If a picture can paint a 1000 words then our new photo album is worth 1½ MILLION words. This saying meaning ‘a picture tells a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text’ appears to have started in the early part of the 20th century.

Frederick R Barnard, in his article in Printers Ink in December 1921, claimed the effectiveness of pictures in advertising and that his ‘One Look is worth a Thousand Words’ was oriental in origin and so added ‘so said a famous Japanese philosopher’ to his saying. Printers Ink also printed another form of this saying – ‘Chinese Proverb. One picture is worth ten thousand words’ also suggesting a oriental origin.

You can view our photo gallery with over 1520 photographs including our super range of 10X8 log cabins. All in full colour and each on their own page so you can view the great detail. All these photos are unique to 1st Choice, meaning you can’t see these elsewhere.

You can click through the thumbnails of the individual ranges and with most of these ranges being only available from 1st Choice Leisure Buildings you can be sure you are not buying mass produced inferior garden buildings but quality log cabin buildings made to exacting standards where attention to detail is paramount.

At our garden cabins Surrey display sites there are Garden Sheds, Summer Buildings, Heavy Duty Workshop, Solar Potting Sheds, Trentan Cabins, and Concrete Garages for you to view.

Consider why the mass produced garden cabins makers don’t have display sites, they certainly have the turnover to be able to afford display sites if they wished but this would then enable you to see what cheap materials are used, how weak the floor, walls, doors and roof actually are.

There’s no law against selling anything from lightweight materials providing you are not led to believe that you are comparing these cheap cabins from the quality long lasting garden buildings available from us or the other quality manufacturers.

How do I know this? I’ve been in the garden buildings business since 1979 (pre Maggie Thatcher) so are aware of what is required. I’ve seen many companies fall by the wayside because of the inferior products offered. Many of the larger companies claim to have been making buildings for many, many years but in fact are ‘phoenix’ companies, new companies formed when the previous incarnation went into liquidation. And we all know what happens when companies go into liquidation – you lose your money.

So with our superb range, our photo album – with currently over 1500 photos – our large range of 10X8 display buildings means that we, as a small family firm, can compete against the massive mass produced shed companies because we can guarantee quality and actually care about our customers and reputation.

So in comparison with our superb photo albums, with each picture worth 1000 words, and excellent display site, with each building worth 10,000 words the large companies with no display sites are practically illiterate.
