Hi everyone. I'm trying to complete one side of a large flower bed, and am missing about 15-20 tiles like this:
brown tiles
Has anyone any they would be wiling to sell or donate, please? I've tried freecycle and the reclamation yard down by savacentre with no success, and ebay offers no one near enough to make the journey worthwhile.
Mmmm, I saw some like that, but they are very much of a uniform colour, and I suspect they'd stick out like a sore thumb next to the hundred-odd old fired clay ones, with the various colour nuances and weathering, no matter how long they were out.... Thank you for thinking laterally, though.
I think i may have some somewhere in the depths of the garden. will have a look tonight and pm you accordingly
That would be amazing,
penfold - thank you for looking.
Ach Larry, that looked so promising, but I can't find anything when I search. I'll keep an eye on it though.
On a brighter note, I just found one more tile between the roots of a very old rose I'm trying to move. Suspect the rose won't make it - wrong time of the year - but it's worth a try.
Oooh, now why couldn't I find them? Brilliant. Thanks, shzl400 - shall go to Vauxhall on Saturday if I don't hear back from Penfold, and see what's there. That top right one looks like a perfect match! I hope it's not £15 each, though. That would surely be insane.....
oops - sorry - was out last night - will be in tonight and will investigate, but think mine look newer
Thanks Penfold.
No worries if you don't think yours would be a good match - good old Shannon's have come up trumps with modern reproduction ones that are much longer (60 cm, in fact) but a decent terracotta-ish colour match and not too uniform. Hurrah for SE23! So either way I have success.
Hi edd, that sounds just like what I have. Terracotta, new, rope top and about 60 cm long. They behind my shed and have at least two, maybe more. You welcome to whatever is there. Pm me if you want them
