A garden shed and summerhouse retailer has chosen a site in mid Suffolk for its fifth store.
Tiger Modular Buildings - which also sells log cabins - has launched an outlet at Stonham Barns Park at Stonham Aspal near Stowmarket as a showpiece for more than 50 of the buildings in its range.
The new location takes the number of Tiger stores across the UK to five and is its fourth to open in the last 12 months.
The show site has been launched in collaboration with TMC Garden Buildings and provides customers with a chance to see its range of outdoor buildings, which are used for a variety of purposes from storing gardening equipment to somewhere to work or relax, a gym space or a games room.

The new site features a selection of the most popular Tiger buildings includes the Tiger Contemporary Retreat Summerhouse.
All the buildings are hand-made at the company’s Yorkshire workshops using sustainably sourced high-grade timber, says the company.
TMC Garden Buildings founder and director Tim Clarke said: "We are excited at a further opportunity to collaborate with Tiger as an official partner with an exclusive branded show site.
He added that he was "very confident" the partnership with Tiger will be a success for both parties as well as the consumer.

"We can't wait to showcase the potential of garden buildings, inspiring visitors with endless possibilities to create their own unique outdoor spaces.
