    Morning Team,

    A neighbour asked me what "Garden Kneeler" would I recommend.

    I explained to her I dont have one yet but wont be long ....I informed her I would ask on here ... She said she doesn't mind spending £ on a "good one" .

    So as usual.... I shall await you wisdom.

    I couldn't manage without my one which has "legs" which fold out to make either a stool that you can sit on and bend down...or you can turn it upside down and kneel on the underside of the seat so when you want to get up you can use the legs, which are now sides, to help you get up.

          It's okay JJ, here at your service. :smile: Only thing with mine is it is stiff to open/close.

            Similar to mine, sadly I can't kneel at all ( I'm working to fix that though :fingers crossed:) so I just use it to perch on every now and then at the moment.

              All of them tend to have that problem. They need regular oiling but it's also best when opening or closing it to wear good gloves so you don't get your skin caught in the lugs. Some people don't bother to close them once open. They tend to hang them on a hook in the shed.

                I rarely close mine , just place it in the greenhouse as my stool.

                  This is similar to the kneeler I have, its plastic and does not fold. But I also cannot kneel comfortably these days, but the seat is very useful. 819AfPC8gwL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

                    Mine was difficult to open after the winter, it improved after a few blasts of WD40.
