Knee pads - an alternative?
I did start a discussion on knee pads somewhere, but I don't seem to be able to locate it at the moment.
After a knee replacement and subsequent difficulty in kneeling, I seriously wnndered about getting some knee pads, basically to make it possible 'to assist my wife' in knocking in the awning pegs.
After a visit to my local Planters Garden Centre, I changed tag a little bit and bought a foldaway garden kneeler, for the princely sum of £9.99. Not only does it have a much needed pad for kneeling, but if offers me help in getting up, after having plucked up the courage to kneel in the first place.
It packs fairly flat:
...folds out for use as a kneeler:
...and if you get fed up of kneeling down, you can sit down at the job.
It appears to be a solution, but I guess only time will tell. The worst scenario is that it's only cost me £9.99.
Has anyone used such a contraption, and how sucessful did you find it?
