Hey everyone. Do you think a B&Q trestle table would do for an outdoor event? It's pretty basic but seems to be big enough. What do you all use?

I bought a set of 3 aluminium fold flat tables from Lidl which also clip together so can have in a line, a 3 sided square etc. I think they were about £26 but Lidl don't have them all the time If you ever see them have a look as they've been one of the best buys I've ever made - even to bring 1 or 2 to an indoor event to stick on the ends of the table provided - and very lightweight too!

The one I have is a plastic pasting table from B&Q..cost about £25 but has lasted 2 years & my books are really heavy

Cheers Rachael. Sounds good. I may have to venture back there.

I know I saw you carting them all in! :rotfl:Actually I need to get one of those wheeled lifting thingies too (I'm not very good with words this morning!)

Hey Rosie - I was just planning to do exactly the same thing - I need some sort of upright trolley on wheels - Argos have one but it is £50 - has anyone seen anything cheaper/similar?? Something I can stack my drawer units on, or my boxes that is small enough to fit in the car along with all the other stuff we lug around!!

I have a folding sack truck that I got out of homebase for £20 last year which is great. I got hubby to add some bungies to stop the boxes falling off. Last time I was in store they still had them but I cant find them online

Here is the same one as I have here though more expensive than I paid for it

I've seen those trolleys in ....guess where.....lidl!! (sounds like I spend all my time in there lol!) It was £26 and they had them a couple of weeks back - I was goin to get one but thought it was a bit dear, I suppose it wasn't really when compared to Argos!!!

Rach - are you on commission for Lidl?!!! Right, looks as if I need to get myself down to my nearest branch straight away!! Thanks for the link too Booklady - just what I am looking for, and that would do as a second resort...am fed up of struggling in with large boxes, with a selection of randomly placed large men looking on and not helping or holding doors open!!!
