From swings, see-saws, and climbing frames to playhouses, sandpits, and a complete adventure playground, Play Equipment for Kids is an essential guide to building safe, practical, and imaginative play equipment for children of all ages.
More than 30 projects, using a variety of techniques and different materials, are included. All feature straightforward instructions, step-by-step illustrations, and full-color photographs. Even inexperienced builders will find complete, easy-to-follow information on how to make simple projects that will provide hours of enjoyment for children.
Inside, you’ll find out how to: build play apparatus, safely and securely; choose the most appropriate materials for your needs; integrate play equipment with your garden furniture; maintain and secure play apparatus; and create exciting, imaginative and, above all, safe playgrounds.
Maybe it’s the kid in me, but I loved some of these projects and can easily imagine building bigger versions so that I can play, too! Detailed plans for sturdy and attractive swings, seesaws, climbing frames, playhouses, sand pits, forts and castles, pools, and outdoor furniture are included here, and I wanted to build them all. I bet you will too when you see this book.
