Hi,
We're lucky enough to have a rather large garden, about 100ft long, and 30ft wide.
I'd like to transform the end into the play area of my boys dreams! I've 3 boys, oldest 7, youngest soon 1.
Just wondering if anyone has any tips, ideas etc. I'll post pics if you like.
I was already thinking of painting our old plastic shed and transforming it in a cafe/mechanics etc, get some blackboard paint for 1 wall, maybe some old tyres for rolling around.
Not 100% on swings, hate the whole 'kicked in the face' fear. also not keen on sand being brought back in the house.
Got pipes I thought they could put balls down, got plenty of wood from other projects.
Got a trampoline but the net got destroyed when the boys got a friends dog on there last year (!), thinking of sinking it into the ground....
Wish I had a nice climbing tree but nope. But grass and concrete at the end.
maybe a water area. Maybe a magnetic area...
Will wood chippings attract cats?
Thinking of painting the concrete path something bright, maybe blue for the sea and lots of fish etc.
Would appreciate any advice!
Don't mind spending some money but not lots and lots.
