blackboard for garden

[Helen79]

I've finally got a garden so looking for a blackboard to go outside on the fence if anyone know's where to get one from?

Can you use a large piece of board covered in blackboard paint? Then if it gets mucky/damaged, you can just stick another coat of paint on it rather than replacing it?

I've got painted blackboards in my garden, can't wait to get it finished and registered!

I have one.

I bought a largp piece of board and payed b & q 50p to cut it in half lol

painted it with black board paint and screwed one to my shed wall and one to the toy room wall

i nailed a bit of tarpoliong above it to cover when it rains I just drop it down and but a couple brick on then roll it up and tie it up when we use it.
In the winter I un screw it and take it off

At the moment I just use my ikea easel type blackboard it is moved from playroom to garden as and when needed

TTS have a nice selection of shaped blackboards if you're looking for something a bit more 'arty' than a simple sheet of board. x

I've just had DH make me a big one with plywood and blackboard paint. The kids absolutely love it - it's stuck to my wall under my living room window and fills up a really un-used space. Cheap as chips to make too!

I have cut the actual blackboard bit from an old easel (50p at car boot) and hung from fence.

I have an old easel in the garden which the children use. Although they love to chalk all over the toys and Patio

They also love to tip all the chalks into the back of the coupe car I have and under the seats of the small sit ons. and then they go soggy because I havent relised they are in there.

I hate picking chalks up. I dont like the feel of them.
