Free: Pieces of chicken wire (Eastbourne BN20) Promised Although the roll of chicken wire has been taken. I do still have several pieces - one is 8’ x 4’, then there are 10 pieces varying from 4’ x 18” to approx 3’ x3’. They were used for vegetable garden protection as “tunnels” over rows of seedlings, but I have flattened them all so could be made into whatever you want. Summerdown / Old Town location

Free: Sprung mattress 44” wide (Eastbourne BN20) Gifted We got this second hand, there are marks on it but it doesn’t smell.

We put a clean cover on it and used it better-side-up as an occasional bed. Size 44” wide x 6’1” long. Cover comes with it! Summerdown / Old Town location
