Heritage

With roots going back to the 1950s, Harrod UK started by making fishing nets and later became a leading name in British sports manufacturing. In 2000, we brought this expertise to the garden with the launch of Harrod Horticultural. Our innovative garden structures and accessories are designed and made in our Suffolk workshops, combining over 70 years of precision engineering with timeless style.

Today, we offer a wide range of products. From practical items like fruit cages, raised beds, and cloches, to elegant garden arches, obelisks, and premium furniture collections, every piece is built to last. Thoughtfully designed to enhance your space, each product reflects our heritage of quality British craftsmanship.

Product Design

At Harrod Horticultural, we are proud of our reputation for innovation. We consistently introduce stylish and practical garden structures to the market. Our dedication to design excellence led to the creation of the Harrod Innovation Centre—a purpose-built facility with a fully equipped design studio. Here, we use the latest CAD technology and 3D printing to prototype new products quickly.

Next to the studio, our large research and development workshop allows us to assemble and test products on-site. This ensures quality and performance at every stage. In addition to our extensive standard ranges, we offer a Made to Measure service, letting customers customise selected products to fit their gardens perfectly. We have also expanded into garden furniture, creating beautifully crafted collections designed to bring both style and comfort to outdoor spaces.

Quality Materials

At Harrod Horticultural, we are committed to quality and durability. Every product is made from carefully selected, long-lasting materials. This attention to detail ensures reliable performance and allows us to offer generous guarantees across much of our range.

Our steel garden structures are fully galvanised inside and out, then finished with a matt black powder coating for a sleek, weather-resistant look. Our garden furniture collections use high-quality galvanised steel, hand-etched for a unique, aged appearance while remaining strong and durable. We also use corrosion-resistant aluminium and pressure-treated timber in many of our products.

We believe true value comes from quality. Compare the materials and craftsmanship, and you’ll see why Harrod Horticultural stands apart.

Manufacturing

Harrod Horticultural has over 70 years of UK manufacturing experience. We are proud of our British engineering heritage. Every product we make combines quality craftsmanship with modern production methods.

Our powder-coating plant gives steel products, like fruit cages, arches, and garden structures, a strong, weatherproof finish. Our skilled in-house net-making team checks every detail. This lets us offer one of the UK’s largest ranges of garden netting. Many products can also be adapted to fit individual gardens.

Our long history in manufacturing means every product is built to last.

Quality Control

The Harrod Horticultural name has been synonymous with quality since 1954 and we take great pride in offering our customers high quality products.

We have over 120,000 square feet of factory, warehouses and offices in Lowestoft, Suffolk. This ensures that every stage from product design, manufacturing, packaging, despatch and administration happens in one place for guaranteed quality control in all we do.

Quick Delivery

With over 70 years of trusted manufacturing expertise and a commitment to holding large stocks of the premium materials used in all our designs, we aim for a swift turnaround. Standard product sizes are typically dispatched within 3-5 days, and even our Made to Measure and bespoke options are often quicker than expected. Where possible, larger orders are delivered by our own fleet of vehicles - ensuring Harrod Horticultural’s renowned customer service continues right to your door.
