    Default Playground

    Hi,

    This isn't a new build, its actually 2 years old. I've mentioned this to a few people on here recently so thought I'd pop up some pics.

    I built this playground for my son's 2nd birthday, who now enjoys (REALLY enjoys) it with his 2 year old sister.

    I'd seen a few of the self-assemble playgrounds made out of cheap timbers and thought I could do better at a lower cost. I certainly did better, but my budget sure blew out! Though if we ever have an earthquake, I'm taking shelter under the playground. Its all painted treated pine and each post is cemented 600mm into the ground. The two platforms are 1.5m and 1.9m high.

    After designing it in Sketchup and getting the materials, it took 7 very busy 12-14 hour days to build - my whole holiday between Christmas and my son's birthday. Being the most 'woodwork' I'd done in the previous 2 years, I loved it though.

    The kids (and their friends) absolutely love it, and each time I see their smiles and hear their laughs I'm reminded of the exact reason I built it.
