The kid loves to play in the sandbox. Older kids are not indifferent to vines, stairs and slides. They even agree to run away to the next yard, if there is a place to play. Parents feel safer if there is a well-equipped playground in the yard or in the country house. You can do it yourself.
It is necessary
- Components for a children's play complex
- Carpentry tools
- Sand, crushed stone, granite chips
Instructions
Step 1
Select a site suitable for the site. If you are going to equip a site in the courtyard of an apartment building, contact your nearest housing office. The consent of other residents and the approval of the municipality may be required.
Step 2
Decide which objects should be required. Small children need a sandpit, a bench not far from it, a swing and a ladder or liana. The sandpit and the bench will also appeal to older children, as well as the swing. They need ladders more impressive, and they will not give up the slide either. Mark the area with safety zones and runways in mind.
Step 3
Make a sandbox. Remove the top layer of earth to a depth of about 20 cm. In the center, dig a small hole 75-80 cm deep and fill it with rubble. This is to ensure that the sand dries quickly after rain. Cover the bottom of the sandbox with a layer of rubble. In this case, the layer should be thicker at the edges than in the middle. Better to make a slight bias. Fence the sandbox and bring or order river sand. It is usually carried by utilities that operate playgrounds in the city.
Step 4
Make a swing. They can be different. You can find many components in hardware stores, but you can do everything yourself. You will need two posts, about 3 m long and 15 cm in diameter, a crossbar, a rope or chain, 2 large hooks and a seating board. Dig in the racks. This must be done thoroughly and carefully, because the safety of your children largely depends on their strength. Reinforce the cross member with a steel strip and attach to the uprights with spikes. At an equal distance from the center of the crossbeam, fasten two hooks on which the rope or chain is hung with a plank attached to it.
Step 5
Place the slide. Plastic is preferable, it is better to buy it in the store. But if there is a desire and time, you can make a slide with a straw covering, according to the old technology. The platform from which they slide, the ladder and everything else can be done by ourselves. It is necessary that the slide is stable, and all its elements are securely fixed.
Step 6
On the dacha playground there may still be all kinds of rocking chairs - horses, an armchair and more. For older kids, you can install horizontal bars of different heights, poles, climbing wall. You can build a plywood house, ship or car for story games, and even build an old castle. It all depends on the size of the territory.
Step 7
Don't forget to paint your equipment bright, cheerful colors. For kids, this will create a positive mood, and the structures themselves will protect them from rust or decay.
Step 8
How to cover the area between objects is up to you. It can be fine granite chips or coarse sand. You can sow the area with grass. Crushed stone is not recommended - it is difficult for young children to walk on it.
