			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the recession, burglary rates have risen, leading to people wanting to secure their homes in as many ways as possible. At Crocketts <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/index.php" title="gates">Gates</a>, we can supply and install a huge range of great looking and durable <a title="gates Maidenhead " href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/windsor-maidenhead.php">gates Maidenhead</a> to improve the security of your family and property. We are a family-run business based in Buckinghamshire and have built up a fantastic reputation for our professional and friendly service.</p>
<h2>Handmade Using the Very Best Materials</h2>
<p>We take great pride in the fact that we hand-make all of our gates at our Askett premises. We strive to only use the premium materials available to ensure that you get long-lasting and quality gates that stand the test of time in the face of the British weather. The importance of using good materials for security purposes can&#8217;t be understated, as poorly made gating will not provide much protection against potential intruders.</p>
<h2>Hardwood for Optimum Strength</h2>
<p>As with <a title="external doors Maidenhead" href="http://www.samsonwindows.co.uk/front-doors.php" target="_blank">external doors Maidenhead</a>, it is important that your gates are as strong as possible. We offer two types of hardwoods, ideal for offering protection to your property as well as the durability they need to resist wear and tear.</p>
<p>Iroko: This African hardwood is a popular choice for outdoors applications, and is even used for boat building so you can trust Iroko to offer superior strength. With an attractive golden brown appearance thanks to a base coat of Teak Oil, Iroko is often mistaken for Mahogany, providing style as well as security.</p>
<p>Oak: Used for generations, Oak is ideal for building structures designed to last for years. We only use European air, first grade Oak wood that has been seasoned for four years to give you the very best finish possible.</p>
<p>At Crocketts Gates, we understand how important it is that you do everything you can to protect your home. Even low <strong>gates Maidenhead</strong> can be a deterrent, so get in touch with our team today on 01844 342 036 to discuss how we can improve your security.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello! Last day of April today, but I bet it&#8217;s not the last of the April showers!<br />
Jason is off to Windsor and Hartwell today to meet with clients and then this evening we are off to a Federation of Small Businesses event at Aylesbury College to support their Real Life Entrepreneur campaign.<br />
We have client meetings booked in all week and on Thursday evening we are attending a 4C event with cocktails and canapes (Oo la la!)<br />
Outside of work we are juggling PTA meetings, school production pick ups (our youngest is in rehearsals for Mid Summer Nights Dream) and Jason has a golf competition to play in at the weekend (hope the rain stays away.)<br />
All that and still busy making <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/index.php" title="gates">gates</a> and garage doors in the workshop!<br />
Take care &#8211; speak soon &#8211; Claire</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're thinking about buying a new shed for your garden there are a few things you need to know, as this latest post from the experts at Crocketts Gates.  <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/news/sheds-and-garden-buildings/what-look-when-buying-sheds.php">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A garden shed is often the finishing touch added to a garden to provide a place to store everything we need to keep our garden looking its best and to use however we wish. However, some <a title="sheds Windsor " href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/windsor-maidenhead.php ">sheds Windsor</a> can be better than others, so knowing what to look for is essential in finding something that will do everything you want from it.</p>
<p>Here at Crocketts <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/index.php" title="gates">Gates</a>, we have extensive knowledge in what will make a good shed, and as we are proudly working alongside the renowned BBD Leisure Buildings, you have all it takes to provide you with exactly that. Read on to discover just a few of the things you need to look for:</p>
<p>Build Quality</p>
<p>With an installation that will be taking up residence in your garden, it will of course have to be durable and able to withstand the many different weather conditions that can constantly be thrown at it in this country. Ensuring that your shed is of a high quality should come before everything else, and here at Crocketts Gates we are proud to be working with BBD Leisure Buildings in providing our <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/index.php" title="sheds">sheds</a> as they are synonymous with providing formidable strength – using only the highest quality redwood and thermo wood cladding to produce their buildings.</p>
<p>Aesthetics</p>
<p>The second most important consideration is of course the appearance of your chosen shed, as you won’t want to be looking out through your <a title="UPVC windows East London" href="http://www.tradewindowsonline.com/categories/standard_pvcu_windows  " target="_blank">UPVC windows East London</a> at an eyesore each morning. Our sheds can be created to your bespoke requirements in order to create something that is not just a garden building, but an addition that will really enhance the rest of the area.</p>
<p>Making sure you have both of the above in line will help you find <strong>sheds Windsor</strong> that are right for you, and you can be assured of that each time you come to Crocketts Gates.</p>

<div id="_mcePaste">What sets us here at Crocketts <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/index.php" title="gates">Gates</a> apart from other suppliers, is that each of our <a title="gates Aylesbury" href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk">gates Aylesbury</a> are 100% handmade and made to measure, assuring you that whatever style of gate you choose, it will be of the highest quality and made only for your property and the dimensions of the gate opening.</div>
<p></p>
<div id="_mcePaste">We believe that this is a must when it comes to choosing your gates because if they are too big or small they will not only look out of place and at odds with the rest of your property, but will also lack functionality and not do exactly what you bought them for – to either add extra security around the perimeter of your property, make it look more appealing, or provide ease of entry and exit when travelling up or down your driveway.</div>
<p></p>
<div id="_mcePaste">Our made to measure gates which can vary between different types of wood and overall appearance will cover all of the above requirements as we will go to great lengths to match your vision in every way. The shopping process of acquiring these gates couldn’t be easier either, as all you need to do is fill out our online enquiry form to request a brochure or call us on 01844 342036 to discuss dimensions and your preferred style.</div>
<p></p>
<div id="_mcePaste">You can even see and feel the high quality of all of these gates by visiting us at our Askett premises where each gate is developed and made to measure. The made to measure <a href="http://www.crockettsgates.co.uk/gates.php" title="garden gates">garden gates</a> we can offer to customers throughout the area includes:</div>
<p></p>
<div id="_mcePaste">-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Softwood Gates</div>
