Announcement
Thank you for visiting My Retirement Gig, also known as Sadler Garden Collections, home of the original square PVC bird feeder.
We started out in 1993 using wood and PVC as our media of choice. Over the years, we have developed many original products for sale online as well as craft shows in Western New York.
My philosophy is simple; make a product that I would be proud to own. In other words, design and build products that stand the test of time, are built to last, are fairly-priced, are tested in our own environment (Buffalo, NY ) and meet customers' needs and expectations.
You only have to read our customer reviews to see how many folks are happy with their purchases.
I have worked in the PVC fence industry since 1982 using the finest extrusions on the market to build my product portfolio. Each piece of PVC is manufactured to withstand most weather situations, and is designed for longevity. The PVC I use is virtually maintenance-free, yes virtually, because it is not self cleaning!!
I use western red cedar as my wood of choice, again because it is fence grade and therefore one of the best products for outdoor use. I sand each piece and finish it with either an outdoor oil, a marine varnish to enhance the grain or an outdoor oil-based paint.
I believe in building products that last, look great and give customers value for money.
So check us out and buy with confidence!
- Pat
PS: We also do custom work, so if you have a new idea or a change to a piece that already exists, let us know.
PPS: Please come back and visit us often as we always have exciting new products to share with you.

5 out of 5 starsOur fourth birdhouse and again we couldn’t be happier! This one was packaged as well as the first three and was delivered in about 7 days. Can’t tell you which one my favorite is because they are all beautifully made. I know we will enjoy them for years to come!!

About
-
A look behind the scenes in our headquarters. For more, see our Instagram feed @SadlerGardenCollections!
-
A demonstration of the many different ways our PVC products can be used: plant, birdseed, suet, flameless candles.
-
One of our oldest designs, this shows a few variations on the Tiverson, a combo birdhouse and feeder, each different.
-
A few of our nesting box and bird feeder products being enjoyed by our backyard feathered friends.

We have larger garden products only available by direct contact or at craft shows (follow on Facebook for 2017 shows).
A passion for designing, prototyping, manufacturing, marketing, and selling. I love it all!
I work out of one half of a two car garage, as well as the basement and two trailers for storage.
I sell my products through Etsy as well as local craft fairs. I am just getting back into crafting after a 10 year break during which I focused everything on my day job.
Today as I near retirement, I am putting more effort into building my retirement empire, more commonly known as My Retirement Gig.
I am a self taught woodworker as well an "oldie" in the PVC world. I have worked with PVC extrusions in the fence, rail and deck industry for over 30 years.
My wife likes to lend a hand in the business and does all the stenciling and painting on my birdhouses.
The products you see here are just a handful of the many designs I have in my head...stay tuned for new ones.
We will work on custom items by request.
The bottom line for me is that I love making things and I love selling things. When the two come together smoothly, it makes it all worthwhile.
Please feel free to read the comments from our customers. You may be saying the very same thing one day!
Thanks for stopping by.

I have a passion for working with wood and PVC or vinyl. I enjoy being creative and I love to sell things I have made. I am extremely quality conscious and my friends wonder how I ever manage to finish a project when I am so picky.
