the market HEX Living has unveiled its new range of premium-quality metal outdoor storage solutions


A


brand new outdoor storage and garden furniture brand has been unveiled, enhancing the market


with an exciting new range of premium- quality, British made, metal sheds and storage solutions. HEX Living, a new subsidiary of multi award-


winning sheet metal manufacturing business, Alpha Manufacturing, is set to enrich the industry with its products, offering heightened choice, quality and availability to consumers seeking to purchase outdoor metal storage solutions and furniture.


Large capacity The first of two products readily available to purchase online now is Hixon, a huge 12,800L capacity shed. Offering ample space to store bikes, garden furniture, a lawnmower and other household tools, it comes complete with an integrated door panel organisation system, tool hangers and shelving for additional garden and DIY essentials. Hixon features two large, outward opening double doors for easy access, whilst the robust locking system ensures belongings remain safe and secure. Weston is the second product to be launched


by HEX Living. A discreet yet functional, storage solution it is ideal for smaller gardens, yards or terraces, safely storing and protecting items without encroaching on living space. It features two outward opening doors that can be folded back to 180 degrees and secured with cabin hooks for easy access. Both interior door panels also feature a useful integrated organiser system ideal for hanging garden tools or other small objects. Internally, Weston features two height adjustable shelves for convenient storage and four tool hangers to support larger items such as brooms or garden hoses.


Stylish finishes Both products are available in two stylish colourways, anthracite grey and sage green. Manufactured from a powder coated, durable, galvanised steel, all HEX Living products are designed to be maintenance free and come with an unrivalled lifetime warranty for added peace of mind. HEX Living is currently the only outdoor metal storage solution manufacturer to offer this guarantee. Nine further products will be added to HEX


Living’s collection in the coming weeks. These include metal planters, deck boxes, horizontal storage units and four additional models of shed.


British manufactured Alpha Manufacturing Managing Director Paul Clews says: “During Brexit and the pandemic, we identified a gap in the market for British manufactured metal sheds and other outdoor

living products. As supply issues and import problems hit the industry, we knew that there was a real opportunity to introduce a range of UK designed and manufactured products that would give buyers improved choice, higher quality, readier availability and ultimately an enhanced buying experience. I couldn’t be more excited to see HEX Living launched.” As a subsidiary of Alpha Manufacturing, all


HEX Living products will be designed and manufactured at the business’ impressive 80,000 sq. ft, state-of-the-art facility in Hixon, Staffordshire. “Aside from the design and high quality of our products, one of our real points of difference,” Clews continues, “is that all of our products will be manufactured here in the UK. This gives us a real competitive advantage over our competitors whose products are largely imported from abroad. “Thanks to the size of our manufacturing


plant, we have the capacity to manufacture and hold large volumes of stock here in Staffordshire. This means we can deliver our products to anywhere in the country in just five working days and without expensive delivery charges, providing an excellent purchasing experience for our customers.” HEX Living has already successfully secured a


major retail partner who will be supplying its Weston and Hixon products online and through several of its stores in the very near future. The business will also be exhibiting at garden and outdoor living trade show Glee 2022 in June as well as summer outdoor exhibition SOLEX in July. “We are really excited about the launch of HEX


Living and the possibilities that lie ahead. We’ve invested significantly in research, design, production and marketing to get the product here today and cannot wait to showcase it to potential stockists at the events. We have also created our very own mobile showroom, converting an articulated trailer into a moving space that we can use to visit customers with our products up and down the country,” says Clews. • For more information about Hex Living visit www.hexliving.co.uk
