Free: Single bed/camp bed/mattresses (Mynydd LLandegai LL57) Gifted Sofa-style metal-frame single bed with easy wheel-out camp bed, plus two old-but-quality sprung mattresses. Wheel-out camp bed has a bolt missing, and one slat is loose - as shown - but not broken. Can be easily fixed back. Mattresses old and marked but good quality; one not slept on for years, one slept on intermittently for past year. Length of top metal bed frame is 2m (depth 80cm, max height to top of frame 1m). Would prefer if someone took the lot, but could split if needed. Top metal bed frame dismantles with alun key and is very lightweight/easy to move.

24d

Free: Tennis racket (Shoscombe Vale) Gifted Tecno Swiss-engineered Tour Plus Junior tennis racket. 66cm length. Charity shop wouldn't take it because the handle needs re-covering, and I just noticed there's a slight rock when you set it down flat, so the frame must be slightly warped . . . but I'm putting it on here anyway in case someone has a kid who just wants to have a go at tennis - or wack a ball for a dog?!

27d

Free: Garden parasol and base (Shoscombe Vale) Expired Garden parasol (cream calico) and cast-iron base that are very high quality but have seen better days . . . the parasol needs a new pole (it broke in a storm after 5+ years outdoors) and the fabric could do with a clean.

Free: 4 vintage dining chairs (Shoscombe Vale) Gifted 4 vintage dining chairs. Bit scruffy/worn/some paint marks. Couple of top joints slightly loose, but all sturdy and definitely not falling apart.

Free: Shelves (Shoscombe Vale) Expired MDF and wood free-standing open-backed shelving unit: H 187, D 51, W 82 Removed from larger hand-built unit, so marks where cut free . . . is very solid and sturdy, would suit garage/shed - although have been using in house.

New and in box with all parts (only some shown in pic) – parts/assembly diagram included (nibbled by mice in storage – no mice included). Height ? Never assembled; think 60 (minimum) to 80cm high based on parts, width 40cm (based on belly). No emissions/safety info, so strongly suspect this stove would not be suitable for use in a house, only for workshop-type spaces with great ventilation.

66d

Free: Tongue in groove chipboard flooring (Shoscombe Vale) Gifted Tongue in groove chipboard flooring x 2 sheets 240cm length by 60 width. Has been stored in shed, so condition not mint – but good enough?!

Free: Handbuilt shelving unit (Shoscombe Vale) Withdrawn Very sturdy handbuilt shelving unit. Wood/MDF construction. Open at back. H 187 x D 51 x W 82. Was removed from bigger structure, so not fully painted and marks where removed, but would do very well for garage (and I've been using it for blankets/duvets/towels in my house).

I don't quite get how they're supposed to fit together - have used them in house as dog gates, and thinking they'd do as fencing for containing chickens/dogs/pets, or for allotment use . . . ? Bit rusty in places, but too potentially useful to go to scrap.
