B&Q HUGE Parasol with solar lights - £20

B&Q have a super offer on the following Parasol..

Grey Rectangular Parasol with Lights.

It has a stainless steel effect stand with a "crank handle" to open the brolly up and solar lights to the centre of the inside of the parasol and also smaller lights up each "prong" of the parasol.

Material is a cream/grey colour.

Size 2.6 metres.

We picked this up from our local B&Q (Stafford) - they had about 20 or so in stock.

Catalogue Number appears to be 83011501? Cant see it on the website. Is in their recent Garden magazine though.

Sales Assistant advised us it was originally £80, then down to £50 then finally on sale at £20!!

Great Bargain, even if we dont get anymore good weather this year..will be great for next summer.

Also;

Heavyweight parasol base reduced to £9 in Wilko's which works well with the parasol.

    Just been to B&Q in Peterborough. The code in Sally's post isn't on their system, but when I described I was after a cream parasol with Solar lights, they advised me that they were sold out and are end of line.

    Good luck to anyone who manages tp get hold of one!!

    I got one today but am missing the solar panel cap from the top... so have no lights :-(

    Have they still got these in Stafford? I'd be willing to pay postage etc....

    Hi Peter

    We thought this too, however the solar panel is lodged in cardboard packaging right in the top of the box!!

    Hope you find it :)

    Thanks op.

    The solar panel deely should be in a hidden compartment at one end of the box. Took me awhile to find it :)
  • Mine WAS missing, but bought another one from the St Helens store, they had about 20 on Thurs/Fri
  • I bagged one at St Helens too - had to discard the packaging to get it all (see below) in the car and a helpful member of staff checked the packaging as they carted it away as I piled it into the car. You guessed it, no solar panel, they'd missed it... Got it replaced later though :-}

    Very nice it is too :-)

    They're also doing folding recliner chairs in the "Chichester" range for £22 each, with armless folding chairs at £24 for a pair in the same range.
