The S Jones Solution
The Hide was designed and produced from an initial concept based on a 40ft container, cut down to 30ft with vandal resistant inwards opening windows, with top hinged friction hinges and anti-loose latches.
It has a steel insulated interior, internal shelves, footrests and stools that are chained to the floor, a canopy roof accessory to reduce solar gain and provide rainwater collection and a disabled access personnel door. The unit was then painted in S Jones’s specialist 450m3 heated and filtered air paint oven.
What Paxton Pits Had To Say
Local volunteer David Cobham said the Friends were thrilled with their new container “hide”.
“We are delighted with the standard of finish of the hide, which will be our flagship structure on the Reserve,” he said.
Senior Ranger Jim Stevenson said: “When the Hayden Hide burned down last August, most volunteers and staff saw this as a disaster and the end of an era.
“However, when the new Hayden Hide arrived at Paxton Pits we all agreed that it was an upgrade from the old wooden hide we loved. Whereas the old was a rather grandiose garden shed, the new one is more like a holiday chalet!”
