Triang Spot On furniture was produced in 1960. The style of this furniture being the late 1950’s The furniture made from moulded plastic and metal. It was sold in individual boxes, with the ‘Triang’ and ‘Spot On’ Logos, on a pink and cream box. The Range also included ‘Dollies Home’ introduced in 1962, which consisted mainly of room sets.

‘G’ GARDEN SET
The box is a bit battered, and is becoming thin along the creases, but I suppose it comes to most of us with age.
The ‘G.’ Garden Set consists of a table and umbrellas [1028], hammock seat [1027], sun lounger [1118], and 2 folding stools [1030].
HAMMOCK SEAT 1027
GARDEN TABLE 1028
As you can see the metal pole on this Garden Table is at a rather jaunty angle.
The table has a weight in the base to stop it from falling over.
FOLDING STOOLS 1030
The folding stools are tiny, it is a wonder they haven’t been lost.
GARDEN SHED SET P
This is a lovely Garden Shed Set, consisting of a Workbench with tools [1049], garden tools [1114], garden roller [1052], lawn mower [1050] and wheelbarrow [1051].
The tools on the workbench and on the back still has its original sellotape.
CARPENTERS BENCH AND TOOLS 1049
The metal frame of the workbench is painted black, the working vice is also metal, but not painted. The workbench top is made from moulded brown plastic, another example of the workbench can be found below.
This is the underside of the workbench showing the vice.
This is another one of the few furniture items that are marked as being made by Tri-ang. This is on the little shelf on the workbench.
The workbench comes with a fretsaw, hacksaw, tenon saw, chisel and plane. They are made of dark brown plastic. They are so tiny it is a wonder they have not been lost over the years.
CARPENTERS BENCH AND TOOLS 1049
This is a lighter version of the workbench. Constructed the same as the one above, the only difference is the colour. The turquoise vice probably dates it nearer to the Jenny’s Home range of furniture.
The black part of the workbench is metal, the rest is made of plastic. There is a little shelf underneath which can be removed.
The workbench comes with a fretsaw, hacksaw, tenon saw, chisel and plane. They are made of plastic which has been painted silver to represent the metal on the tools. They are so tiny it is a wonder they have not been lost over the years.
There is a vice attached to the bench, it actually works by turning the little metal screw.
This is another one of the few furniture items that are marked as being made by Tri-ang.
GARDEN TOOLS 1114
A nice selection of garden tools consisting of a rake, hoe curved spade, fork and flat spade. They are all made of brown plastic to represent the handles with the tools painted silver to look like metal.
LAWNMOWER 1050
The frame of the mower is made from coloured plastic, with a metal roller, and cutting rollers. The lawn mower can also be seen in red. The metal handle on this one is not painted, but often come painted green with yellow handles.

GARDEN ROLLER 1052
The garden roller is made completely of metal, with a yellow painted handle, it is quite a heavy item.

GARDEN TOYS
The garden is not just for relaxing in, but also play. There are various garden toys, a slide, sea-saw and swing.
This rather flimsy looking sea-saw is quite sturdy. The base is blue painted metal, the sea-saw is red plastic, but is very well made.
