Small green house (Carnforth LA5)
Gifted
It's about 1 metre square. Panels are made of plastic with aluminium frame. Both sides open like in the second picture. The bottom panels lift up so you can store spare compost and what not underneath. very good for growing almost anything, but we have a polytunnel now, so it is unused. Easy to lift with two people, but will need a van or trailer to collect it in.

Flymo Petrol Mower (Carnforth LA5)

Petrol mower (Carnforth LA5)
Gifted
Petrol mower by McAllister. It was getting difficult to start before it went into the shed, so it will need the carburettor cleaning out, but apart from that it is complete and in working order. I'd keep it, but I have too many projects already.

This is quite a handy gadget if you have a number of books, but not enough to fill a shelf. The two parts slide into each other in order to adjust to suit the number of books you have. Solid wood.

Home workshop quality router table. Workzone brand. In very good condition. I have never used it, so looking to pass it on to someone who has a use for it. There is no router included.

Ornate gateway (Carnforth LA5)
Gifted
Ornate garden gateway. Looks fantastic when it is covered in colourful trails of flowers. The gate opens as you can see in the pics. It is over 6 feet tall, so you can walk through it (obviously). It has some rust on it, so you can either paint it or just hide it under creeping/trailing flowers, ivy or roses or whatever. It's not intended as a security gate, more of a 'gateway to a hidden area' kind of thing.
