Hi 
Can anyone recommend a robust garden kneeler that is also a seat when reversed. I have had one that has a black metal frame with pale green pads to kneel or sit on. The struts which hold the pads in place have broken making it unusable.
Any suggestions for a similar product which is stronger and more robust would be welcome. I weigh 12st 5lbs.
Many thanks
Richard

    I've just been looking at these as I twisted my knee recently and am keen to get back out into the garden asap.  There are a few on Amazon (not that I like to use Amazon, but all the others I looked at were out of stock).  I decided against it as I use knee pads ordinarily which allows me to drop to my knees whenever I need to.  Knowing my luck I would trip over the kneeler!

    All good points didyw. I've got a soft oval kneeler but it's a bit low for sitting on haha!!

    Hi Loraine3
    I've checked online Cooper's don't appear to sell a garden kneeler now.
    Thanks anyway.

    I got a cheap kneeler seat and I kept whacking my elbows on it. It's a rather useful pot stand now😊
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I have a couple of these Draper ones, which I also use as a hopup step.

    Should be available cheaper - I think I paid about a tenner. At that price it is disposable if I break it.

    Some people call them flimsy, but them seem to last me a number of years and I am heavier than you.
