Construction students at East Riding College have brightened up their campus with a summer display of bespoke garden furniture.

The joinery learners designed and built items including a gazebo, shed and dog kennel.

The activity was part of the College’s enterprise entitlement, which helps students develop skills to succeed in the workplace.

Head of construction Ian Frear said: “This project gave learners an insight into some of the skills essential to being a self-employed joiner.

“They had to design and cost up the projects themselves, building in an element of profit, and then assemble them to a very high standard.”

The majority of the items, with prices ranging from £5 to £700, have already been snapped up by members of staff at the College but a number are still available to buy.

Proceeds from the sales will be put towards extra-curricular activities and a proportion will go to charity.
