Outdoor Life Group Nederland Gouderak B.V. is the proud owner of its own brands: Outdoor Life Products, EagleWood and TopWood.
As specialists in the production and distribution of timber and garden sheds, we supply a wide range of timber products and related services to all major DIY retailers and e-tailers in the Benelux. We are also the exclusive distributor of Jungle Gym play equipment in the Benelux and the range of greenhouses from Juliana and Halls.
Timber is in our DNA. Whether it’s a grey-painted canopy, an anthracite-stained garden fence or a green-impregnated pine garden post. With around 4.5 hectares of land in Gouderak and 2.5 hectares in Someren dedicated to storage, production and dispatch, we take great pride in fulfilling our role as a manufacturer and logistics provider.
From our base in Gouderak, we distribute our Outdoor Life Products via an extensive transport network. We supply our products to the stores of major DIY retailers and e-tailers across the Benelux. We also offer a dropshipment service to our retail customers, delivering directly to consumers’ homes.
Through active category and product management, we support our retailers with detailed shelf and product range analyses. We take a format-specific approach to ensure the right products are on the shelves, assess shelf positions based on profitability analyses, and advise on the appropriate POS materials.
Outdoor Life Products is one of the quality brands of Outdoor Life Group Nederland Gouderak B.V. As the name suggests, the products under this label are designed for outdoor living – and in particular for enjoying the great outdoors without a care in the world! Products under the Outdoor Life Products label benefit from over 30 years’ experience in the development and manufacture of garden timber products. Every day, our specialists at Outdoor Life Products take great pleasure in creating beautiful solutions for long summer days in the garden.
At Outdoor Life Group Nederland Gouderak B.V., we believe it is important to fulfil our social responsibilities and care for people and the environment. That is why, when putting together our diverse range and selecting the raw materials for our products, we choose wood from sustainably managed forests. This wood is selected in accordance with strict protocols. This enables us to guarantee not only the sustainability but also the traceability of our products. For impregnated products, for example, we ensure that they are first re-dried to improve the quality of the impregnation process. These impregnated products are then treated under high pressure and with KOMO certification to ensure optimal preservation and, consequently, a long service life. By being meticulous in our choice of raw materials, we work together to sustainably preserve our forests – and with them, biodiversity – and ensure a future-proof planet. We think that’s a lovely thought!
Outdoor Life Products has a sharp focus on product development. What are the latest market developments and trends? How can we respond to changing customer needs? The product development team continuously develops new concepts, from the initial idea to a technically flawless product. During product development, we keep the consumer’s perspective in mind. In this way, we support our customers by presenting our products online as effectively and comprehensively as possible. Depending on the item, we provide atmospheric and/or standalone images and supporting content such as assembly videos. Items such as sandpits, picnic tables or potting tables are supplied ‘complete knockdown’ (CKD). This means that the product is delivered as a compact package, with unassembled parts. Naturally, in such cases, we provide clear and consumer-friendly assembly instructions. We also ensure that our products are supplied in sturdy packaging, so that they arrive in good condition at the shop or with the consumer.
