Russia provides 20% of the world's timber = price rises

When the sanctions were announced, the media and politicians talked about some of the commodities that might be effected such as oil, gas, sunflower oil, potash for fertiliser, to name a few. However, there was no mention of one important commodity, timber.

At the time I did think about this, as I knew Russia grows a lot of the world's timber, and checked it out at the time, and found that 20% of timber is from Russia, so I thought soon enough prices would start rising.

Today I got an email from the shed manufacturer to say shed prices will be rising very soon, as the timber they get from Sweden, is grown in Russia, and just processed there. The demand on timber from outside of Russia, is pushing the price up. So, if you are interested in getting a wooden storage unit, wooden greenhouse, wooden shed, or garden arch, order ASAP, as the prices will all be going up this month. Unfortunately, the timber products were already a lot more expensive than before the pandemic began in 2020.

New Wooden Greenhouse Sizes added

Some new sizes of wooden greenhouses are now available. They are delivered in large sections which just need to be joined together. The panels are durable styrene so you don't need to worry about breaking glass when you are putting the greenhouse together, or when kids breaking glass when playing in the garden. (I remember as a kid trying to lock my sister out of my grandpa's greenhouse, and we were struggling with the door handle, me on the inside and sister on the outside, and the door slammed and cracked the glass. I think it's the one and only time i got told off by my grandpa.) So with styrene windows this sort of problem can be avoided!

The frames are wood, which as a natural material blends in well with gardens. Available in the grow your own section.
