Do I need a carpenter or a flat pack assembly guy?

[Pennies]

We've decided to buy our DD's the TP wooden climbing frame kit and the guy in John Lewis said it would take two of us two days to assemble.

DH and I are pretty useless when it come to things like this, we have no useful family nearby, plus a job like this isn't going to be ideal with two toddlers muscling in on the act so we reckon we need help.

So would it be best to get a carpenter to put it up or one of those companies that assembles flat pack furniture?

I am new to my area so don't know any local handymen that could help out - tho if anyone does (Stevenage / WGC area) that would be great.

i would send my parents round but they are away. they did mine.

Aww, thanks misdee. I think it's OK to hijack my own thread to ask how Peter's doing? Haven't been on MN for a while.

he has caught the cold and cough we all have and isnt doing well.

Carpenter would charge a carpentry rate but does it also need to be cemented into the ground?

Would flat-packers take care of that too?

Handyperson sounds like the way to go ...

Sorry to hear that misdee - hope he's feeling better soon.

lionhart - aparently it doesn't need cement (according to the guy in John Lewis) although MNers have said it does.
