Hi Jacko

Depends on what you are looking for, plastic, metal or wooden. There are many places springing up on both sides of Kyrenia, and from experience prices vary.

Plastic is cheaper but doesn't last long as the heat of the sun makes it brittle so will only last maybe a maximum of 2 years.

Plastic covered metal will rust but should last a bit longer than plastic.

Wooden is much better but also more expensive and needs regular treatment with a wood preservative.



Sorry I didn't really answer your original question but as I said it depends on what you want.

I bought wrought iron sun loungers and table from Fiskos. Probably next year will give them a coat of hammerite paint which lasts longer.

Sorry karen and Stevie forgot to say i was looking for the wrought iron range or wood never liked the plastic range in the UK as it weathers as you rightly say. Stevie-d you say you bough yours from Fiskos do they have a web site to have a look at?

having lived in the middle east for a large number of years where the weather is harsher than Cyprus I Istrongly recommend wood and preferably made from locally processed wood. With a little treatment every year or two it will last as long as you want.



I have taken my own advice in TRNC by the way
