    Recommended brands for concrete rollers

    I am planning to buy a lawn roller next month. I’ve been researching different types of rollers and I’ve read about the many benefits of a solid concrete roller. I’ve had a good look online and they seem to be few and far between. I found a few products for sale on eBay and that was about it. Are there any brands you’d recommend I check out who still sell concrete rollers? Or are they no longer being produced?

    Is there any way I could safely and legally paint a small ‘football pitch’ with the use of white paint in my back garden? It’s just for the kids. They’ve been nagging me to make Anfield in the back garden haha. So I said I’ll see what I can do.
