I managed to "liberate" some from work 
and have 1 left over I don't need.
It's a used "full" sleeper (2.5m), good condition but has a bit of that oily/greasy stuff on it but would probably clean up ok.
Yours if you want it.

If you want to use them in the garden where the kids are going to be I would recommend going for new ones. The old ones start oozing tar and smell when it`s really hot. The smell is very much like marmite love it or hate it. But the tar will stick to everything.
If you can`t find someone local then give me a shout and I`ll ring one of my landscape gardener customers and find out where they are buying theirs at the moment.
There is three in my yard looking for a home ( new ones ) £10.00 each left over from a big job. I know the guy bought loads and he paid £13.00 each.
Hope this helps.

You're right about the tar stuff (It's very sticky and gets everywhere 
). Some have more than others, I was careful to choose mine carefully and the others I've used haven't got any visible at all (as you saw the other day Matt 
), even after the hot weather we had last weekend.
The one I have left had some on the underside that I didn't notice and has now come out on to the surface in the sun. Not sure how they react to pressure washing?
Like I said, if it's suitable for your needs and you want it, it's yours (for free), otherwise it will be going back to work to be dumped with all the others

I`ll put my dibs on them tomorrow then, they belong to a builder/landscaper who lives in the yard. I`ll also measure them and let you know the excact size. As they can vary, just to make sure they are what you want.
If Matt does`nt come back to me of course.

It`s when you order them blind and you never know whats going to turn up. My landscapers can`t take a chance on it these days and always go for new imagine installing used ones then throw the customers kids into the mix. It`s only going to end up messy.

I was all geared up to go outside & measure & photograph them for you, but it is now persistantly raining, so I guess you'll have to wait!
