How to Make Your Garden Kid-Friendly
Most of the time, the word “stylish” doesn’t fit with being family-oriented. However, there are
actually a lot of options to keep the elegance of your garden without letting your children sulk in a
corner.
Here are some quick tips to make your garden stylish but definitely kid-friendly.
1. Play with a swing set.
Swings are actually universal—it can be for kids but it can also be for adults who have a
knack for romance. By adding this outdoor furniture on your backyard or garden, you can
create an ambiance that is perfect for kids but also for adults who wish to reminisce on their
childhood memories.
Metal swing sets are usually recommended since they are more durable and more stable. If
you would opt for a metal swing set, you have to make sure that the one you are choosing is
made of rust-resistant galvanized steel. It may be quite tedious to install but it will surely
last a lifetime.
Wood is still commendable especially if your garden theme is close to nature or gearing
towards Mediterranean style. You have to be keen though in getting genuine hardwood
swing sets so that even in presence of moisture, your swing will not decay easily.
2. Make your own swing set.
If getting a ready-to-install swing set goes beyond your budget, you can actually make a
swing set for your own home. All you have to invest in are good materials, creativity, and a
great deal of craftsmanship.
Most do-it-you-own swing set comes in kits with wooden materials, nuts, bolts and step-by-
step instructions for assembly. The least expensive ones are usually made from high-grade
plastic.
3. Set up a playhouse.
Who wouldn’t love a playhouse? It actually poses two advantages: (1) your kids get to enjoy
a place they can call “theirs”, a place where they are free to play; and (2) you can keep your
kids away from your beautifully-kept living room and avoid potential accidents such as
breakage of your classic vases or spillage on your Persian carpet.
4. Fill in a sandbox.
It is expected that playhouses are quite expensive. Considering the materials and its design,
it can actually reach up to a thousand dollars! But if you still want your kids to have a staple
place for play, a cheaper sandbox is another good option.
Modern sandboxes have canopies or coverings on top to filter too much sunlight or to
protect your children when it suddenly drizzles.
5. Go up a slide.
What is a playground if it has no slide? Among all playground sets and accessories, slides
are deemed to be the safest yet still enjoyable.
So if you want to get a swing set, might as well pair it up with a slide. You can also buy slides
with built-in playhouses for you to save some money for other outdoor furniture.
These are just a few of a myriad of options to make your backyard more interesting for adults and
children alike. Did any of these spark an idea? Share it through a comment below.
