Take your chess outside

Posted by Roline Pretorius on

With Summer quickly approaching, there is no better time to take your chess game outside. Now we know you might think that playing garden chess is a game that only the rich and make-believe kings can enjoy, but hold on to your rooks, because we can set you up with an outdoor set that won't break the bank.

Made from high-density recycled plastic, our garden sets can resist harsh weather conditions. They're easy to lift - even for small children, and the weight of the pieces can be adjusted. Simply separate the base of each piece and add/remove sand or water to alter the pieces' weight. You can check out our garden set collection here.

Each set comes with a couple of optional chessboards to choose from, including a lawn-friendly board that consists of 64 hard plastic squares which connect together. If you're overly ambitious, you can even create your own giant chessboard. The DIY Network features a tutorial that will help you pull together your own board over the course of a weekend.
