The Markilux 6000 Full Cassette Awning

The Markilux 6000 full cassette awning comes with high tensile strength bionic tendons within the folding arms, that have been designed to mimic the folding of a human elbow; transferring spring tension through the folding arms as they fold inwards in an almost silent fashion, creating a friction-free movement during retraction and extension, which prolong the technical life of the awning. The awning material has a nano-technology dirt-repellent finish, and a choice of fabrics from the Markliux range, such as Sunvas snc, Sunsilk snc and Visutex; each offering UV protection when under the shade of the awning.

Gravelled gardens

I am very understanding when it comes to gardens and gardening.

The post party garden cleanup

I have written hundreds, if not thousands, of words about respecting gardens, enjoying the peace and tranquility of it all and really putting your feet up and relishing that holistic, natural experience of the great outdoors in your own personal space. Occasionally though that peace gets disrupted. The party I was at over the weekend certainly showed no great respect for anything, least of all a garden. Once the dust had settled and the weary eyed began to stir to survey the carnage it was pretty clear this would be a monumental clean up effort, not least in the garden itself. Cans on the floor, food everywhere, turned over tables and chairs, general waste spread all over the grass and in the bushes, puddles of sick littered about. It was...
