£17.50 on ebay. about a fiver for diesel to get there and back to pick it up, James put it together for me. the cushions it came with ming so I have temporarily draped the funky fabric over them. i am intending to make proper cushion covers though; yes out of that funky fabric.going to fork out for some proper waterproof fabric for the canopy too.

Love the fabric! It'll look fab.

Are you going to stain or paint the woodwork?

You can get all-over covers for them http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/product.php? ... e=webgains but I'm sure you, with all your skills, could make one like it for a fraction of the price! (And in something more interesting than bottle green!)

I'm jealous! :mrgreen:

Will be great with the waterproof fabric, you can sit and swing away in a big warm jumper when the autumn showers come!
