This summer I wanted to get some lights for our garden. I didn't want to go to the expense of getting electric outside so we just went for solar lights. We chose the Gardman Solar Coach light. We thought they looked a bit different from the regular solar lights that all our friends had. We got them from our local garden centre. They come in a box of 2 so we got 3 boxes, they were £4.50 a box. The coach lights come complete with a shepherds crook to hang the lanterns from, very quaint! The lanterns, although only plastic, are a nice shape and if you don't look too closely they look half decent. They are black in colour with glass panels making the ...  Read the complete review

I bought 2 packs of these in the summer so that I could put one in each corner of the patio. At the time, I paid something like £10 per pack of 2 from the local Garden Centre, working out at £5 each. Looking at them, I thought that they would add a bit of ambiance for when we had the occasional evening out on the patio with friends. First impressions out of the box is that they look quite stylish. You have an old styled coaching lantern with a wide black top, over a number of glass panels giving a 360 degree cover, which is then finished off at the bottom by an additional black covering to bring it all together. The lantern itself is made from a satin ...  Read the complete review

I got these lights quite some time ago, i think they were picked up for about £30 for 4, They were chosen out particuarly as they were of a nice design with an old fashioned look to them. However i cant say im particuarly impressed by the solar powered lights, They are incredibly weak and even on the hottest days of the year the lights only produce a very small dim light which is very hard to see and notice. Ok so the design is good as they look like nice features in the garden particuarly in the day time. They each feature a pole mounted with a hook, where the plastic pole is inserted into the ground, the lamp part then slots onto this hook and is ...  Read the complete review

I bought eight of these coach light lanterns when I saw them being sold very cheaply on Ebay. I've got quite a few solar lights in my garden and as the garden is in a perfect position to get plenty of sunlight so they do tend to charge up quite well. These coach light lanterns appealled to me as they are very different to the plain upright solar lights I already have dotted about the garden. I liked the idea of being able to adjust the height and as I got the eight for less than £15 I was very impressed. I'm undecided about them really though. They are very plastic looking, which isn't apparent in any of the online photos I've seen of these ...  Read the complete review

Oh Boy have I had fun spending all my rebate from the Inland Revenue, It's not been hard finding things I want to add to my garden I can assure you.In fact there are so many products I want I think I'd need to win the Lotto Jackpot, but back in reality I'm still looking for items to improve my garden at what I consider to be a bargain price. Always one to save a bit of money, I am getting more and more interested in Solar power and it's benefits, the main one being anything that is solar powered saves me cash and saves the environment at the same time. My garden is slowly filling with all the new items I have bought for it, solar fountains, fair ...  Read the complete review
