Odd are the makers of Odd's Old Rocker, the authentic
fully upholstered swinging garden sofa from a bygone era.
You can have your Old Rocker 'As You
Like It' by using Odd's velvet and hopsack fabrics
or old tribal rugs. They will create something as exotic
as the inside of a palanquin or choose 'The
Classic' Old Rocker which is as english as a herbaceous
border. With rot and water resistant canvas on the roof
and walls your Old Rocker can be left outside all summer
long.
THE CLASSIC OLD ROCKER
Our 'Old Rocker' is a fully upholstered swinging
sofa, hung on a frame made entirely of stainless steel with roof
and sides in Odd's canvas.
The sofa is handmade in England with a traditional beechwood frame
and is as comfortable as the very best sofa indoors.
Simple to set up, no tools required.
Equally at home in the city or the country.
Every bit of our 'Old Rocker' is made in England.
Inside Walls and Spring Gaiters
are optional extras – available in matching canvas
or any of Odd's fabrics, they hide the stainless steel frame.
The Sofa's base is the traditional galvanised sprung wire
mesh.
We keep stock of Rockers in five canvas colours: Sail White,
Faded Green, Elephant, Faded Red and Cornish Blue.

We put Maud velvet Loose Covers and Roof
Lining on our Rocker and have it inside during
the winter months and with a fire blazing and fairy lights
inside, it is the best place for hiding away with a book.
Fire retardant liner required when used inside.
We recommend that an Overall Cover
is put on to keep all your cushions, blankets, books and
the radio safe from the rain blowing in, and with the cover
on, Rockers make the perfect den where no one can find you.
The Sofa can be used with the Cover on, providing a back
to the Rocker, so even in howling wind and rain you can
carry on rocking!
OVERALL COVERS
MAKE
THE PERFECT DEN
The Aga of the garden... you can't
cook on it - but its much more comfortable to sit on!
Old Rockers never die, they keep on rocking...
And this is why...
Design & engineering
There is a pocket on the outside of the square
arm. The sofas back can be set in three different
positions.
The shoes for each leg are 6" wide.
The sofas base has a sprung wire mesh
base.
The stainless steel frame and the sofa fold
easily no tools required for winter storage.
The stainless steel T section
ridge has a badge with the Rockers unique number.
The frame is entirely made of stainless steel
with solid rivets holding the moving parts.
Styling Options
The Overall Cover keeps the weather out.
The Rocker can be used without taking the
Cover off, by unzipping the front panel.
With the Cover on, the front half of the roof
can either be forward or back.
The roofs edge can be either scalloped
or straight and the fringe can be either standard length,
long or no fringe at all.
There is a choice of arms rounded
or square.
The Rocker frame has been subjected to gruelling
tests by F.I.R.A. (Furniture Industry Research Association)
which is acknowledged as a leading world authority on the
testing of furniture. It successfully passed all the tests
– including one fatigue test that involved the application
of 16 stone 25,000 times!
The cushions are fibre and
feather filled, and the canvas is both water and rot resistant.
Assembly is very quick and easy - the frame simply unfolds
and locks into position.
Thickly padded back
Thinner back with cushions
The sofa back of all Old Rockers
is fully upholstered. There is a choice of a thinner back
with three cushions or thickly padded without back cushions.
MADE IN ENGLAND
The sofa hangs from four springs,
two on each arm.
Inside Walls and Spring Gaiters
in canvas or fabric, hide the frame and springs.
