bungy 2 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I always wanted one when I was a kid and when my daughter mentioned several times that she would like one I started looking around to buy a kit or playhouse. Surprised at how expensive they were and poorly built I bit the bullet and started my own project. At the end of the first day they were desperate to see how high it was.A couple of hours in the evenings and i'm gettting there although slowly. Still more gaps to fill but spaced out roughly to let them start using it. A few more hours work to go and all the better now the slide and periscope have arrived. Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 looks good mate although am slightly dissapointed at the lack of half housing's on the struts, unless I just cant make them out in the pic ?? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 To be honest i've been like a big kid myself whilst building it but the kids love it. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 The struts are 1/4 housings and the whole thing is solid. Think I might of slightly over engineered it. Slide was an e-bay bargain and dictated the overall height. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 ah knew you would have done it properly :) over engineered is always best !!top work mate and the kids look well pleased Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Me and a mate built a big boys one for the world cup and turned it into a bar. Draught beer, fridge, heat light and a big TV with outdoor speakers and a dogs playing poker picture haha. I saw it at the weekend and he's boarded it up and put his bikes and mower in it, the massive gay!!! Link to post Share on other sites
