Have you considered building one? Either yourself or having it done...

Have you considered a granite bench? I've seen alot of references to those...and in Japanese styles.

Happy Gardening!

Wooden outdoor furniture can be revived by wiping it clean, sanding it smooth with various grades of sand paper and adding a coat of sealant ...

I don't like manufactured stone and would like to use flat stones I have found for outside flooring in a garden- to put furniture on. What would I use to lay the stone/ how would I go about doing this?

yes natural stone will work well and look grate. to start mark out the area you will lay the stone, level it out as best you can. if close to the house ,grade it so water will run away from the house.lay down a base of coarse sand.level it out and moisten it with a garden hose fine spray,then tamp it down to settle it in good. start laying your stones down make sure you level each stone to the one next to it.when all the stones are down spread sand over the whole area.with a broom sweep the sand into the spaces between the stones, when done spray the area once more to settle in the sand..and your done.let it dry and if needed add more sand to fill in any spaces

has anybody bought the wooden folding garden patio funiture and then had a problem assembling the table??

do the legs go on the inside or the outside of the batons under the table?? there are instructions...but they seem to make no sense! it says use the 4 screws...but it appears that only 2 are needed.

any answers appreciated as hubby has been out in the garden for ages & his patience is wearing thin....thank you.

We get over a hundred spiders that spin webs all around our yard, in all the bushes, trees, and on our deck furniture. I am looking for ideas on how we can eliminate them. I believe they are garden orb spiders. It makes it impossible to enjoy our yard and deck all summer. They don't come into the house so that is not a problem, just the outside.

Wow, are you lucky. They eat so many insects. If the webs are on furniture or across paths, take the webs down when the spiders are not in them. They will move elsewhere. Although doing this may kill the spiders anyway, because many spiders eat their webs in order to reuse the silk. Silk takes alot of energy to produce, and by eating the old silk, the spider saves energy and physical resources.
I am scared to death of spiders. But I won't kill them outside.

I went downstairs in the middle of the night as i had heard something making loads of noise (must have been a VERY clumsy burglar). As soon as i got into the kitchen i was hit around the head with a loaf of bread- which the burglar then ran off with!
I then found a note saying that someone had stolen back their loaf of bread that i had stolen from them...... I then went outside and my patio furniture was gone!?
What sort of loony would rid me of my bread and garden furniture??

Is a sign! you must give things to the poor.
