Family Summer Essentials
Summer is here so let’s get sunshine ready… even if that is only a paddling pool in the garden. There’s no stopping us…
INNER CHILD
Whilst these lush swings are made for children, they are just as much fun for adults of all ages who want to relive their childhood. The product information says suitable for indoor or outside use, for ages 3 to 100 years old, so who are we to argue? They also make baby-friendly versions too – no one is left out.
Made from naturally durable wood, top quality furniture canvas and yachting braid, with stainless steel fittings they will last too and come with a nine-year warranty. Go ahead, join in the swing.
