Two friends, one workshop

How The Garden Forge started

It began with Sam's birthday and what a great place to start, a hand-built bar, and a party that wouldn't leave it alone. This is the story.

Sam & Pete
Workshop, Surrey
35 combined years of trade experience

Sam had 120 guests invited to party the night away. The garden looked great but there was something missing, a bar! Sam sat at the kitchen worktop and began the design, one phone call to Pete and the two friends set about building.  It went down a storm, with requests for bespoke builds.  This is where it all started. Seeing the bar become the hub of the garden party inspired the creation of The Garden Forge…

Now designing and building potting sheds and dog houses, tables and benches — and with 30+ combined years' experience in plumbing and electrical engineering, construction, external cushion manufacturing and carpentry, Sam and Pete are in their element creating garden buddies for clients to enjoy.
