MAKINSTONE FACTORY OUTLET

Gardening is great but not everyone has the time to keep flowerbeds, plants and lawn looking lush and beautiful all year round. That’s where paving and stone garden features come in. Australian-owned-and-operated Makinstone creates gorgeous statues, birdbaths, water features and concrete pavers that make perfect low-maintenance, environmentally friendly additions to any garden area. What’s even better is that Makinstone sells them to the public direct from the factory at discount prices. When we last enquired, water features started at $180, while birdbaths started from $70. We also spotted a range of contemporary statues, which covered themes of love, family, friendship and hugs, starting from a reasonable $30. On top of this — mention Bargain Shoppers Guide to Sydney to receive a 10 per cent discount! Makinstone uses original moulds and everything is oxide-washed to create a natural, older sandstone look.
