Deb Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Have found a rather lovely u-shaped bench for our outside area, trouble is the cost. £500 for the bench plus £200 to £400 for delivery/installation, see link below. This is quite a chunk out of our budget so I was wondering if you had any ideas or know of a stockist of something similar or can suggest an alternative perhaps? http://www.pendlewood.com/childrens-playgr...teller_161.html Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2368 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I went to Hampton Court garden show this year and there was a chap selling gorgeous benchs for children and i don't think they were as expensive as that. I'll try to find out who the supplier was and get back to you. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It IS lovely, but ouch! very expensive.Have you considered log seats instead?? ASk your local council/parish council/tree surgeon to let you know when they're felling trees and ask for the cuttings.We're in talks with our parish council to put a 'story ring' of logs ( rather like they have in Forest schools) down at the bottom of our park, at the edge of the trees.It will mean anyone can use them, but it will be lovely to go down there for story time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I wonder if you could adapt some tree benches to make something similar but much cheaper! http://www.greenfingers.com/superstore/pro...p;pf_id=LS3768D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
