalogue also lists garden rooms, log cabins and playhouses.

Beyond the classic buildings, the company sells BBQ shelters, garden bars and smoking shelters, grouped with pergolas, arches, gazebos and pavilions under its structures line.

Outdoor storage, planters and growing

Storage products include outdoor storage boxes, log stores, bin and recycling storage, and tool and tall storage. The company presents its pressure-treated timber storage as resistant to rot for up to 20 years, a durability claim made in its own promotional copy.

For growing, the range includes planters and troughs, raised beds, potting tables and sheds, trellis and potting sheds. A separate section covers birds and pets, with bird tables and feeders and dog kennels. Fencing and gates are also part of the offer, as are pressure-treated redwood, sawn timber, decking products and cladding products.

Market chalets and event hire

Market chalets, market bars and kiosks are produced by hand in Staffordshire from FSC-certified Scandinavian redwood, according to the company. It presents them as suitable for Christmas markets, food festivals, major sporting events and private parties. The chalets are also available for hire for weddings, Christmas markets and similar events.

Timber sourcing and treatment

The company holds FSC certification, which it says followed a rigorous evaluation process to demonstrate adherence to forest management standards. Its furniture is made from pressure-treated timber, a process in which preservatives are forced deep into the wood fibres to increase durability. The business presents sustainability of sourcing and the treatment of the wood as two central characteristics of its production.
