Announcement
All the items listed in my shop are in inventory and will ship the same or the next day.
Thank you for visiting My Retirement Gig, also known as Sadler Garden Collections, home of the original square PVC bird feeder.
Great news!! All of our products now have free shipping. No need to worry about how much shipping adds to the purchase. Just enjoy the product at the listed price (except taxes where applicable)..
See our Bird feeders, bird houses, planters and candle holders. and the new PVC post toppers, plus many other items built to last. I use the finest materials that will withstand the elements.
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!! its also made right here in Buffalo NY.
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!
We also have a website for our larger products, as well as many blogs covering many subjects. www.sadlergardencollections.com
our website also links back to Etsy where we sell the an array of products.

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 starsThis is my third project with Pat and he is so wonderful to work with! He is available for a custom design request, thoughtful and very responsive. It was a collaboration throughout the building process, and we are thrilled with the final result!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful, quality bird feeders! I reached out to Pat to request a custom order. I liked the gothic tube feeder but wanted the design with a cedar roof. Pat was quick to respond, very friendly, and communicated frequently as he worked through the design (being able to refill the tube feeder with a cedar roof was the catch). He made it work! They are beautiful, easy to clean and easy to fill with bird seed. Custom orders are one of the reasons I love ETSY, and Pat is a perfect example of being able to work directly with a designer with a custom request.

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.

Additional policies and FAQs
If we make a run of 10 of the same product, due to the nature of lumber, there will be slight differences in appearance of grain pattern, color and shade. If you would like to see a picture of the actual piece being sent to you we will gladly oblige.
With our engraving business we will gladly work with you to help you design a sign. However we need to put in a special order and have your commitment to that order before we send renditions of the sign. We just do not have the resources to work on renditions without a firm order. This is a difficult area for us as its all work done with computer programing and layout, which are quite time consuming. thanks for your understanding
