A large play area built around the theme of a castle
The structure here is built with the same timbers you will see on any of our decks. We always put safety first and use both yours and your childrens ideas when we are planning.
The main castle is approx imately 1.5m square and a similar height. The roof is ply boards with felt making the roof completely sealed. There are 2 ramps with a climbing rope and also climbing holds. To the centre we have built steps for the younger ones.
The rickety bridge is built using 38mm manila rope and decking boards bolted through the rope.
The sunken sandpit has a hinged lid which can be bolted back to avoid any nasty accidents and the sand can come in almost any colour. Once the lid is closed this can be walked over or used for a table and chairs.
The monkey bars lead from the raised castle platform to the lower sandpit platform. The maximum fall height at any point is 750mm high.

A play structure this size would cost somewhere in the region of £5000. This was completely finished in a timber decking floor as to a barked area. The timbers used come with a 15 year guarantee and are built to the same spec you would find in you local park.

The area underneath can be used for storage or could have sides for an underground play area.
All sorts of accessories can be attached like- swings, monkey bars, rope ladder, climbing ramps and walls. All our play structures are custom built to each garden. This would cost somewhere in the region of £1650.
A barked play area in Thatcham
This barked play area was originally a boggy area to this garden. We have rotovated and levelled the area. We have laid sand with in the soil to help with drainage. The bark used is a rubber immitation bark which does not rot down and no need for turning once a fortnight. The rubber bark is heavier which means is less likely to move around under foot. The fall height for rubber bark is approximately 100mm to every 300mm of chipped bark. This play area has a sunken sandpit with orange sand. A timber edging using a 50mm round timber concreted in to the ground. A timber swing and an area for which free standing slides, see-saws, tables can be used.

This was the original shed only a few years old and clearly not a quality built shed.
The new shed to replace the shack above. The spec is detailed on the services page. The sheds can be priced via email with just a few details.
