After all this wonderful rain our back yard looks something like a rainforrest..we are needing to hire a wipper snipper - mower is no good on our angled backyard..

Does anyone know where you would hire one from? I have no idea...

TIA

maybe give kennards a call?

Hate to say it but hiring is almost as pricey as buying (at least it was when it came to mulchers) ... especially from Kennards (or any other place we rang up a few weeks ago).

If I were you I'd be more inclined to go to Bunnings and Magnet Mart to see what they've got.

Cheers,
Helen.

Try Bunnings - i know they hire out lawnmowers etc so maybe a whipper snipper

Big W at Gungahlin had one on sale last week for $ 99 which as a good price if you are wanting to buy one. I know that hiring one can be as expensive as buying one.

Thanks for that, DH saw that one for $20 in the Big W catalogue and Magnet Mart have one for $19 too - Kenards was charging $31 to hire one for 4 hours so I think we buy a cheap one!

Thanks again for all your suggestions!
