Automatic Door - only £78.00 plus delivery
This automatic control device can be used wherever a vertical sliding gate is to be opened and closed in response to light conditions at dawn and dusk.
The VSB unit is suitable for outside installation, is weatherproof, can readily be exposed to sunlight and is insensitive to lightning strike.
Mounting is very easy: Open the sliding gate, fasten it on the VSB unit and insert the batteries. The lower stop will be automatically "chosen" by the sliding gate, i.e., when the latter reaches the lower position. Also available is a lightweight door complete with fitting rails.

Keeping Chickens by Helen Crapnell
I have recently been asked to write a correspondence course on Keeping Chickens for the Horticultural Correspondence College. This set me thinking that there is a demand for Chicken Courses. In preparation for our one day workshops which we are running next summer I have written a guide to keeping chickens. This book is supplied as an Ebook either on CD or via email. It is a comprehensive 78 page book full of useful information and colour photographs. The book covers topics ranging from Why Keep Chickens, Which Breed, What You Need, Housing, Hatching Your Own Eggs, Common Problems, Chicken Anatomy, Behaviour, Dispatching and other useful information for those totally new to chicken keeping and those who want to learn a bit more. If you would like to order a copy of this for only £4.99 please email me at info@wiltshirechickens.co.uk .
