A business built on the production of garden paths made of wood can compete with manufacturers of landscape elements made of stone or concrete. This is facilitated by the originality of the idea, low production cost, and environmental friendliness of the material. The costs of translating this idea into reality are minimal, so the business can bring high income in a short time.
First steps are the basis for success
Great if you already have the necessary space for organizing a wood track production . This can be a regular garage or a shed on the territory of a private house. If there is no place of your own, the solution may be to rent a suitable room. You can't do without a set of tools. This is, firstly, a chainsaw or an electric saw for the direct sawing process. Secondly, special devices will come in handy, allowing you to make an even cut when sawing a wide tree trunk. Third, a grinding machine is required to process the track elements on both sides. This will ensure the safety of using the tiles in the future. Fourthly, a milling machine with a rounded cutter will be useful. With its help, the external sections of each part are processed to give the tiles a neat appearance. It is necessary to take care of processing the elements of the garden path with a protective varnish. It will prevent premature destruction of tiles due to the influence of rot or dampness. In the event that the appearance of the tile becomes unsightly from the protective varnish, you can use it only on the side that will be laid on the ground. It is enough to cover the surface of the upper part with a colorless varnish.
Features of the production of wood paths
Making tracks is a simple process. The round timber must be cleaned. After that, the bar is sawn into pancakes, the thickness of which is about 80 mm. Next, you should process the elements on a grinding and milling machine and varnish the products. Laying the path is the next step. Sand is the best base for the surface on which the tiles will be laid. This will reduce the ingress of moisture into the wooden elements and, accordingly, increase the lifespan of the track.
Business promotion
An advertising campaign for the promotion of this business can begin with the free production of garden paths from wood in the suburban areas of friends or relatives. High-quality processing of materials, original laying of tiles will not only delight loved ones, but also allow you to take versatile photographs of the final result of production. With the existing portfolio, customers can be found much faster by posting a photo with a phone on the Internet, in specialized stores for home and summer cottages, in construction markets, on banners. Posting ads, distributing leaflets and brochures helps a lot. The main thing is to provide all customers with constant quality and exclusive design of the garden area.
