Request: Garden parasols any condition (Horsham, Nr Forest School) - I'm on the look out for one or more wooden garden parasols to repurpose. The fabric isn't needed so it can be any condition. It doesn't matter if it doesn't stay in an open position or if the winder doesn't work (if it had one) but it does need to have all the arms and be in reasonable condition. If you have one you think may be suitable before you take it to the tip please message me. Please note I can collect very local to or from Horsham only. Free: Concrete capping and coping stones (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Gifted - Used and weathered so would blend in nicely as replacements. The coping stones have some mortar still on them in places which I haven't tried to remove. I think the capping is around 30cm, coping is about 60cm but happy to check on request. Please note one capping stone is slightly different size to the others.

Request: Garden tools (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Expired - Does anyone have any garden tools they no longer need? A draw or swan neck hoe and a soil rake would be especially helpful as I'm currently having to borrow them also a digging spade, fork and hand fork and trowel would also be very useful to keep a set at my allotment. Cheap and bendy tools especially hand forks and trowels or those that have seen better days also useful as I can repurpose them. If you have any of these and willing to gift please message me. Thank you Request: Shed gutter brackets (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Expired - Two brackets needed for half round mini/76mm shed/greenhouse guttering (not standard house size). Any colour. Free: Slate chippings (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Gifted - Three bags of used slate chippings. Prompt collection appreciated. Free: Roller blinds (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Gifted - Light grey standard roller blinds all used condition taken down from conservatory. Three smaller blinds that were all 80cm but were cut to fit about 70-75cm (could be cut down again for a 60cm window perhaps) one has frayed edge and needs a trim to tidy up and all have been up during building work and have dust line near the bottom as seen in photo which could be trimmed off or maybe someone wants the ends as replacements. Also another one the same colour but better quality from Dumenl MIll to fit 110cm wide some minor small marks but generally better condition. If interested please message me and include when you could collect.

Free: Dispenser (Horsham, Nr Forest School) Gifted - Water/food dispenser 1.5L capacity. It has been used for water for small dogs but it relies on the tight fit of the top to the base to hold it and I found it did get knocked off too easily. Maybe ok for water in an aviary or bird cage. The top has different depth notches so it can also be used for dry food such as cat biscuits or even seed.
