AnonyMouse_1469 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Morning! I am looking to buy a sturdy wooden garage for my setting. It has to be reasonably priced, solid and well made. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Early Learning Centre as this one half price at the moment .http://www.elc.co.uk/wooden-toys/big-city-wooden-garage/140190.html?cgid=e480#cm_mmc=Google-_-Learning+Educational-_-ELC-UK-G-Exa-Children's-Wooden+Toys%2F%2FChildren's-Wooden+Toys-Garage-_-wooden+toys+garage+-+e&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&gclid=Cj0KEQjwqMHABRDVl6_hqKGDyNIBEiQAN-O9hP0j_cbCyM3-RQqQrKwoBpRDD_WHE-LOyZrilC56X1gaAlfe8P8HAQ&start=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 https://www.gltc.co.uk/product/pitstop-garage-play-set/10003734 .I have had GLTC stuff in the past and found it has been of reasonable quality, but withstanding "commercial" use is a different matter,especially as I know how much you like CP goods. Maybe there is a German manufacturer on line or Swiss, I'm sure they would be able to offer good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I saw one on Amazon, but it does look a bit boring! Think we are so used to being bombarded by colour and stickers etc. This was like a wooden box with a ramp and parking underneath and 3 petrol pumps, nothing at all glitzy about it, did say suitable for nurseries and schools.

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We have this one in the toy library, is being used all the time my different families and coping well for a few years now. It is borrowed all the time and I seldom see it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We have an ELC one that we bought a couple of years ago. It's smaller than the mentioned by Stargrower but to be honest it's not particularly sturdy for nursey play and we have to glue bits back on and it's not on out all the time.

AnonyMouse_1469 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 No, CP don't make one.................though of course, the children could make one using blocks...............problem is thatI want one that is solid, not plastic and not all horrid bright colours/stickers. I might just have to suggest to CP that they makeone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We have a Plan toys one which has lasted well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Gizmos-0661100-Parking-Garage/dp/B00BOQ322M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_22106 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We have the one that Panders has linked too and it's been going for over 12 years that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19354 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JGR0V8I?psc=1 this is the one on amazon which I thought you might prefer This is the one we have and its out everyday and has been for as long as anyone can remember! The ELC one which I've seen at another setting had ramps but they weren't fixed and fell off, which was a bit frustrating for the littlies ( especially when they were transported off to another area!) They may have changed the design since then, maybe worth looking instore before spashing out. :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Our 25 year + one is very similar to panders link too. To be honest I thought our was a CP one until I had a good look and there's no Logo- just someone signature engraved with a can't think of the correct name wood burning thingy.

AnonyMouse_7120 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Also have the 'panders' link one, have had it for years and played with everyday, have written numbers in parking spaces now as its old, would buy again :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 We also have the 'Panders link garage'. Had it for many years and it's out all the time. Children stand on it to reach other items. The only slight problem we have seen is that some of the wood layer has peeled in odd places but considering the battering it sometimes receives it does well. I have just looked in ESPO catalogue and it is £43.58 + vat. Well worth the price! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_50818 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Had a little look on Elc to get the half price garage....and ended up spending £194 on other things too! Oppsie!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
