Neighbour didnt want them.They were in a bad state,So i sanded them,Got rid of the rotting wood.Then i went to my local recycling centre and got some paint and even some bond. So bonded them,Then painted them.

The table shows what condition they were in when i got them. I dont have before pics of the chairs,and bench,but i think you will get the idea.

Fabulous job. Very bright and cheerful--makes me think of the seaside! Are you going to do the table too?

hi sunflowergirl
you can get wood hardener to harden rotting wood, you could save the table! it would be lovely to have the full set!

Great job Sunflowergal, the after pictures that people put up here are actually so much nicer than what you would buy in any shop. Your bench and chairs would cheer up any garden.

benches
 
What a transformation! I love the colour combo too. Can't believe you got them at the recycling centre. Well done - they look absolutely fantastic!

they look really great, my first time on this website and i'm really pleased such items are available but little jealous you got em and did such a good job, ha.

They look really chic! Just like they're out of House and Home magazine.

Hi Sunflowergal, these are really beautiful. You did a great job. I would like to do same with my benches and chairs and would like to know what to use on them. I don't know anything about bonding and wouldn't know what to buy for this. Is it the same as primer? Also, can I use gloss paint on them. My dog has chewed the corners on mine a while back and so I have sanded them so that the corners are now rounded, but would love to do a good job. I would be grateful for any info on what to use.
