Cheap garden toys by TP + half price sand and water table.

I just found this site which has some good special offers for garden toys.
activitytoysdirect.com/special-offers.asp
Best of the offers was half price sand and water table (which is what I bought) but thought if anyone was looking for wooden climbing frames (I have a playgroup so don't have the room - wish I did though!) it would be a good place to look.

    personally think that those are well over priced sorry OP just the exact sand table is cheaper in tesco and argos the tramoline is cheaper in b&q etc
  • it was the Transportation station I bought - £30 cheaper than Tesco.

    Also, a word of warning about trampolines. If it's £99 it's a very cheap China import (think about it - they are everywhere and shops are making a margin having shipped it from China! How good can they be?). A lot of cheap trampolines are imported under 'sports equipment' tarrifs and are therefore exempt from CE testing. There are great bargains on trampolines for a decent quality one. You only want to have to buy a trampoline once, and you generally get what you ay for.

    Sorry for the rant - working with H&S and 30 children every day, you learn the hard way.

    Once again, thanks Tiny Dancer. I am sure that you and I are going to have the same items in our gardens. Been looking for a sand/water table, so really appreciate your post.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I have been looking for a sand and water table and the transportation one looks fun, I like the train, but just a warning, I found these reviews and it says the cover isn't waterproof so the sand gets soggy if it rains!

    The other cheaper tables I have seen with plastic covers often say they leak anyway in the reviews but just thought I would point this out as I would have presumed the cover was waterproof!

    I bought our 14" trampoline for £75 nearly 4 years ago and it's still in excellent condition and used every dry day (and a few wet ones too lol, lots of wet bums)
