For makers of garden buildings
Shoppers stand your buildings in their own garden at full size in AR, on iPhone and Android, with no app. We build your whole range from your drawings and look after it. Your part is signing off the dimensions.
In half a minute
What you get
One managed service: we build true-scale 3D models of your products, you sign off the dimensions, and the viewer puts them on your shop and your retailers' shops. We keep them up to date as the range changes.
A paid pilot: we build every size and option of one product family, you sign off the dimensions, and we put it on your product pages, tested on iPhone and Android. Then you decide whether to keep it and add the rest of the range.
How it's made
We build each product family from its drawings, so every size and option matches. A new family takes days, and when your range changes we update every size at once.
Your drawingsAssembly manuals, parts lists and dimensioned views.
Built to sizeEvery option modelled and checked automatically against the drawings.
You sign offA dimension sheet per model, with drawings, for your team to approve.

We put it on your pages for you. Your retailers paste these two lines to show it on theirs. It takes your fonts and colours, and can follow the variant the shopper picks.

Why I built it
I wanted a barrel sauna for my garden, but I wasn't sure which size would be right. I could read the dimensions, but I couldn't picture how each size would fit, or where it would sit best.
So I built a true-scale model I could stand outside with my phone and walk round before choosing. Now your customers can do the same, from your own product pages.

Questions
Send us your drawings or assembly manuals. We build a true-scale 3D model of every size, finish and option you sell, you sign off the dimensions, and we add the button to your product pages, on Shopify or any other site. Shoppers tap "View in your garden" and stand the building on their own lawn at full size.
No. The button opens the phone's own AR viewer: AR Quick Look on iPhone and Google's Scene Viewer on Android. On a computer it shows a QR code that opens the same product, with the same options chosen, on the shopper's phone.
Saunas, hot tubs and cold plunges, greenhouses, log cabins, garden offices and garden rooms. The demos on this page show each type. We model every size, finish and option you sell, and the viewer only offers the options sold with each size.
Each model is built from your drawings and checked against them, to within 20 mm. Before anything goes live, your team approves a dimension sign-off sheet for every model, and we correct anything that doesn't match until you sign it off.
Yes. We install it on your own shop. Any retailer you approve can show the same button by pasting two lines of code, at no extra cost. Retailers whose sites can't run it can have the model files instead, where their platform accepts 3D.
A new product family takes days to build. When your range changes, we update every size of that family at once. Your part is signing off the dimensions.
We quote after a short call, based on your range; prices aren't published here. You start with a paid pilot: one product family, every size and option, live on your product pages for 12 weeks. Then you decide whether to keep it and add the rest of the range.
