BIG INVESTMENTS

When choosing a large outdoor play structure, you need to consider the entire age range of children who will be using it. It is possible to find structures that will adapt to almost every age, and to which you can add extra pieces as your budget permits. The Indiana play structure, by TP, includes a large climbing tower and triple swing frame that can be supplemented with a wide range of accessories suited to a variety of ages and abilities. The structure is made from selected pine, pressure treated to resist decay and insect damage, and includes a 1.2 x 1.2m platform that is covered with a large canopy. The structure is 225cm high and requires 450cm of ground length, if you include the rope ladder. The playframe is priced 699; the Crazywavy Slide Body is priced 85; swings are priced from 16. This, and other TP play structures and accessories, are available from Letterbox.
