An
e-mail from a potential Customer:
asking how competitors can sell
Wooden Garden Products cheaper than GardenGrapevine.com does.
It prompted us to get a cheap
"Bluebird House"
for comparison. This is what
we discovered:
"You get what you pay for .
. . maybe less" |
We welcome and encourage product
comparison.
The Bird house on the left is
indicative of the Quality found in all Wooden Garden Products made and
sold by GardenGrapevine.com
* The
competing "Bluebird House" on the right has a meager
3-3/4
x 3-7/8 Floor (Maybe they have skinny Blue Birds).
* The
Floor corner ventilation holes are not cut at a compound
angle
(to help evict predatory Larvae).
* The
boards have knots which would be rejects at out shop.
* The
Roof and Back are glued up from 5 or more waste strips.
(with
indoor glue, we assume)
* The
small Roof does not cover all 4 sides which invites rain.
* The
Screws are 1-1/2" indoor type.
(not
the 2" Galvanized ones we use)
* The
door hinges are exposed nails which will rust.
(Our
Hinges are made of Brass and Concealed)
* The
door sticks and is hard to open;
Ours
have steel Spacers, creating a Super-Smooth door.
* The
door is held shut by a nail in a drilled hole inviting rust and
rot.
(We use an Outdoor Vinyl Latch)
* Theirs
weighed a mere 3 Pounds, 14 ounces.
(Ours
weighed 6 Pounds, 12 ounces)
* There
is no sanding of any sharp or splintery edges.
* They
do not treat their Bird Houses with a clear Sealer and
Weather-proofer,
ready for you to paint your favorite color.
* They
do not have a Lifetime Guarantee.
* There
is no information included on how to best hang it and care
for it and its occupants.
"Price is not determined on the
day of purchase;
but on the day of replacement."
