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.
