About Us

Our involvement with Chimeneas started a few years ago and through our knowledge and experience we now sell our own chimeneas which we have sourced in Mexico (it's the only place to get them from!). Not only does the design of our chimeneas set us apart from others available but they have superior quality painting techniques and sealants. You will always receive a lid and a stand with all of our chims, we think a chim just doesn't look finished without it's hat (lid). Many retailers have turned to China to produce their chimeneas but in our experience the clay is inferior to Mexican clay and they are not fired to high enough temperatures therefore making them liable to crack even from a moderate fire. Unfortunately Chinese chimeneas have given the clay chimenea a bad reputation but as long as you buy Mexican, use it properly and protect it from icy weather then you will have many years of enjoyment from it

Before our involvement with chimeneas our background comes from another garden product, Canadian Muskoka Chairs sold under the company name Francis Bay. We founded Francis Bay and were the first company to bring Muskoka Chairs to the UK from Canada. We researched the market of Muskoka/Adirondack chairs to find the most comfortable and only when we felt we'd found the right one did we start Francis Bay. Our Muskoka chairs work so well alongside the chimeneas as you are able to enjoy them outside during the cooler days of the year. Take a look at the Francis Bay website www.francisbay.co.uk
