Can anyone recommend good stockists of poolside and patio furniture, sunloungers etc. Going over early April and this is one job to do. Last time we could only find small selection of this type of thing. Thanks, Breezyboy.

Erwin

This sounds promising, are you ready for handover at last?

sorry, I can't help with your question.

Good luck

Andrew

Do you want plastic or wood/Wrought Iron. Try frankandjoan.com - we bought all our white plastic furniture including sunbeds from them (and they deliver). I think they also do some wrought iron bits too. Wood tends to dry out very quickly in the sun and needs oiling every year.

Hi

Whatever you buy it will need maintenance or replacing annually.

Plastic is ok for only really for one year, maybe 2 if you are lucky. It becomes brittle and breaks easy. Wooden needs treating but does last much longer. Wrought Iron is ok but can be uncomfortable. Wicker/Bamboo is good for shady areas but not good in direct sunlight.

Hi

We got ours from Electrakur (on the main roundabout in Girne). It is light weight aluminium coated in a black 'gun metal' finish. The seats are then a weave. (They sell similar in John Lewis) It is completely maintenance free and will last forever - Sun loungers were around £100, chairs around £25, Tables around £30 - but it is good stuff.

Thanks everyone for the info. Now got a choice to look at, thanks.



Andrew- I have been ready for handover for a long time but the house wasn't!

Getting much closer now thanks.
