I think I'm going to buy a garden table and chairs from this shop so will get cheaper postage if I buy a parasol from them but can't work out the differences between them and am getting beyond caring ...

Or shall I get a nicer one from elsewhere ...

We have a tendency to leave them out in the rain ...

er i think i would go for the wooden one. depends what furniture you have though. and have you got a base for it? or maybe it comes with one, soz didnt look

Oh god bases too!!! Bloody hell I wish I could just buy everything in one package. Am getting the table & chairs, plus cheap extra folding chairs from elsewhere, parasol, chair cushions, and now a BASE too!!! Oh the effort.....

It's a cast aluminium table by the way - this one

Thanks for bothering forever

I got one from Tesco last week, cream material, wooden half price so only £7.50.

Sorry I haven't answered your question, but I love a bargain!

franch · 25/06/2008 20:41

That is good. Mind you the one we have now is as you describe, and now looks awful as it's been left out so often ...

So far I have been very good and taken mine in every night, but we shall see as the summer goes on....

thats a really lovely table set. dont think the wood would go, im not sure now!

Maybe the metal one. The bases are really heavy but nicer to have a metal base than a plastic one with the set you are getting.

some bargains here i bought the 2.7m hardwood ones and am v pleased with them

forevercleaning · 25/06/2008 20:47

never take mine in, it stays out all year. i did plan too, but never got round to it. same as putting a cover over the trampoline, that never happened either!

Lazy git aren't I !!

smint - have never seen a granite base, they look unusual. i have a cast iron one, and they look a good price on the tesco site

sherbetdipdab · 25/06/2008 20:51

they have granite bases in Asda I do spend time in places that are not supermarkets, honest

ChippyMinton · 25/06/2008 20:51

LOL at smint - i namechanged for another thread! Granite does look nice. I have a naff plastic one .

forevercleaning · 25/06/2008 20:52

are they nice? I am interested as i have never heard of them before. will away to the asda for a nose at some stage

sherbetdipdab · 25/06/2008 20:57

The ones I saw were granite spheres, they looked very nice, they also had cast iron ones that would match your table and chairs.
