With the end of the summer already looming, life no doubt already feels like it is picking up pace again. You are back from holiday and it’s immediately time to start thinking about the kids going back to school or off to university.

Shoes, uniforms and stationary are all vital necessities for a start back to school and preparing to go to university brings with it a variety of other things to think about. Good news though; from transport to storage, our Crates help carry the load!

Strong, stackable and equipped with handles for easy carrying, our crates make light work of packing the car for the long journey to a new campus and then keeping things tidy. The Vintage Style Apple Crate is the one for all those extra bits and pieces for Uni. Then our Half Bushel Crate is ideal for keeping School Books and Homework all in one place, hopefully!

And because they can be personalised and/or coloured, they make wonderful gifts for any age.

Here are photographs of the two suggested Crates.

Need a larger crate? No problem! We stock a number of different sizes.

Need a lid or castors? We have got you covered.

Preparing your winter stores

As autumn approaches, we see our little woodland friends starting to gather their stores. From squirrels (when they’ve finished eating your apples!) collecting acorns, to birds flitting about the garden looking for the energy they need to migrate or survive the colder months, now is a good time to start your own winter preparations.

While having a good store of wood in the garden is vital to keep your fire lit, no-one wants to keep trekking out into the cold to gather firewood. Our Log Crates are here to help!

Designed to be small enough to carry when laden, our fantastic Small Log Crates easily store enough wood for an evening’s burning. Of course our larger crates are just as good at storing firewood. Just be sure not to overfill them, as they can get heavy!

These beautiful, rustic crates can be personalised for you or as a gift for friends and family with ‘LOGS’ or maybe your house name added. They look great alongside the fireplace!
