Bob the Builder workshop

Hi, Please find attached pictures of the Play area we built this year. We purchased the Loft Kit and Slide from you, we amended the design of the loft so we could keep an eye on the children going up from one direction and have added the swing to it. Our son Dylan (3) and his cousins Sean (1) & Jamie (11) have played most of the summer in this.
It has been a workshop for “Bob the Builder”, a pirate ship and a very good hiding place for Sean (not so good for his mother!! ) The boys grandfather also tried it out & used the slide to get down & after spending 20 minutes laughing on his bum at the bottom said “wow that’s fast”.
Thank you for giving the inspiration & fun by building our own creation and we are sure it will give the boys many happy afternoon.

Double Tower and Monkey Bars

My husband asked me to send in this picture today for the competition. We adapted one of your designs, added lots of your accessories and it has been really successful. Both our children spend hours with all kinds of activities and games based around their climbing frame.
