Default Pitting chair

Hi Guys

Im sick of crap pitting chairs my current fold out chair is crap its really low and keeps breaking on the back and last night was the final straw when i cut my hand open trying to fix it. Ive tried the ones that come in a bag and fold out and there to low to. What im after is one of the arm chair style chairs. Which i thought where called directors chair. Does anyone know what i mean? Seen alot of people with them about. Anyone got a link to a good one.

yes, they are called a directors chair, if room isn't an issue, just get a metal frame chair, like for a computer desk.

All of them looked almost the same thing, but Ashley's is a bit more pricey...and have place for a glass of alcohol and another with Alka-Seltzer!

In another hand, black finish in Annsman chair seems to be a bit poor and less "outdoor ready"

This one matey is the bollox!!

http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk/pro...recnumber=4097

Ive tried one from go outdoors, a directors chair which is the same as the Annsman one which is aluminium very light and not very strong.. the fabric started to rip..

I found this one in Yeomans in stockport near me, another directors chair which is perfect for sitting in when sat at a table working on your car..

Easycamp Directors chair at £15.99 which was cheaper than the go outdoors chair at £20.

Is alot heavier duty, steel frame and when you put a coat etc on the back of it it doesnt tip over lol!!

Defo worth it Ash...

If your struggling to find one, let me know and i can pick one up for you and bring it to BRC's / F3,4,5?

Cheers

Nick
