Realistic Fake Straw Bale

These realistically rustic straw bales are fashioned in our workshop and have many advantages over the real thing. They are constructed from a solid wooden base covered on all sides with processed palm straw that has been treated. They have minimal shedding, so are ideal for venues where the real thing would be just too messy; there is no problem with mites and hayfever sufferers will be fine too.

One of the biggest advantages of our bales is that they fold flat for easy transport. Each straw bale is constructed from a four-sided hinged box - measuring 100cm wide by 40cm deep by 50cm high - that folds out and is topped off with a lid (see our diagram for details). They are a solid construction, so ideal to use as seating. You could use the inside space for storage.

The bales can be used inside or out, but we recommend you bring them inside in the rain - no one wants to sit on a soggy bale - and they are, of course, easy to fold up and move if the weather changes suddenly.

Price is per bale.
