Giant Chess

A "larger than life" chess set will attract crowds and bring a new dimension to any recreation area or garden. Giant chess is eye-catching but is also designed to be played. The pieces are made from a very strong and durable PVC material that is UV protected and completely waterproof.

These Giant Chess pieces come in 2 parts - the base of each piece can be removed and filled with pebbles or a little sand in order to weight it as necessary. The King is 2 feet high and matching Giant Draughts Sets are available.

These Garden Games Giant Chess Sets are very similar to the Rolly Giant Chess Sets but have a simpler design, are made from a marginally thinner PVC and their bases are made from 2 parts so that they can stack inside one another for easier shipping. They are generally fine for light public use but where they will be left unattended or where they are likely to come in for rougher treatment, we would suggest you opt for a Rolly Giant Chess Set.
