Price of benches ?

[James1979]

^^^^^ Yes and no. If you can sell one quality bench to one person and they really enthuse to their mates when they are next round for a BBQ you will soon be supplying benches for the entire golf club comity or village council you just need to crack that first sale to a local influencer.(modern parlance but they have been at it long before social media)

What I was getting at but better put

It’s how mine get sold mainly, word of mouth.

There’s a guy here who started sheds when he got furloughed. They’re twice the price as anywhere else but they are proven to stand up to Orkney weather and they’re a quality bit of kit. Once he sold a few he’s stacked out with orders. Does that full time now.

so it can be done but it’s a long game

I wonder about liability insurance etc on things like these. If you build it you are the design authority. If anything happens you would need good insurance to fight any claim against you?

I have product liability but considering what I do elsewhere they pretty much laughed when I added it to the policy!

terminating wire ropes for shipping is more risky than making garden stuff. Who’d a thunk it?!
