Guest Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Hi as title says we have £1500 for outside play equipment. we are fortunate enough to have two large fenced gardens, one is half paved and half grass and the other larger area if basically like a woodland (but open), lots of trees and space, it really is lovely. the outdoor area has huge potential, but other than having ribbons on the fence for threading, windmills and wind chimes and cars/bikes, balls etc..... and one plastic play house (little tykes type, i think).... the area is ratgher boring and is not utilised how it could be... so any ideas on developing our area, what would you spend the money on? what are your outdoor areas like, i would love some inspiration. Thanks Dawn
Guest Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Well we had a grant a couple of years back I bought a shed which we postioned a few feet away from the fence then we put strong netting from the shed roof across to the top of the fence forming a sort of ally way (ribbons dangling down ect) Soft road flooring in a circle for bikes ect with a painted crossing on Small and large climbing frames .Small plastic house & wooden bench

Guest Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 We have just spent some grant money on a willow tunnel and geo-dome designed and partially put up (with the gardeners help).They are fab and will last forever. A big investment.
