The RHS Chelsea Flower Show remains one of the most prestigious events in the global horticultural and outdoor living calendar, attracting designers, makers, brands, and enthusiasts from around the world. Each year, it provides a powerful platform to showcase craftsmanship, innovation, and high quality products that define the future of gardens and outdoor spaces. In 2026, the spotlight once again falls on elevated outdoor living, with brands collaborating across disciplines to create immersive and inspiring exhibits.

Collaboration with Charlie Ovens

We are proud to announce that our Venetian Hit and Miss fence panels and Venetian Retreat shelter have been specified for use on the Chelsea Flower Show stand for Charlie Ovens, a company renowned for its luxury outdoor charcoal ovens. Known for combining traditional charcoal cooking with contemporary design, Charlie Ovens has built a strong reputation for producing statement pieces that sit at the intersection of performance, aesthetics, and outdoor entertaining.

Designing a Premium Stand Experience

The Chelsea Flower Show stand offers Charlie Ovens an opportunity to present its products within a refined and considered environment that reflects the premium nature of the brand. Our fencing and retreat shelter have been carefully selected to complement this setting, helping to frame the ovens while creating a cohesive, welcoming outdoor space that encourages visitors to stop, explore, and imagine these products in their own gardens.

Venetian Hit and Miss Fence Panels

Our Venetian Hit and Miss fence panels form a key part of the stand’s structure. Their distinctive alternating pale design provides screening without making the space feel enclosed. This makes them particularly effective in busy show environments, where the balance between openness and enclosure is essential. Visually, the clean lines and contemporary feel of the panels pair well with the bold, colourful presence of the Charlie Ovens products, enhancing the overall presentation without overpowering it.

Venetian Retreat Shelter

In one section, our Venetian Retreat shelter has been specified to create a sheltered focal point within the space. The shelter demonstrates how well designed garden structures can elevate outdoor cooking and entertaining areas, offering protection from the elements while maintaining a strong architectural presence. Within the Chelsea context, it reinforces the idea that outdoor ovens are part of a wider outdoor living experience that includes seating, surfaces, shelter, and landscaping.

Expert Installation

Installation of the fencing and shelter is being carried out by one of our Approved Installers, Jason from Oilcanfinish Outdoor Living. Jason’s involvement ensures that the products are installed to the highest standard, which is particularly critical at an event where every detail is scrutinised by industry professionals and the public alike. His experience working on premium outdoor projects ensures that the finished result accurately reflects the quality and design intent of the products on display.

Trex Decking Integration

In addition to installing our fencing, Jason will also be fitting Trex decking on the Charlie Ovens stand. As a TrexPRO Platinum installer, he brings expert knowledge of Trex composite decking systems, which are widely specified for their durability, low maintenance requirements and consistent finish. The use of Trex decking helps to create a sophisticated and practical foundation for the stand, ensuring it performs well throughout the show while maintaining a polished appearance.

Creating a Cohesive Outdoor Space

The combination of decking, fencing, and the Venetian Retreat shelter creates a layered and cohesive environment that mirrors the way premium outdoor spaces are now being designed for residential settings. Defined zones for cooking, standing, gathering, and shelter reflect how modern gardens are used, particularly by homeowners who value high quality outdoor entertaining.

A Milestone for Our Brand

For us, being specified at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a significant achievement. The show is widely recognised as a benchmark for excellence, and products featured there are often seen as leaders within their sector. Having our fencing and shelter showcased alongside a respected luxury brand such as Charlie Ovens allows us to demonstrate not only the aesthetic versatility of our range, but also its suitability for high end, design led applications.

The Power of Collaboration

The project also highlights the importance of collaboration across the outdoor living industry. The partnership between a luxury oven manufacturer, a specialist Approved Installer, and premium material suppliers demonstrates how different elements can come together to create a unified and aspirational space. It is this level of collaboration and attention to detail that continues to define the most successful exhibits at Chelsea.

Enhancing Outdoor Living Experiences

As visitors experience the Charlie Ovens stand at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, they will see how thoughtfully selected structures, surfaces, and boundaries can enhance the presentation of outdoor cooking equipment. Our Venetian Hit and Miss fence panels and Venetian Retreat shelter play a supporting yet essential role in this setting, reinforcing the idea that exceptional outdoor products deserve an equally well considered environment.
