Playgrounds made of wood start with simple solutions
If you have a pair of dozens of flat boards and several beams, it does not matter whether you had to equip children's playgrounds with wood before or not, the ideas will come by themselves. For example, only 10 boards with a width of 10 centimeters can turn into a meter thick wall, through which you can climb over specially made cutouts for feet. And low, and at the same time for a small child it will be a serious obstacle.
For such an attraction you need to take two bars length of one and a half meters and dig them vertically for half a meter into the ground. In all the boards, except one, having retreated 20 centimeters from the center in any direction, we cut out a semicircular notch with a radius of not less than 5 centimeters. Now prikolachivaem all 10 elements of our wall to the beams, from the bottom up, starting from the board without a notch. We alternate the details so that the cutout is to the right, then to the left.
If possible, the resulting ladder can be made the beginning of the hill. To do this, vertically dig in two more bars so that they make up a square with the previously set. Further we put cross-bars on the first and second pairs of supports, and on top we fill boards, having received as a result a rather spacious platform. The handrail can be made by yourself, but you can buy ready-made ones. As for the roller coaster, it's better to buy a plastic one, since the home-made will not fit the .
Custom wooden playgrounds
Did you notice that even a child's imaginary bed turns into a raft, a spaceship, a car or even a house? And if you provide children with full-fledged constructions for games on their assigned site? Let's try to fantasize. So, here is an ordinary bench: two logs dug into the ground, on which a board is stuffed. If on one of the edges of a narrow seat from above to fill a small log, and to adjust the second to get the letter G, the crossbar from the bench, the child will immediately see in this structure a horse.
Wooden playgrounds are so good that they are easy to install new designs and change old ones.
For example, putting on the ground 4 old tires from the car and filling them with earth( and it is possible and cement), we get an excellent basis for the platform. As cross bars, we use two beams with a cross section of at least 10x10 centimeters, the pad is made of boards of 2 centimeters. Now it is enough to install the bars from the bars, fix them with the help of corners, stretch a thick rope between them, in the middle of the platform make a hole and drive a mast into the ground, directly to it to attach the old wheel from the bicycle( to spin) and the ship is ready.
Playgrounds from the bar - we begin a large construction
If you have at least a cubic meter of timber and you are ready to part with it in favor of a playground, there is no need to regret such a generous gesture, the enthusiasm of the guys will be the best reward. So, that can be built. For example, a rocking rocker from a solid bar. For racks, take two-meter pruning and bury them half a meter into the ground. We drill in the supports, 10 centimeters from the top, and also in the center of the balancer of the hole.
The one in the rocking beam must have an inner diameter larger than the cross-section of the shaft of the axis, while on both sides this hole must be squashed and glued onto the bearings, through which the cross member passes. The ends of the rod are cut in advance for a couple of centimeters, and pushing it through the supports, pushing it apart, which will ensure fixation. Now, at the ends of the beam we attach the seats, as well as the brackets for the hands, and the swing is ready.
Using sawn timber, be sure to work them with a plane, then sand with sandpaper so that children can play safely. Children's playgrounds from the bar often turn into whole gaming complexes, with slides, stairs, spacious grounds, where you can install and the steering wheel, and even some old panel from the car with indicators and buttons.
It's not necessary to have high-quality steps upstairs. On the one hand, you can pull the net-web, which, in the presence of a roof, can be attached to the overhang of the roof, or to the railing. On the other hand, you can install a ladder with a slope angle of more than 45 degrees, and to help those who want to climb, stretch the rope from above, and holding on to it, the child will easily overcome a steep ascent. Well, a quick descent will provide a chute slide.
