lafuma

[GingerPete]

hi all, please can someone tell me where i can mail order some new elastic for my lafuma chairs...thanks...pete

Towsure (new catalogue just out) has it, or some garden centres that sell lafumas have it. We got it from our local garden centre to re-string ours last summer.

I found the elastic made our Lafuma sun lounger too soft so re-strung it with clothes line clamping the ends together with a grip intended for wire fencing - a small 'U' shaped thing with a cross bar secured by two nuts - from B&Q.

While on the subject of these chairs could someone please tell me why they are so bloody expensive?

Lord B,

obviously you haven't lounged in one on a warm sunny afternoon with a cold drink near to hand.

Seriously though they are sooooooooooooooooooo comfortable you just seem to float no matter what position you set them at.

I bought ours in France 2 years ago in a garden centre in the Vendee, only cost 80 euros each.....bargain!

I was given a Lafuma recliner for my birthday in October so look forward to using it this year in the hot summer we are going to get! However at the NEC show this week there were now several copies of the Lafuma and they were half the price. Were they as comfortable - yes they were and comparable in weight, so perhaps Lafuma will have to look out at the prices they sell them in the UK for.

We've got the copies - multi-position, full loungers not just the chair bit - bought them three years ago for
