The Big Orchard is a fantastic company. I had specific requirements and nothing was too much trouble for them. Communication was excellent and very friendly.

The A1 Bretton is the ultimate portable drawing board for students and hobby designers working with A1 paper.
With a 920 x 650mm board surface provides enough work space for almost all student design projects. Accommodating A1 paper with ease the Bretton features a highly accurate cross-wire parallel motion with integrated steel roller bearings. The sturdy steel fold-out legs are finished in black and double up as a carry handle making the drawing board easily portable.
Now with an unbeatable lifetime warranty, the a precision machined straight edge and perfectly smooth drawing surface. Supplied fully assembled and ready to use straight from the box.
Is the straight edge removable?
Yes. It is easy to remove the straight edge from the wires.
What is the difference between Counter-weight and Cross-wire parallel motions?
Counter-weight parallel motions rely on a weighted mechanism to stop the straight edge sliding to the bottom of the board when the table is at an angle. Cross-wire (or continuous wire) parallel motions rely on friction to grip to board.

Can I use a compass with Papyroboard board cover?
Papyroboard is a hard wearing vinyl material which protects your board surface. Although it is hard wearing, compass points may still find their way through if used regularly. We would recommend a cutting mat to protect the board surface.
