NATIONAL TRUST x BURGON & BALL Spade

NATIONAL TRUST x  BURGON & BALL | Spade

This National Trust high-carbon steel digging spade echoes the style and quality of the garden tools of yesteryear. Celebrating traditional manufacturing techniques, the attention to design detail results in a garden spade with strength and durability, created to make gardening easier for everyone.

This garden spade has been tested to a breaking strain of 100kg – that’s 82% stronger than the British standard. The high-carbon steel head and socket are solid forged from a single piece of metal for optimal strength, with a textured powder coating in a distinctive antique bronze shade to protect from corrosion. Wide comfort treads at the top of the blade prevent any discomfort for feet. A robust D-handle in high-carbon steel gives maximum life, and the joints at socket and D-handle are double-riveted for a secure connection. The FSC® ash shaft and grip give enduring comfort, and the shaft bears a brass plaque as a hallmark of the reassurance of these two trusted names in gardening.

Overall length 100cm, maximum width of spade head 18cm.

Handle: FSC certified hardwood

Head: high-carbon steel

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION:

The result of a collaboration with the National Trust and Burgon & Ball, Europe’s largest conservation charity, the National Trust made by Burgon & Ball range of high-carbon garden tools offers superior quality and a heritage aesthetic. If you’re looking for garden tools with the strength of high-carbon steel, but don’t want to sacrifice stylish design, these are the tools for you. 

Celebrating traditional manufacturing techniques, this range pays a little extra attention to detail. The spade and digging fork have a solid socket forged head and socket for optimal strength. The lopper is drop forged using hardened and tempered high-carbon steel for sharpness and durability. The hand tools feature solid brass ferrules for a secure connection and timeless style.

These distinctive garden tools have a unique look, giving a nod to the tools of yesteryear, with dark FSC hardwood handles, touches of brass and an antique bronze powder coating. But they’re about more than the looks; myriad design touches, such as the sharpened edges of the trowel to allow it to slide easily into the soil, mean that these tools simply make gardening easier, for every gardener.

By purchasing these tools, you are helping the National Trust look after the places in its care, as a percentage of revenue from sales of the National Trust made by Burgon and Ball collection will support its conservation work.
