Waltons Garden Buildings

Way back in 1878, E.C Walton, decided to set up shop making beehives. Knowledge of his carpentry skills began to spread, and soon he was making chicken-coops too. However the move to buildings came from a rather unexpected silver lining from the disease of tuberculosis. Time spent in a summerhouse was seen as a way to cure the patient, and so by 1900, the company became E.C Waltons & Co.

Medals for excellence began to roll in and the the boom years soon followed. A new factory, a new owner in the way of E.C Walton's son, and a brand new line of "bungalows", starting at £36, saw huge growth for the company.

However that commitment to quality that started with beehives never left, even with the handing down of the torch; testament to this is that next to the Waltons factory, there still stands a bungalow which was built way back in 1920!

Waltons has come a long way from the beekeeping days of E.C Walton. The days of 600 men working by hand are gone. Instead custom built, highly precisioned machinery creates perfectly proportioned boards, ready to make up a tongue and groove shed, a log cabin or anything in between.

Waltons is proud to design and build the vast majority of its products in the UK, using ethically sourced wood that is FSC certified. T&M meanwhile, is proud to stock Waltons, as we know that whenever we sell a garden building, it is the best garden building that can be.
